 Whilst I appreciate the fact you linked an alternative...the starting price is at ~100 EUR, which isn't exactly an alternative to a free piece of software Is there any other software alternative you know of? Maybe someone mentioned something in the thread? 6 comments
@arraybolt3 I mean...Ventoy is based on GRUB2 soo... :blobcatthinkingglare:  @cyrus Is it though? I believe it has GRUB binary blobs in the source code tree, but from my research it appears to have a lot of additional functionality (such as the ability to boot Windows ISOs, which generally don't take to the GRUB approach so well). @arraybolt3 it is GRUB2, they have a bunch of custom scripts to extract and boot the required files from Windows ISOs manually Ventoy uses https://github.com/ValdikSS/Super-UEFIinSecureBoot-Disk to boot unsigned ISOs on SecureBoot-Devices. Using a grub2-solution like glim is sufficient for 99% of my use-cases, so I'm switching away from ventoy. |

@cyrus The functionality in Ventoy is pretty close to one-of-a-kind. You can kind of mimic it with GRUB though. There's also a tool called Glim (https://github.com/thias/glim) that apparently makes setting up GRUB in this fashion easy. I haven't audited the code and can't vouch for its safety, but it might be worth looking at.
