@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.
I haven't researched how to make it work with my own key - so I'm careful to delete the key afterwards or to not use the feature at all.

Using a grub2-solution like glim is sufficient for 99% of my use-cases, so I'm switching away from ventoy.
Making wimboot work with glim seems to be possible but experimental.. fortunately I don't need it.
