Ventoy

This may be worthy of a Separate thread.
But, as many of us have spelled out the woes of Balena-etcher or sung the praises of Popsicle...
We are a bit... skittish... About etcher apps. However cheap some may say USB sticks are, I don't like the idea of buying them in 100 pack bundles.

How reliable is Ventoy? Does it destroy or damage USB sticks beyond reasonable wear and tear?
I have heard a lot of Good about Ventoy on this forum. I there any bad?

(Yes, saw the reference in Pazoff's post.)

I am going to try out and test Ventoy- as the Multiple images on one stick has Great Appeal.
Thanks for the vote of confidence.

EDIT:
And so I am.
Installing Ventoy was remarkably easy to do.
That was amazing. Now installed and I am typing this from a session of LMDE 4 :smiley:
I also threw a copy of Zorn OS 16 on this Ventoy disk... Just in case. So... I have been using Ventoy for about five minutes now. And I think I am sold. What's the catch?
Thanks Pazoff for your Write-up about it. Without such detail, I may have continued neglecting Ventoy.

This is a good post, but I've never used Ventoy, never even heard of it infact, so I couldn't say. But I do agree that Popsicle is the best that I've used.

What I like best about Popsicle, is that it has never made a bad burn, not once, in multiple burn attempts! I also like Popsicle because it is very light weight, unlike Bresario which is heavy. Popsicle is also awesome because it comes with a built in HASH checker.

And, unlike Unetbootin and Rufus which look a bit too complicated for beginners to use, Popsicle is so easy to use, even a monkey could probably do it! lol Hopefully somebody with EPIC levels of experience using Ventoy will chime in here.

I do not have epic levels but I do have gratitude to Pazoff for the description that made me try Ventoy out. If Unetbootin is an F-14 Tomcat, then Ventoy is the Starship Enterprise.

Ventoy has been the most reliable tool for the job for me. I never got back to any other tool since I don't need the persistent mode anyway.
I just love not having to format any pen drives anymore.

I always seem to have a problem with dual-boot Windows showing the wrong time, wheras ZorinOs is spot on. But that is WinXP SP3, so it may just be tired :sleeping:

This only happens to me when in BST, when we move back to GMT I don't get any time issues in Windows.

Looking forward to trying this later.

Thanks.
