I really don’t get why I should use anything else than dd
Fear?
Not everyone likes to use commands for something as trivial as this, its nice to press a couple buttons and wait for it to be done vs learning how dd works and what arguments to use etc.
Not everyone likes to install compicated graphical software which does a thousand and one things it shouldn’t do just to copy files to an external drive
four programs to make Linux boot media
Or you can use one Ventoy to make a boot media with four Linux ISOs.
wow, really wow.
i saw veronica talk about ventoy weirdos on mastodon, and here you are.
Ventoy weirdos? Ventoy is just a solid and convenient program to create live usbs. What’s the problem with it?
because this video is a beginners guide and ventoy is irrelevant for that topic, yet here you are still talking about it.
Also, Ventoy doesn’t work on all hardware. Meanwhile, the typical options work just fine.
Works for me on Lenovo ThinkCentre M720q’s I’ve sniped used & stacked.
Although I gotta force text mode in Ventoy menu options, otherwise some distro ISO’s boot into scrambled graphics, suppose I should bother to RTFM sometime.
I’ve yet to try Ventoy on an external NVMe case I pieced together recently, and on my wife’s newer laptop.
I don’t mean to be rude, but great? Didn’t work for me on all my hardware, even using a Windows ISO. I pointed out my personal experience, because it’s not the panacea its proponents would have everyone believe.
I would certainly never use it to install anything, after my experiences with it. If it can’t get opening ISOs right, I don’t need a surprise that my install is fucked up.
