From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I like Ventoy, it's handy but I don't think it's indispensable so probably what I'll do is go back to using Etcher (which is open source AFAIK) until this resolves itself one way or another. I assume either the dev will respond properly with an explanation and everything will be fine, or someone will get fed up enough to fork it. I feel like it's probably nothing nefarious, but it doesn't really hurt to be overly cautious in this case IMO.
Ventoy's "killer feature" is the ability to have multiple ISOs in a single drive, can Etcher do that? If so I'll switch, if not why not just use dd?
dd can do that?
It's deja vu all over again 😹
So can grub. Actually ventoy is built on grub
