I recently discovered ventoy and it’s so useful. Don’t have to flash isos anymore and can have a whole iso library. So useful.

You’re right, I’m being judgemental about the English stuff… I think Im just especially suspicious of software that is written by people who clearly have the skills to pwn my machine when the software has access to ring0 and is used to boot and install entire oses. It’s a malware gold mine. Even if the project is completely on the level, it’s a high value target for adding malware because of the level of control you get over a machine (just like grub or syslinux of course, I’m mainly thinking about iventoy for that point). Plus as an American I’m definitely automatically more suspicious of software from China :/ not great but it’s true.

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.
