Oooh... that's sad to hear! It sounded like such a promising project! I'd love to understand better which issues you have found. It's always good to document those publicly for the community, especially if the authors seem to be hostile. I have at least one friend using Ventoy and he has not suspected anything fishy by just looking at the website, which *does* make claims about being "open source"... Is this upstream issue the best one to read more about this? It seems to match what you're saying here... https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/issues/3224 a. -- Hard times are coming when we will be wanting the voices of writers who can see alternatives to how we live now and can see through our fear-stricken society and its obsessive technologies to other ways of being, and even imagine some real grounds for hope. We will need writers who can remember freedom. Poets, visionaries—the realists of a larger reality. - Ursula Le Guin
