[issue]: Remove BLOBs from the source tree · Issue #2795 · ventoy/Ventoy
github.com
What happened? Due to the recent XZ-Utils drama I checked the code and I'm appalled. There are more BLOBS than source code. https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/tree/3f65f0ef03e4aebcd14f233ca808a4f8946...

I had no idea this issue had been identified. While I find this tool very useful, the project is seeming rather questionable to me now.

    Part of the point behind Ventoy is that you don’t need to prepare the USB to be bootable. You can just copy/paste the whole iso into Ventoy and it will be bootable. New release comes out? Just copy it onto your USB drive. Don’t even need to remove the old version of you don’t want to.

    Makes things much easier in the tech world for having a single USB with 50+ bootable tools and installers on there like with MediCat (which uses Ventoy as a base).

    Only thing I’ve had issues with booting from Ventoy is the ProxMox install iso. Everything else has worked first try.
