It silently messes with the kernel boot flags which breaks the boot process If you do get it to work it silently adds extra broken repos which make it impossible to install packages.

Why would any distro want to support a tool that intentionally breaks things? Ventoy could just boot ISOs without messing with them and everything would work fine, but the developers insist on injecting garbage.

This is not true.

I use it extensively and have done for more than 4 years now. It adds nothing at all to the installed OS. It doesn't care about the installed OS: I have successfully installed Linux, FreeBSD, Windows, even FreeDOS from Ventoy.
