Those instructions are similar to most distros but other distros are usable with Ventoy. Yeah, follow the official instructions and all that but a big DON'T USE VENTOY would be nice. It seems to work until it gets to initramfs, where it hangs until it dies an you go back the the Lenovo BIOS. Or UEFI, I guess, to be accurate. I did learn something useful. The iso was on the Ubuntu box. From past experience the 'Startup Disk Creator' only works to create a Ubuntu stick. However if you right click on the iso in the file manager and select 'Open File' there is a 'Disk Image Writer' that works. After it writes the image it shows a UEFI partition. That may be from the Ubuntu app. In the past I've used Rufus on Windows and iirc there is a selection box for UEFI. No big deal. In the past I'd tried to set up Balena Etcher on Ubuntu and that was a failure. I forget the details but it didn't fly. Interesting discussion with many recommendations for Ventoy. Considering that the LLMs mined Reddit Claude might recommend Ventoy to create a bootable SUSE iso. That's what I noticed yesterday searching the forums. A lot of recommendations are no longer applicable, even though the discussions were from 2023. I assume all that has been harvested by the LLMs and may be spewed forth.
