I haven't specifically had problems w/ Ventoy sticks, but over the years 
of writing .iso/s to USB, I've encountered 'problems' w/ recovering or 
formatting a USB stick.

Rufus does a better job than almost anything else for problems.  It has 
been years since I've had to 'zero' a USB stick.

I'm not 'intimidated' by problems formatting a USB.  Until they die, 
which can also happen.  I doubt that Ventoy can kill a stick.

I saw that fullcircle mag. First, Adam sounds like he doesn't have as 
much experience writing .iso/s to USB as I have; and I didn't agree w/ 
one of his sentences about V' docs "The official documentation is 
complex and confusing,"

But, Adam was way ahead of AuntieE in terms of handling V. who said, "It 
also seems impossible to find out what version of Ventoy I have."  Not 
at all.  It is also very easy to update V.

Adam explained to AuntieE who did NOT make an adequate trouble report 
about the partition situation.  Depending on the formatter, sometimes 
multiple partitions make a USB formatter 'confused' or at least throwing 
up an alert about it.

As Adam said to AuntieE:"It is worth noting that Ventoy leaves the USB 
stick with two partitions, a large storage partition in exFat format, 
and a small (32 MB) EFI boot partition in FAT16 format,"
