Can this argument just disappear from discourse? People don't always drive around with their partner, dog and 2.5 kids AND groceries AND spare tires AND grandparents.

The majority of people in car-centric areas use their car only to haul around themselves, which could be done with public transport or bikes.

Focus on yourself first. I do have a Ko-Fi, but I don't promote it much.

TLDR: There's binaries instead of source code in the repo, which makes it hard to near-impossible to verify what it's doing. And the instructions for building those is lacking.

Posting this since quite a bit has changed since I last posted about this on !technology@lemmy.world.

Here's a rough breakdown of the current status:

  • shared Ventoy components: build and seem to work, needs more testing
    • grub / menu - builds
    • EDK II apps / UEFI chainloader and more - builds
    • iPXE / BIOS chainloader - builds, with fixes for newer toolchains
    • ISO9660 and UDF drivers - TODO
  • Ventoy CPIO / Linux ramdisk: builds; I deemed musl xzcat unneeded, so I skipped it; needs more testing
  • wimboot / Windows chainloader (?) - stalled, I lack the necessary knowledge to work on it
  • geom-ventoy / FreeBSD disk mapping kernel module - is being worked on, slowly; not ready for testing
  • anything else is a TODO

This should be enough to boot Linux with just what's built manually, but I haven't tried that yet.

Secure Boot is just done by using a pre-built bypass package. I'll deal with that later.

Having more people testing this would be nice. :)

Cheers

Hello. I'm working on Ventoy CPIO, a replacement ramdisks for Ventoy. My goal is to create a sane build system (first for building ramdisks, then for the entire project), and solve the infamous issue of having blobs in the repo.
