Yesterday, July 1st, they announced the Alpha release of this next-generation mod manager and their new Product Manager got in touch to mention they "would be really keen to get feedback from Linux users". So this is your chance to ensure Linux (and Steam Deck) finally become a first-class citizen for game modding.

@w2tpmf ventoy is as easy to set up as any other Boot-Stick-tool and has the great advantage that you can copy as many ISOs on your stick as there is space and you can still use it for other files... imho

I know exactly how it works. I use it every day. I never said it isnt easy. I said it's more steps to set it up.

Rufus: run exe, pick iso, run it

Ventoy: run exe to install it, run it to configure the drive, copy ISOs over to the drive

For setting up a drive that's going to be used repeatedly and continually changing what's on it, Ventoy is the superior tool.

For a one time use to quickly get a ISO over to a USB... Rufus is quicker and gets the job done.

...and again...OP already has Rufus in hand. There's no reason to get another piece of software that doesn't offer any advantage to OP's task.

To prove your point, ventoy seems to come with 3 .exes

@w2tpmf Ventoy is a one time setup. After that you can throw any ISO on it and just reboot...
But you are right and we are on the same boat :mastolove:

I literally just wrote out how it works and you are repeating it back like it's new information 😆
