I’ve had hit and miss with Ventoy. I love it and it’s my goto, but I have a handful of ISOs that it’s effectively just storage for - then I use Balena Etcher, Rufus, Raspberry Pi Imager, or sometimes classic dd to burn it to a smaller USB - but if I had to pick one tool, I’d recommend Raspberry Pi, Rufus, or Balena Etcher to a new user just trying to get the job done.
Ventoy > Rufus
Medicat > just Ventoy also, Medicat fuuuuucks

Is there an alternative yet that doesn’t have weird binary blobs that nobody can verify?
This is new to me, I can’t find a reference. Can you share?
