From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Wasn't there recently a controvetsy about Ventoy having binary blobs? Or did that get resolved?

Reading through the issue on github, if you check the blob directories there are at least some level of documentation on how to build them yourself. I haven’t personally tried (rarely need to use ventoy in the first place), but at least thats something

I have tried--the instructions are woefully inadequate. I tried following them to build Ventoy and had to make numerous modifications just to get the first couple of components to build. At that point I gave up

Thats good feedback, and very unfortunate
