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.

I recently discovered ventoy and it's so useful. Don't have to flash isos anymore and can have a whole iso library. So useful.

Worth pointing out that while ventoy is open source, iventoy is not. Might be important to some people.

"The open source part of iVentoy" is on GitHub. Perhaps it's not completely open?

That site gives me sketchy vibes. Lol maybe because one of the nav items is just named "Document"

It's probably an issue of English not being the first language, or of translation. It's obviously a link to Documentation, which is a pretty safe assumption when you see a nav item named Document. You could have confirmed this yourself by simply following the link.
