Ventoy:

From their website:

"Ventoy is an open source tool to create bootable USB drive for ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files.

With ventoy, you don't need to format the disk over and over, you just need to copy the ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files to the USB drive and boot them directly."

Thank you @Logical_Error for the recommendation.❤️

It probably means that there are some additional cars using curl now. libcurl really.

@homebrew_new_pkgs Looks Interesting, will check this out.

Running desktop Linux on this thing is glorious. Installed calibre and dumped my library of ebooks onto it. It works really well. Hats off to the #valve team who are developing /maintaining this system.

Running in lutris, GOG installer with HD mod and HOTA add on.

@w00p Interesting, nice feature. It doesn't work in konsole, I've just tried.

I generally use the -h flag for human readable values. For example, ls -lh

As covered on the latest #latenightlinux podcast. puttydotorg is not at all related to the popular open source terminal emulator, PuTTY, and appears to be run by an individual spouting nonsence (anti-vax conspiracy theories).
