Ventoy still the FOSS you'd recommend?

I was genuinely excited when I first learnt about the Ventoy from a YouTube, then I came to these:

Ventoy source code contains some unknown BLOBs, still no word on the issue from the dev after months https://programming.dev/post/19516543

Ventoy Update https://programming.dev/post/20508826

https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/issues/2795

https://www.reddit.com/r/Ventoy/comments/1flw461/today_i_discovered_ventoy/

so maybe I’ll hold off with Ventoy for now?

    Funny, I’m flashing a new PC as we speak and using dd instead of ventoy for this very reason. I’ve also used Balena Etcher in the past.

        Yeah, well… turns out the USB wasn’t bootable (grub said it couldn’t load the kernel) so I redid it with Balena and it worked fine.

          I noticed yesterday that openSUSE specifically recommends not using Ventoy, due to possible boot issues: https://en.opensuse.org/Create_installation_USB_stick#Ventoy

      Just use cp instead. No reason to use dd.
