I recently tried out Fedora and it deleted my Windows boot files so I had to fuck with the computer for hours trying to troubleshoot… not to mention that almost all Linux tools can’t create a proper bootable USB Windows recovery drive :/
Never had this problem with OpenSUSE or Ubuntu, they behaved properly with dual-boot install. I guess Fedora never again. And what’s with that name anyway? It’s dumb. Fedoras are a meme for a reason.
It’s still needed for some things. I tried to install a Universal Blue based distro with Ventoy and kept getting errors, once I flashed a drive it installed perfectly normally. It’s definitely an edge case though.

Just make a Ventoy USB. Why people still bother flashing disk images to thumb drives is beyond me.

Ventoy is awesome, +1
I guess that’s because it was a community continuation of red hat linux (not the enterprise one)
It is made by Red Hat, and they went with the hat theme. I used a few distributions, and RedHat was one of the worst. I don’t know why it’s popular.
