hi, in the past I’ve got a pretty weird issue while I was getting ready to make a switch: every USB that I tried failed to boot
turns out, the “safer” way to get it out from the PC (the eject function) messed up its file system
it was long ago, but the other day I made another bootable USB and it happened again, I thought it was just a bug that would be eventually fixed it happens both for Linux Live ISOs and Windows Install Media
am I the only one?

Ventoy is even worse. What’s wrong with Rufus if you’re on Windows and the native distro tool on Linux/BSD?
ventoy is great for having multiple isos in one flash drive
Also great for embedding binary blobs that could tamper with isos
