OpenSUSE Kalpa
> You claimed "Ventoy adds repos". It does not. It is incapable of doing anything of the kind. It does not run on the installed system. It does not modify the boot media in any way. This is demonstrable and verifiable.
It literally adds an rdinit to the kernel boot line that hijacks the boot process and messes with it in a shell script. This is demonstrable and verifiable: https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/blob/master/IMG/cpio/ventoy...

Show HN: Witr – Explain why a process is running on your Linux system
Sometimes LLMs will give a "why not..." or just mention something related, that's how I found out about https://recoll.org/ and https://www.ventoy.net/ But people should probably more often explicitly prompt them to suggest alternatives before diving in to produce something new...

Tools for Linux Distro Hoppers
Ventoy is an open-source tool to create a bootable USB drive for ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files. Using Ventoy, we can create live USB for multiple distros in one flash disk. This is a revolutionary feature compared to other tools, e.g., Etcher, Rufus, etc, that can only create one live USB at a time. This tool is so important. Don't call yourself a distro hopper if you don't know this tool.

Best way to get files off corrupted/inaccessible drive?
Linux on a USB large enough to hold your files. Linux does not care what OS made the file. You mat be able to Boot from the USB. Access the BIOS and try it. UNetbootin can also be used to load various system utilities. https://unetbootin.github.io/

Install Fedora 38 without any USB or CD.
I think UNetbootin could create a bootable installer directly from your current drive.

Shifting From Ubuntu
You want to test out? Get a live image. You can put it on a bootable flash drive, too (e.g., unetbootin). Changes to the computer then require your explicit consent. (If the Ubuntu partition is encrypted, you might not access the data from an other Linux except with the credentials, though.)
