From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It didn't end. Fuck Ventoy, I'll use something else
What do you use in its place?
GLIM is an option that is a little harder to use but has the ability to load up multiple ISO's, and it is fully open source.

Last commit was over a year ago :|
Presuming the software is working ans secure, is the time that passed since the last commit importang?
I also check the open issues when I judge a repo, and there's only 22, with nearly all of them being feature requests and not bug reports. Also, the majority were opened by the repo owner, and they're checklist items for future functionality (like making less common ISO's work).
It could be that it's abandoned, or it could be that the maintainer just doesn't have the time or drive to include edge cases like "NixOS" and "Fedora 37 clones" right now.
