If I fail to properly format this post, it can also be seen on Linux Mint forums:
https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.p...6&t=325131
I think I went astray following someone's mistakes on another website. I deleted that link.
Now, I am at a loss after playing with this off and on, for about 2 weeks.
Ventoy Installs and Boots fine, whether the Partition Table is msdos or GPT.
I finally found the -g option and it is now on a GPT Partition Table, Formatted as ext4.
I am at a loss after trying different things, including reinstalling a couple of times.
No Persistence option in the menu.
No Persistence in settings on re-boot.

Thank you for this great tool! Everything works fine - except peristence.
I've got persistence for these distribution
UBUNTU 20.04
KDE neon 20200702
Using the same setup-principles persistence fails (F5-test reports SUCCESS / OK for all) for
kUBUNTU 20.04
MANJARO 2003
My question: Is there any chance to find out in advance, if a distribution should work with persistence using ventoy?
Would it be possible, to add a column "Persistence" to the ISO-list, with label (e.g. "casper-rw" OR "MX-Persist") if working or "NO" if persistence not possible?

This utility has an Extremely attractive usefulness where I can boot this Boot Manager which presents ISOs it finds to user for selection. I have many questions for which the website is not geared for my ability to find answers.
So let me start by asking 3
- Question #1: Does it matter if I use the Windows version created by Rufus or the Linux version to make the bootable USB?
- I currently have created a folder on the 1st partition named "boot-isos" and placed my preferred ISOs within the folder for selection. This works as at boot time, I see the ISOs Ventoy found withing the "boot-isos" folder. Question #2: If I want to move this folder to my main system HDD, what must be done so that Ventoy will find the ISOs there?
- One of my PCs is a modern 2016 vintage all in one PC. In its UEFI, Secure Boot is disabled. At boot-time, via the PC's boot device selector, I can boot the USB via the UEFI section or the Legacy section. But, for several of the ISOs, selecting and booting them gives VERY different results. Question #3: Is this something to do with Ventoy being booted from UEFI/Legacy OR is this something to do with the ISO itself?
These question may have been already addressed, but I am new and guidance is requested, please.
