I was experimenting with Ventoy on my MacBook Pro (a mid-2010 model) to see if it could load an install image or live CD from there. It did boot the Ventoy USB and showed the list of boot images, but none of them would load. I tried this with both a BigSur installer image (that works when written directly to a USB on it's own) as well as a current Fedora 37 ISO image (the Cinnamon spin in this case).
I can understand if this is just unworkable in general, but I had wondered if this has been tried, and perhaps I need to give it different startup/boot options. Not critical, but I thought it would be handy to troubleshoot/repair Intel-based Mac systems with the same boot tool (Apple silicon will be an entirely different issue).
