Comparing iPXE Manager to iVentoy is a bit like comparing apples to oranges — they target different goals.

iVentoy boots ISOs as-is. It's easy to use, but for Windows, it only gets you to the WinPE environment. It cannot perform a real network installation.

iPXE Manager runs Windows Setup over WebDAV as a genuine network installation — completed entirely over the network, without USB or DVD. iVentoy cannot do this.

On the Linux side, both tools offer similar distro support. On the Windows side, nothing else in the free/open category does what iPXE Manager does.

Being "Windows only" is not a limitation — the target audience is system administrators working in Windows environments. If you need a PXE server running on Linux, you would naturally look at different tools for that.

v2 was also released.


Just a correction:
For Windows, iVentoy will mount the remote ISO file as a local Y: driver through httpdisk, and take user's  unattend XML script (if provided) to do a fully auto unattened network installation.
