Ventoy ISO - An idea for LongPanda
#1
The Ventoy ISO is created with one specific mission: Create/Update a Ventoy USB. It offers no other services. They work, although, it does need improvements that would be provided by ANY modern Window manager. In fact, excepting for the most die-hearts, EVERYONE understands use of a desktop window manager from Windows users, to noobs, to die-hearts...everyone. And EVERY window manager offers some basic services such as logout, reboot, shutdown, etc.

Having tested and used the Ventoy ISO I wonder if its author will consider a couple suggestions or ideas that would improve, at a glance, use that would work with everyone, yet yield the very things the authors wants a user to meet for USB creation:

  1. An example of one idea is for the Ventoy ISO author to review the RescueZilla ISO. Like Ventoy, it, too, is purpose-built and it offers much/most in its user interface that would meet what the Ventoy ISO author would want for Ventoy users. (THIS IS NOT a request to use Rescuezilla, merely it offers an example of a "user look" for Ventoy's ISO) There are many other ISO examples which are purpose-built that might be favorable to creates support screens which would be similar to what is used in Ventoy's Microsoft UI.
  2. Another purpose-built example is the GParted ISO (there are several other purpose-built example ISOs on the internet)
  3. Another idea is a Linux window manager that has a built-in means for the kind of screen UI that would match the UI used by Ventoy under Microsoft's desktop. These window managers, all, possess the capability for shutdown/restart that Ventoy would not need to bother itself with.
Again, these are ideas that would exceed what is current in Ventoy's ISO. As it stands today, NONE Of the 3 means (Windows app, Linux app, or Ventoy ISO) for Ventoy building of its USBs match in either appearance or implementation. If users saw the same thing across all products, Ventoy builders would have less work while user use would benefit, as well.

The ideas presented here is offered as ideas to provide a consistent interface across all of the Ventoy build methods, where possible.

FYI
Smile Happy to learn how to ...
