> Why do you not trust Ventoy?

> Ventoy is a great tool from what I’ve seen online and the use case it fills does save time and resources. However, I have some reservations about it. If I had to compromise a bunch of critical systems over a long time period, then publishing a great tool and having it tamper with your OS installation media silently would be a really good pick. At this time, I don’t trust the developers of the tool enough and I don’t have the time or skills to perform repeated audits of the software every time they release a new version.

...from the addendum to https://ounapuu.ee/posts/2023/02/15/shrinkflation/ (which was itself discussed previously [0]) - I don't have strong opinions of my own but reading this review was enough to put me off installing Ventoy the other day.

If you're not wishing to read its code, it's a good strategy not to use it.
