I'm curious why a GRUB based replacement for ventoy isn't popular? SSDs are ubiquitous/inexpensive.

SSD+USB+GRUB with either a single GRUB partition and multiple ISO files stored in subdirectories, OR one parition per ISO/OS.

Adding new ISOs would require some manual editing of the grub config but wouldn't this be a decent substitute??

Like many people I'm hesitant to use an OS installation tool that has not been thoroughly reviewed to ensure there is no malware in binary blobs.

I'm curious about this too.

Alternatively, does anyone know if you can install Ventoy to a partition on an internal disk? The documentation says it supports booting images stored on local disks, but doesnt say if Ventoy itself can be installed on a partition as opposed to an entire disk.
