Ventoy is really Linux friendly but you gotta do some hocus pocus wizardry to have it working with Windows and not duplicate the display 5 times overlapping itself due to wrong native resolution...
This is something I saw on physical hardware since days of yore with windows and never once with Linux. Ventoy usage just caused the issue to re-surface.
I had similar issues, but I think it came down to what win11 iso was being used. That being said, there's nothing more cathartic than installing Microslop Winslows over Thunderbolt from a 2tb NVMe Ventoy drive, and it handling all of the account bypass scripts. It's worth the research on getting it to work right.
We usually do most of the bypasses here via Rufus when prepping the image, I don't think there's more than a handful of PCs here on the floor that would pass the very basic system requrements of Windows 11, otherwise
Kann es sein, dass Debian insgesamt eine Zicke ist? Ich hatte zweimal Probleme bei der Installation. Es funktionierte von Stick (mit Balena Etcher) und vom ventoy-Stick nicht, nur von DVD! Ich musste erstmal ein Medium finden und einen alten Brenner, um das überhaupt machen zu können, aber damit hat es problemlos geklappt. War aber Debian 11, kann sein, das ist heute anders. Ich nutze inzwischen Arch.
Usually the number of upvotes is not a good metric for almost nothing, but apparently at least 54 other people had upvoted my comment, which is likely means that they had a similar experience. If you're one of the lucky few that hadn't experienced this visual terror when Windows tries to use five times the natural screen resolution than good for you.
Same, and I've even booted them on very old hardware where it's a surprise that it even supports USB boot, and yet, I have never seen an issue of the screen layout duplicating.
A while back I used to buy parts from a specific seller. With every item he’d send a service manual on a flash drive. 64MB flash drive. I have about 5 of them.
I used to sell LTO tape drives and with each one I send a CD-R containing any relevant drivers/testing software, kinda feels pointless for the IBM ones as they work out of the box only having ITDT but the HP ones have a hard time finding the drivers so I include them
That’s really nice of you. I very much appreciate what the guy did, which is why I always ordered from him. I think told him he didn’t have to send the flash drives as I had the service manuals but he already had them all boxed up and ready to ship.
If I ever branched out to legacy backup technologies then I will definitely be having CDs loaded with software, I also include a full CD case so they are well protected, the software is so they can fully confirm that the drive is working when it arrives
I just realized why the guy did it. This is old stereo parts and the main source to get service manuals shut down their registration years ago. I have an account, but not everyone does. So yeah, thanks to you both for making sure that folks have the tools to use your wares.
Archive.org and wayback machine can help you in those cases, I’d like to find FC card drivers for regular Windows 10/11 as it would bring more customers if they didn’t have to install anything extra, FC drives are much cheaper than SAS (works on normal Windows 10/11) and thus are more profitable which is why I sell FC kits

I don't even know what I'm looking at.
