From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Ventoy is a tool to make a USB with multiple ISOs bootable, letting you select which ISO to use on boot. Another newly-created account claims to be the dev's friend and translator and has received no contact from the maintainer.

Read my other reply in this thread you will see why/how CCP oversteps boundaries, and why you don't trust blob code you can't verify

There's an older comment in this thread that details how you could verify those blobs: https://sh.itjust.works/comment/14458323
You very much implied that you shouldn't trust all people of Chinese descent. I personally very much dislike the CCP, as a government I think they cause an immeasurable amount* of harm. However, what you are suggesting is on the same level of racism as the US government locking up all Japanese-Americans in internment camps during WWII.
Seriously, calm down.

Nope just maintainers that I can't verify their identity, not asians in general.

We live in a mixed bag of skin colours here, I have no issue with people...just CCP and their infiltration of their officials into Canada... that are harassing citizens and Permanent residents of chinese descent.
