Ventoy-1.0.52
I got it to install correctly and I was able to copy some .ISO’s to it all well and good but when I boot into it and select a distro to boot into, all I get is a black screen and I have to reboot my laptop. It seems I have a hardware issue..

there are one or two distro that just don't work with ventoy. Some like Debian buster make it look like there is a problem with a blinking curzor but wait for a minute or ten and it all gets booted eventually.
Did you then go back and select another distro to try ? or its only 9 days old buggy ?

Worked OK for me, Linux version, with Devuan, AntiX, Slitaz, & Fatdog .iso's.
N.B. I had to cut & paste the .iso's into the Ventoy file system; using copy didn't work.
