In my experience Ventoy is very inconsistent, sometimes it works flawlessly with a half-dead flash drive. Sometimes it’s won’t work with a fresh bought one, until you reinstall it 50 times again and only when you drop ISO when stars are aligned in a right position.

@Matvey_Mochalov, agreed, good when it works, but inconsistent.

I had just replaced the battery in the Lenovo e580 a couple days ago, and today we had 2 electricity shutdown because of a bad car accident on a road near home. And the program worked superbly 
The last part was edited with VIM to 40-80 % for longevity of the new battery. Love it!

I actually had an issue with it on an ASUS ROG motherboard installing Windows 11. Linux worked fine, but Windows had issues. Eventually used Rufus for that.

Last times when I tried to install win10 it’s wouldn’t properly install unless ISO was burned with a windows media creation tool.
Which is sadly won’t work under wine and needs a real windows machine or VM.
It doesn’t have to be made with the windows media creation tool. You do, however, need a tool capable of properly creating a bootable windows device. There are a couple of these available for Linux such as woeusb. You can also use Ventoy for this.
I know, and sometimes it’s worked with them or Ventoy.
But about last ~10 times I ended up with windows media creation tool
I firmly believe that its easier to learn brain surgery or become a rocket scientist than understand regex.
maybe one day I will be able to write a regex without googling and a hundred tries.

I discovered cylon
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cylon
because I wanted to stop using the ddosing and sometimes breaking pamac.
It works very well, not only for installing and updating packages, also for maintaining the whole system. And it is more terminal-centric. The spirit of EndeavourOS.

this looks very useful, thanks.
I’ve found another similar app - https://github.com/excalibur1234/pacui
I also use TUI for yay/pacman, its so much nicer -

Yes, they look very similar. 
I’ll try them out too.
Another app I found and I extensively use is
Sleek
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sleek
It’s a todo manager based on todo.txt.
The sytax of todo.txt is much simpler than in any other todo manager I know. The files are human readable because they are stored in plain text. The content can be edited and searched with every texteditor.
Here you can see examples of the syntax:
https://github.com/todotxt/todo.txt
Some editors offer plugins for todo.txt, for example VSCodium or Emacs. I know, Emacs also offers ORG-Mode which is more powerful, but then you are bound to Emacs.
With todo.txt you’re not bound to a special program. Sleek only gives you more comfort and some eyecandy.
On my android device I use Markor (open source) or the Todo.txt (proprietary) app by the way.

I had no idea there was a format for todo’s
I’m the laziest person in the world. I’d make a todo list and keep adding things and never get them done.
Do you know the joke about the guy who goes and buys a book ‘how to stop being lazy and organize your life’ then goes home to put it on his bookshelf, and finds a copy of the same book there. I’m that guy
This will set “p” as an alias to “pacui” within your terminal (after a restart of your shell or computer). For example, you can now update your system using
p u
Good branding.
I have not used it yet. Found it on gnulinux.ch and found it worth sharing
