Comments about Ventoy as a Alternative to AIO Boot
pros, cons and recent comments
Guest
Asides missing UEFI 32-bit support for Atom Tablets/Chromebooks - which can be fixed by adding GRUB/BootMGR bootia32.efi manually to boot Windows 8/8.1/32 and almost all Linux-Distributions - Ventoy is the slimmed down "just works" alternative.

If you need the configuration options, still Aio-Boot is the most complete - while hacky - independent Boot-Manager.
