Ventoy has released version 1.1.18, which introduces experimental support for SteamOS recovery images, making it easier for Steam Deck users to fix or reinstall their systems. A key improvement in this release is the cleaner Linux remount feature that allows easier access to the ISO partition from the file-manager sidebar in mainstream Linux distributions, along with a stable partition name to avoid confusion. The update also addresses various bugs, including boot failures in Fedora 45 beta, secure boot checks in Windows/WinPE, and persistence issues in Ubuntu live sessions. Users can download the new version for Windows, Linux, or as a LiveCD ISO, with upgrades preserving existing USB data for a low-risk transition
