Project information: Ventoy is an open source tool to create bootable USB drive for ISO files.
With ventoy, you don’t need to format the disk over and over, you just need to copy the iso file to the USB drive and boot it.
You can copy many iso files at a time and ventoy will give you a boot menu to select them.
Both Legacy BIOS and UEFI are supported in the same way. 200+ ISO files are tested.
A “Ventoy Compatible” concept is introduced by ventoy, which can help to support any ISO file.

I have managed to port this app to Flatpak using UDisks2 as a backend (since a flatpak app can’t have root privileges). It works on x86_64 with gtk3 gui. We should decide whether to make a pull request to upstream or make a submission request from my fork (https://github.com/LorenzoIanotto/VentoyUDisks.git).

I’m new to all this Linux Atomic/Flatpak Github stuff.
What are the pros and cons of either approach? Is a pull request upstream preferred as it ensure the flatpak self updates with the master? vs your submitting your fork would require you to update as the master updates?
Also thank you for porting this! I just switched to Bazzite and found the need to get an ISO on to a new flash drive with some other images and Linux Mint but quickly found out I can’t just install Linux apps following older/common ways that are listed 
Porting to Flatpak upstream would be easier to maintain but it would require more dependencies to compile. Also atm I have not tried to compile the GUI on arm and MIPS. I suspect the developers prefer a zero dependencies approach which is not compatible with flatpak because it needs root privileges.
