Previously it was rather disappointing [1]; has it improved?

I've just tried it with Win10 and Ubuntu 20.04. Both worked out of the box on an UEFI system (no legacy boot) without SecureBoot.

FWIW this is on a cheap laptop with buggy UEFI which gave me some boot problems in the past, so that gives me some hope.

I discovered it a few days ago and used the latest (1.0.19) version to boot the Linux Mint 20 iso and install it to my laptop without problems. Looks like there's also a "Tested ISO" page[0] on the official site.

Yeah and it has a whos-who of hacked and cracked Windows10 'WinPE' / preinstalled environments which I find amusing, like for example:

    Gandalf's-Win10PEx64-19H2.iso
    Gandalf_s_Windows_10PEx64_Redstone_5_build_17763.iso
    Bob.Ombs.Modified.Win10PEx64.v4.8.iso
    WinPE10_8_Sergei_Strelec_x86_x64_2020.06.09_English.iso
