How about contacting Nipogi and asking them? >>>

Thanks, but's more complex what I wanted to:
With Ventoy live distros work perfectly well. Of course, some distros might not work with it. But it is the most convenient to just copy and paste new ISOs and make space by removing others again. Rufus or Unetbootin also have the limitation not working with some distros. But one also has to reformat each time one wants to try further distros.
Since my two installs with Magaia - the only till now working out box live - 2 installations on different USB drives, failed again. Each for a completely different reasons, therefore it seems what is seen in a live distro to work, might just fail as an installation again.
Therefore, I tried what seems now impossible: prepare my only and large USB3 stick with many partitions, so I can find one that installs well - and where the first experiment with live might not have given any indications for - as well as having Ventoy on the same stick, to test further live distros, and eventually try the install.
So probably should rather have asked Ventoy, if and how that would be possible.
Sadly, a second Mageia install fail. I realize when I want the Linux on the internal drive, I might have to do it there, to see how it actually turns out.
However, I'm not willing to sacrifice my perfectly running out of the box Windows11 partition for testing it there - totally capable out of the box for what I use a computer for, without signing up anything Microsoft for.
Additionally, the two Megaia installs on SD and USB took with actualization 8 hours, and 4 without. So maybe in average 12 hours for just 2 distros installation trials? - when repeatedly failing - is just too much wasted time I don't have, to proceed this way.
So now I completely drop my attempt to test installed Linuxes, but will try to run it only live, if possible with persisting settings.
