Linux Support
Please support Linux use for IVprep, this is extremely frustrating as you have to go install Windows (requires Windows just to install a Windows live USB, or you have to have a spare drive to use instead.) just to IVprep if you wish to use IVprep despite being unnecessary for 1vyrain, it'd still be nice to have IVprep supported on Linux.
I've been trying to find a clean way to do Linux support, but unfortunately the flash tool is not mine (WinFlash64) and I haven't figured out how to properly create UEFI update capsules.
If someone finds a way to achieve this, I'll gladly support it - it's not for lack of caring or trying. I played around and couldn't find a good solution, sorry. It ofc exists - if someone can reverse the Windows flashing tool this would be trivial, but it's above my personal paygrade and I don't have the time right now.
I don't have a supported thinkpad to check, but would it be possible to use something like hiren's boot cd (https://www.hirensbootcd.org/) or just stock windows iso instead of install windows?
I haven't tested, but in theory as long as the dependencies WinFlash64 expects to be there are there, it should work. Probably worth trying.
It is much easier to just use a tool like geteltorito though, which definitely works.
Ivyprep was unable to detect my thinkpads model when using hirensbootcd, but it was able to flash just fine when passing the appropriate arguments to winflash64 manually.
