Hello and thank you!
#1
I discovered the original 50mb DSL not long after release and thoroughly enjoyed it after installing it onto a Chinese netbook along with others on the little Linux laptop forum. My intention with the new release is to do the same with a retina 2015 MacBook Pro. 
 Bought you a coffee as a thanks for what became a fascinating couple of years squeezing functionality out of something that was probably manufacturer to landfill otherwise.

And have you been successful? - I stuck on my MacBookAir3.1, Intel Core 2 Duo CPU (U940, 1,4GHz).
Ventoy hardware diagnosis tells me:
Code:
Secure Boot: Disabled
UEFI Version: 1.1
I try to install via Ventoy-USB-Stick
I have tried both options:
  • normal mode
  • grub2 mode
The result is the same:
Code:
Not a Secure Boot Platform 14
No bootfile found for UEFI!
Maybe the image does not support x64 UEFI

Correct. Current DSL does not support UEFI boot (but is likely to in the future.

AntiX currently does but check EFI partition details.
