That will not work.

There are instructions -inside- the ArcaOS ISO that explains how to make
a bootable USB stick from Windows, Linux, and OS/2.  I've done it under
Win11 and Devuan Linux.  Never had an issue with the creation of the
boot stick.

It requires a unique boot environment and ArcaOS must be on its own USB
stick.  It does not work in the way Ventoy expects.  I have a 128GB USB
stick with Ventoy with a modified Win11 ISO and ISOs for FreeDOS, Devuan
Linux, and FreeBSD on it and it works great.

I'm using ArcaOS 5.0.8 now and hoping to upgrade to 5.1 soon.

Again, all the information is available for you inside the Arca ISO and,
like Daniel pointed out, on the ArcaOS wiki.

A word of caution: Arca Noae recommends to not install ArcaOS on newer
Dell computers and absolutely do not attempt to put on Acer computers.
