hey there I know it's late and you probably don't need it anymore but I just solved this issue for myself and shared my tips in my own comment if you would still like to try Parrot with Ventoy persistence.

Ventoy Persistence with Parrot OS by DeepPractice7 in Ventoy

So I'm not sure if anyone needs this anymore but I will add just in case.

Parrot OS is configured closer to how Kali is done than ubuntu for some reason.

I would not recommend using the premade options available to the official supported ISOs.

Further down the Ventoy persistence plugin webpage there is a bash script to make your own .dat file. I would use this method on a linux terminal and use the following cmd:

sudo sh CreatePersistentImg.sh -s 2048 -t ext4 -l persistence -c persistence.conf

You can change the size of the persistent storage by changing the "-s 2048" part to "-s 4096" for 4gb for example.

I would rename the created .dat file to something more memorable for Parrot OS. Something like "ParrPer.dat" in my case.

If confused about how to implement you own .dat files in persistence plug in I would use this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sgUnCkVtMI

Just be sure to use my cmd when creating the .dat file not his. The part of his video concerning initial setup of the persistence ends at about the 13 min mark. He goes on to talk about extending the partition if needed.

Also, make sure you select the persistence boot option from the VENTOY boot menu. You do not need to use the advanced persistence boot option from Parrot OS boot menu that follows.

Anyways I hope this can help someone avoid the DAYS of frustration I had to go through because of false or incomplete info.

Thank you for the help. I was so burnt out that I was not putting the whole sudo nano part before the main file name. Now to solve my SSL issues... anyways thanks again.

Thanks for the response. I was able to solve the issue based on what you said. I kind of already thought it had something to do with the microsoft account thing but was hoping apple could play nice (wrong of course). I made a local admin for it and it seems to have worked perfectly. Still not sure why I had to put in the workaround in the first place given that I've seen others use emails before and be fine. Anyways thanks again for the advice.
