Old question: What’s the bestest ISO image creator thingamajig? I remember I liked the SuSE one but forgot the name. Etcher takes forever to install and … well, what’s y’all’s fave?

dd if you are okay with using terminal popsicle-git Gnome Multi Writer Ventoy (This is not exactly an image writer. It lets you keep multiple iso on your pen drive and boot whichever you like)

Frankly, the whole concept of Balena Etcher is utterly absurd to me. It’s a program that writes image files to drives. That’s all it does. That is its main, and only, purpose: to write image files to drives. The size of that simple, single purpose program, however, is 223.5 MiB (at least the version in Manjaro repos). 223.5 MiB! dd does exactly the same thing, plus much more. The size of dd is 75 KiB, and that’s dd from the GNU Utils, i.e. one of the most bloated versions of dd i…
