In 2nd place, I’d put balenaEtcher.

God damn, they harvest IP records, which iso image of tails, AND the make/model of the USB drive‽
Yeah, I always thought it was suspect because of the balenaCloud ad. Why do people even use this? Why did it get popular? Did paid balenaEtcher shills make it go viral or something?
I think it was just an aesthetically pleasing and simple program to flash things.
More people are drawn to the simple option.
Bloody hell! I had no idea.
If only Rufus would work on Linux
Just use dd
But but...terminal scary 🥺
Or pv
Just use ed
Just use M-x M-butterfly
Use Ventoy.
I second this. Its so neat having an OS collection usb stick for distro hopping <3
Fedora writer also works fine for basic flashing
Rather, is there something wrong with KDE ISO Image Writer's v1.0.0 Windows VERSION, even if it is 3 years old by now? https://apps.kde.org/isoimagewriter/
There's ISO Image Writer for KDE, and GNOME Disks has this functionality bundled into it.
dd works for most Linux ISOs
