One thing holding me back from moving to Linux is Directory Opus. It's not on Linux but it's the best file browser I've ever seen, and I can't live without.
What feature from Directory Opus is unavailable in Linux? I assume you can find a plugin or something to make Dolphin (the default file explorer for KDE Plasma, but you should be able to install it pretty much anywhere) do just about anything you need.
I love the folder tree with dual folder content screens with tabs. It also works flawlessly with ftp and network drives. It's own copy/move-paste system is also great. I love how you're able to change loads of settings, including all colors. Also the bulk renaming files function is amazing.

Like on the Amiga?
Ventoy > Rufus
I thought Ventoy was stupid and pointless until I actually tried it. Holy shit. Past me is an idiot. What a great tool.
How does this compare to E2B? Sounds interesting
Is there an alternative yet that doesn't have weird binary blobs that nobody can verify?
This is new to me, I can't find a reference. Can you share?
While Ventoy is technically open source so the code can be verified, the source also contains a number of binary blobs. As these blobs are already compiled, there is no way to verify what they actually do. Ostensibly, these blobs are just drivers and whatnot that are taken from the official upstream sources and are used by Ventoy for good reason to install things. But because they are already compiled blobs, no one is able to actually verify that. It is possible that they can also do something else nefarious, like secretly install some hidden spyware in your new OS that you are installing using Ventoy.

ELI5: Imagine you like a particular restaurant because they post the ingredients list on their menu. That way, you can tell if a dish fits your dietary requirements. But you notice that while one of their salads lists ingredients that make sense like "ICEBERG LETTUCE" and "CHERRY TOMATO", one of that salad's other ingredients is just "CANNED FOOD PRODUCT". Well, that is incredibly vague and not all that helpful. You can't really tell what that ingredient is or if it is something you are allergic to. For most people, in most situations, it is entirely fine. They can probably eat the salad with no problem. But some people would rather not risk the potential problems that come from not knowing for sure.
It was also strange that after this issue was brought up about Ventoy, it took quite a long time for the developer to actually respond. I believe they eventually came up with a good idea for a solution (using GitHub build actions or whatever to build the blobs from source), but mentioned that will be a big effort to actually switch to. So, they have not actually done that yet. I believe the unverified blobs are still in place in the source right now.
I've tried using GH Actions before to build binaries from source and it's difficult AF. It seems like using something like Nix could make this more doable.
This is the alert in Nixpkgs:
Interesting. Worrying, even.

This doesn't make sense at all. Generally they go hand in hand.
They don't go hand in hand if you have only one hand

Defenestration utilities are essential.
They must have liked the joke so much they made it even more important for Windows 11.
In 2nd place, I’d put balenaEtcher.
Bloody hell! I had no idea.
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.
If only Rufus would work on Linux
Fedora writer also works fine for basic flashing

Shhh! They might stop people installing it! 😱
Thankfully it comes as a complete portable. Really great app.
careful, they might pull an android and somehow try and stop "sideloading" in windows
Ballsy move, bet the stock price would go up. They should try it.
They don't got the guts yeah I said it
