ISOs Explained + four programs to make Linux boot media https://tinkerbetter.tube/videos/watch/3839fbf0-5ece-4847-a46f-872661036657 Linux boot media need not be tricky! In today's episode, I'll talk about four ways to flash an ISO from Windows (and other systems too). I know a lot of you are switching to Linux because of Microsoft's recent... ideas? I'll call them "ideas". So, here we'll talk about the following ways to flash ISOs: BalenaEtcher: https://etcher.balena.io/, Raspberry Pi Imager: https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/, Fedora Media Writer (you can just download this when you go to download Fedora, but here's the GitHub): https://github.com/FedoraQt/MediaWriter, Rufus: https://rufus.ie/, And I referenced the following four reasonably-beginner-friendly distros (in no particular order): Linux Mint: https://linuxmint.com/, Ubuntu: https://ubuntu.com, Fedora: https://fedoraproject.org/, Pop!_OS: https://pop.system76.com/, And here's the ISO standard in case you're curious: https://ecma-international.org/publications-and-standards/standards/ecma-119/ Lastly, want to support my channel and help me get these videos out faster?

It's better than Rufus.

I may be not up to date but one can dig in the issue tracker https://github.com/balena-io/etcher/issues/2766

My sincere admiration for you!

I liked to use it because it has a portable version and doesn't needed to be installed. Plus it was the perfect tool to have always on one of my USB drives that was always in my bag, just in case if I needed to flesh any installation media.

I wish it was as stable as it is now when I first became Fedora-curious. πŸ˜‚

All the others shown are also amazing. It's wonderful that there are more options over the last 10 years since I started dabbling in UNIX. 😁
