    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.

    There’s ISO Image Writer for KDE, and GNOME Disks has this functionality bundled into it.

    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? apps.kde.org/isoimagewriter/
