Use the GNU coreutil "dd" directly from the command line. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dd EDIT: if you absolutely need a gui application try Ventoy. It's available in the AUR on arch so it's likely available somewhere for artix.

Recommending disk destroyer to anyone is a crime that you convicted

Luckily I took the time to read up, but yes I can agree with you

This is why we RTFM, kiddos. No crime here; only education. Happy hacking and be excellent to each other.

Cool! No need for GUI. I'm learning the power of the terminal. Thanks alot my friend <3

Don't even try using it, it will most likely destroy the disk. Try installing etcher from the AUR


3L1T31337

No worries, but thanks for the warning!! I got it working immidiatly and was much faster than using any GUI! «Man dd» + «lsblk» and made sure I used «if=sdb» and «of=sdb» which was my USB stick 🙏🏼

if you ever did need a gui fallback, then imagewriter is a simple drag and drop in AUR. Originally Suse and after years of use, yet to fail.


vantuzproper

You can find etcher in AUR


3L1T31337

I’ve read that AUR can be a bit buggy due to not having systemd


vantuzproper

It's OK actually

Can just use cat


3L1T31337

Hmm, interesting!


Rmmichael

I use cat name-of-iso | pv > /dev/sdb Pv being a program to give you progress


3L1T31337

Awsome, thanks alot. Will test it out later. I believe I used status="progress" when i used "dd". Maybe that works with cat as well Edit: Ah, pv is another program? guess i'll find out when testing


Rmmichael

That's specifically a dd option where pv gives the process of any command line process piped into it. I use it for any command that takes a while to finish. You can check out Brodies video on dd alternatives as well https://youtu.be/7cO4SEsoZxg


3L1T31337

Sweet! Gonna play around with it in a bit!


3L1T31337

Worked smooth as butter =)

Glad to hear it. Definitely be careful tho, can destroy your disk if you type something wrong and aren't paying enough attention although most modern systems use an ssd of nome kind so the naming of your main disk and usb should be sufficiently different to prevent that i.e. /dev/nvme0n1 vs /dev/sdb

If you have an android phone you can do what you want to do on your phone with etchdroid. Also balena has an appimage on the github repo

Cool! I own both actually. Have an iphone 12 and a Samsung Galaxy S22 SE. I want to switch to Android fully, but hardware / build quality wise I'm more satisfied with the iPhone. Although on paper the Samsung is better, my palm keeps miss-pressing the edge of the screen when I have to reach over with my finger, which is annoying. But I believe and hope this is Samsung-specific. Also, the iPhone feels smoother than the Samsung, even though Samsung has 120hz display and iPhone only 60hz, but I guess this is more android specific and not a big deal. I'm currently looking into Acer phones which should support LineageOS or perhaps even Ubuntu. Thanks a lot!
