Etcher is probably the example of what's wrong with modern software

It's quite literally a DD GUI, but it's 40 MB, takes up 300 MB of ram to idle, AND it's botnet.

It's also comfortable. I like it, and I have 300MB available.

Brave

A bad browser even before we consider the adware that comes with it

>>61850789
Don't know what OP referred to, but "dd" is an ancient Unix command line tool for copying files, which is mainly used to make images of drives since each drive is a file in Unix.

OP's pic seems like something like that.
>>
>>61850773
Why would you use it when rufus exists?
Also, Etcher is mainly JS+CSS+HTML, so yeah it's trash.

What do you expect? It's essentially the entire Chromium runtime to display 3 icons, 2 lines, some text and a button.

There's no rufus on linux and macOS and it does the job, that's fine by me.

you're an idiot. macfags demand native apps. go to AppStore and look. non-native apps can't even get approved.

Can't you just do it in the terminal in Linux anyway?

Why would anyone waste time with that when they can open Rufus with 2 clicks and select whatever file they want in a glance without having to memorize their entire directory and file list?

Jesus it wouldn't even be that hard to write a GUI in tkinter for dd. What were they thinking?

Oh, yeah, the shitty modem/router/switch/AP combo shitboxes.
>>
>>61851499
You don't need a GUI to image a dream drive. Back when I did rufus it was a fucking crapshoot whether or not it could boot, but every time I used dd it just werk'd. Thinking that every single fucking action on your computer needs a GUI is the worst Windowsism.

But it's literally not two clicks. With tab completion on most shells and ls you don't need to "memorize their entire directory and file list." You just showed that you are completely unqualified to speak about this, and should fuck off back to >>>/v/.

While you're typing "Rufus zip download" or fumbling around to find the exe, I already typed what I want to do into my launcher and begun copying.

Dumb spic nigger, stay on Windows.

Now try doing that with sudo.
