SUSE Studio ImageWriter

Utility for writing raw disk images & hybrid isos to USB keys.
- Etcher requires me to download 57.42 MiB from the Arch repos. Whereas the SUSE ImageWriter only needs 0.11 MiB. This is a factor of 522x! This is because Etcher is incredibly bloated by electron and their ads. Yet, the SUSE ImageWriter does the same thing and managed to create a bootable Manjaro live USB for me. I think Etcher is nothing but ridiculous compared to this. Ranogard • Nov 2019
