dd vs balenaEtcher
sharmaganesha2 It's command line. That means it does not have garbage inside the program. But it might freak some people out. But Literally, you have Git Bash so you can use DD on Windows. The usage: $ lsblk /dev/sdb 28G /dev/sda 931G $ dd if=popos.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=1M status=progress It's really nice.POX A good command-line alternative that comes with Unix-based operating systems.

USBImager vs balenaEtcher
rescuezilla USBImager is a 300 kilobyte download compared to balenaEtcher's 80+ megabyte. They're both cross-platform (Windows/macOS/Linux). The reason is USBImager is a native app while balenaEtcher is an Electron app. balenaEtcher is still a bit more user-friendly, but USBImager is by far the best cross-platform alternative right now. - Multisystem is an awesome tool created by LiveUSB.info, that works similar to our Windows based MultiBootISOs USB creator, but was created for use within Linux.

SUSE Studio ImageWriter vs balenaEtcher
Ranogard 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.
