Fuck Etcher.

Manjaro used to have a perfectly good USB image writer utility, but I think it got removed with some update, and for the life of me I can't remember what it was called. I think it was "borrowed" from CentOS or some other distro I've never touched. And now I'm stuck with relying on this Electron crap cause I can't find a decent, simple USB image writer tool.

@alyx i just use dd or if i'm feeling fancy cfdisk :blobcateyes:

EVERY TIME I look up dd, I find examples with a bunch of arguments that I've got no idea what they mean, and I'm never sure what I need to make a bootable usb, so I don't trust myself to not screw up big time. So I prefer a GUI tool that has proved itself reliable in the past.

@icedquinn @alyx I always add status=progress at the end, because with big iso's I get irrationally worried that it's stuck or broken.
