Side note: macOS ships with Disk Utility, which as far as I know can do exactly this, relatively easily, so I don’t think you need 3rd-party software.

#22dd is just 79K As simple as sudo dd if=name-of-iso.iso of=/dev/sdb status="progress" https://medium.com/@tbeach/use-unix-dd-command-to-os-bootabl... You're Welcome.
cp name-of-iso.iso /dev/sdbRe: USBImager – A minimal GUI app that can write disk images to USB drives

Actually you can just use cp cp name-of-iso.iso /dev/sdb
pv /dev/sdX
Is a more portable way to do that, as "status=progress" is a GNU modification to dd, as I recall. Of course the most portable is to use one of the POSIX mainstays like cat or cp.Re: USBImager – A minimal GUI app that can write disk images to USB drives

#25YES. This is the replacement open-source GUI USB imager app I have been waiting for. > 500KB vs 210 MB Essentially this is a 99.99999% reduction of disk space and run-time usage with the same functionality which really puts its electron garbage counterpart to infinite shame. There is no contest here. Feel the satisfying moment of removing this 'balenaEtcher' bloatware and replace it with a true, efficient and magnifi…
Not sure why one would choose it, when there are so many options.

#26Related projects I know of (might be useful if someone can point out salient differences): - Rufus: https://rufus.ie/ - UNetbootin: https://unetbootin.github.io/ - Win32 Disk Imager: https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/

usbimager_1.0.4-i686-win-gdi crashes without error and leaves a USB corrupt (works fine again after a format)

Balena means whale, btw. Not sure why one would choose it, when there are so many options.

It was bigger than the .img I wanted to write, and that was a whole distro!
