#2Very cool, love this. My only hope is that this isn't so successful that they neglect the installer because nobody is using it anymore :-)
For users on another Linux (such as Fedora, Arch, Ubuntu) using USB, this will hopefully be a big improvement. The previous process requiring two USB sticks was a PITA

Etcher [0] is a flashing tool, mostly for USBs and SD cards. It's supposed to make the process of placing an image onto those devices easier, and with less chance of corruption.

Mine's OK:
SHA-256 Fingerprint 85 DB 84 70 D7 41 15 0C 30 A0 02 C9 47 DB D8 E8 E5 F6 13 21 5C BE 30 3A 36 3D AB B5 65 9A 86 83
and the creation/expiration dates are not near today. Either they are mistakenly serving different versions from different load-balancing servers, or there's something wrong with your browser's cert store, or TLS is doing its job and telling you that you're getting MITMed.

Wouldn't that be a good thing? I mean, you'd have a tough time finding a computer for sale in 2019 that even has a CD drive, why care about it so much?
