Void is kinda what gentoo was originally. I will never stop giving them shit over loosing control of their infrastructure cause the team lead just DFE'd (after having a nervous breakdown one day while being shitfaced drunk), and loosing their original domain by letting it lapse. Mainly because it was way too funny to be true.
Usecase for working system?
Linux and FOSS would be better and healthier if they had removed every individual who either signed or supported the petition to get rid of Stallmann and Torvald from their respective positions.
You use dd. BE VERY CAREFUL. We don't unofficially call it disk destroyer for nothing. I've never seen cp working for making a boot ISO but I guess some iso files it will work, maybe? You could also install ventoy to the USB if you want to just cp many iso files on there and get to choose from them at boot time, works most of the time but some systems don't like it so beware of that. I am used to needing root/sudo to interact with block devices so not sure who said you don't need it?
sudo dd if=/path/to/your.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M status=progress && sync
sudo sh -c 'cat $ISO_FILE > /dev/$TARGET_DRIVE'when i googled it i saw DD but was looking around for other options as well because of the disc destroyer thing.
I just checked. That shit does work. Although it needed sudo. Guess I was just a retard when I got started using Linux, probably tried to always copy to the partition like sda1 and everyone always said to use dd instead. Nice.
I'm not sure I've ever seen a device end up as owned by plugdev, maybe a thing on one of those 37 Linux OSes I don't use. But dd and cp and everything else does basically the same thing. dd just gives you more information and control. Always remember the "sync" before unplugging if using cp or dd or cat or..... Also, for the truly paranoid you can also use "eject /dev/sdX" to make sure everything is flushed to the drive.
glad my retarded ass could open you up to new possibilities
Bazzite is downstream from Fedora. Whatever brain parasite Fedora suffers from is going to affect your user experience. Fedora's thing is making you a beta tester for the latest Red Hat bullshit, so this is par for the course.Bazzite's July 2025 update (archived) replaced KDE Discover with Bazaar (archived), a GNOME/GTK4 Flatpak app store that had its first pre-release two weeks ago.

To say the software is premature is an understatement: among many issues, there's no way to filter searches by category, no Permissions section, not even an Updates tab! But it has a Downloads chart

Some people (archived) are pissed at Ublue's "break it, update it!" method (they did it with Bluefin too), switching apps and uninstalling old ones they were used to. I'm pretty pissed too. If this keeps up, I'm switching distros. I don't need a wannabe Microsoft doing shit like this.
USB drives, much like the drives your computer uses for storage, are located in /dev/ as /dev/sd*. The disk destroyer part of dd comes from people accidentally putting the wrong sd* part when using the tool, losing all your shit is just one letter away.
, so carefully read through what 
lsblk tells you.
BalenaEtcher is the easier one if you don't have mintiso or mintusb or whatever it's called
this sounds interesting. ive managed to get it working just with kernel commands but with ventoy i could have my endeavouros live usb and other installers on one drive.
Ventoy is great. As I mentioned above you'll sometimes get the odd system that doesn't like it and refuses to boot media from it but the advantage of just slinging 5 isos on there and forgetting about it far outweigh that one rare issue.
They share devs with the Alpine folks, and it is more or less the same. Thankfully, I don't have to interact with them to use their software.
Sometimes it is better to use dmesg because lsblk won't pick up slower drives at times
cp works. dd works. Also cat works and you can pipe that through pv to get a progress bar.
Kernel commands?
