Bonus: the app is just an Electron wrapper to their website.
just use dd or Popsicle (popsicle has a native gtk gui) or Ventoy
I stopped using programs like etcher for flashing iso's after i found out you can just run
cp /path/to/your/file/example.iso /dev/[insert device here]For example
sudo cp ./Downloads/archlinux-2023-09-01.iso /dev/sdbI love it because it just works on any linux machine, always. Of course, this is maybe not fit for your usecase.
You can also use dd, tee or even echo, the archwiki has a good section on flashing iso's.
I always love the many little implications of this genius "everything is a file"-architecture. Thank you Ken Thompson.
If you have the iso image, you can write it with the command dd to your stick / sdcard
