Garbage technolo-Sup Forums that should never have seen the light of day

Etcher is probably the example of what's wrong with modern software

It's quite literally a DD GUI, but it's 40 MB, takes up 300 MB of ram to idle, AND it's botnet.

>Inb4 Linux
>Inb4 MacOS

It's also comfortable. I like it, and I have 300MB available.

Brave

A bad browser even before we consider the adware that comes with it

The fuck is a DD?

Data destroyer. Are you new?

I don't store my dolphin porn on SD cards, so I don't have a need for it :^)

Don't know what OP referred to, but "dd" is an ancient Unix command line tool for copying files, which is mainly used to make images of drives since each drive is a file in Unix.

OP's pic seems like something like that.

Why would you use it when rufus exists?
Also, Etcher is mainly JS+CSS+HTML, so yeah it's trash.

it's built on top of Electron. Of course it's shit.

>disk image writer written atop a fucking browser engine
this is it, guys.
i have finally seen everything, there is no need for me to continue living.

>40MB program
>to do "cat < image > disk"

What do you expect? It's essentially the entire Chromium runtime to display 3 icons, 2 lines, some text and a button.

There's no rufus on linux and macOS and it does the job, that's fine by me.

This is what Macfags are talking about when they mention a "polished user experience".

macfags use disk utility or unetbootn

Microsoft Windows doesn't have this problem.

Macfags suck their boyfriend's dick and don't even know what those are.

...

cat is even easier:
# cat distro.iso > /dev/sdd

real quality post faggot

go away noob

>Macfags
you're an idiot. macfags demand native apps. go to AppStore and look. non-native apps can't even get approved.

Can't you just do it in the terminal in Linux anyway?

Because they both have dd.

Why would anyone waste time with that when they can open Rufus with 2 clicks and select whatever file they want in a glance without having to memorize their entire directory and file list?

Proprietary file formats
Peer to peer gaming
DRM
Routers

>Routers
Wut

The generic ones from the cable companies
They're cheap slow and undeliverable as hell, everyone uses them and wonder why they have bad connections

Jesus it wouldn't even be that hard to write a GUI in tkinter for dd. What were they thinking?

Oh, yeah, the shitty modem/router/switch/AP combo shitboxes.

You don't need a GUI to image a dream drive. Back when I did rufus it was a fucking crapshoot whether or not it could boot, but every time I used dd it just werk'd. Thinking that every single fucking action on your computer needs a GUI is the worst Windowsism.

...

But it's literally not two clicks. With tab completion on most shells and ls you don't need to "memorize their entire directory and file list." You just showed that you are completely unqualified to speak about this, and should fuck off back to .

Delet dis nephew

>but muh cli shit
this is why no one takes linux seriously

>tab completion

Inferior in every way to a GUI file list. Fuck off retard.

Actually, only tech illiterates don't take Linux seriously.
Get with it.

...

>being this retarded.
While you're typing "Rufus zip download" or fumbling around to find the exe, I already typed what I want to do into my launcher and begun copying.

Dumb spic nigger, stay on Windows.

Now try doing that with sudo.

Reaaaly makes u think huh
