I use dd for writing images to USB sticks.

Re: What is Etcher Software?
I use usbimager. Much less...sketchy than BalenaEtcher, and no electron to deal with. I used to use dd, but I kinda like having a pretty gui.

I find gnome-disk-utility in the standard repos provides a nice gui for writing images to usb

Re: What is Etcher Software?
With dd the bs switch can make a big difference for the writing speed
See /sys/block/mmcblk0/device/preferred_erase_size it's probably 4M
