Why doesnt everyone switch from Windows???
It's a joke. Nobody switching to Linux would organically encounter dd. There's like a million friendlier alternatives for everything it does.
(I swear to God if someone replies to me with 1 niche use case of dd that there's no alternative to, I'm gonna kick a dog into the sun)
I assume Steve was also making a joke. But who knows, in this topsy-turvy world?
Oh, he's also Steve. lol I was extremely confused by this reply.
What's the alternative? On Windows I use Rufus usually.
I believe Balena Etcher is on Linux, and someone else in the thread mentioned something called Popsicle.
I always use dd though. Only borked my system once, and I blame that more on the liquor
Don't drink and ddrive
If you made it this far into linux, you already know why you had to switch
