This is the only reason why I still use GUI for making Linux USBs. Can't trust my ADHD ass to write the correct drive name. Also, none of my USB drives have a light.
Popsicle is pretty nice, it doesn't let you choose the internal drives afaik.

Luckily, this problem will disappear soon as we're moving to systems with only nvme drives. Kinda hard to mistake /dev/nvmexny for /dev/sdx.

I'm a cheap ass who mostly gets old hardware, so it'll probably be a while before I get to see the benefits of that.

Well, try not to shred too many SATA SSDs then until you get there 🤡

Are we though? My RPI uses a SD card and is labels it as
sdand the same is true for virtual machines.-
The RPIs are moving to nvme too, though indeed a bit slower than desktop machines. My virtual machines use /dev/vdx, and I don't typically connect USB drives to my virtual machines with the intent to flash them :)
