Did anyone have a good experience with Balena Etcher? I don’t have a good runs with it, the boot process always failed to detect the files in the USB drive that was formatted by Etcher. BIOS couldn’t detect the partition or anything in that USB. I tried with various Linux distro and Windows ISOs, it just failed to load or not detectable in the booting. Even it couldn’t load a simple Gparted partition.
The only one I found consistent working is Rufus, it always works for me. Gparted, Linux Mint, Ubuntu, various distro and it works great with Windows ISO (even there is a Windows Media Creator). Rufus is only one so far in my experience that handles everything perfectly. Rufus is basically VLC of USB bootable utility, whereas Balena Etcher is Windows Media Player without all of the codecs (the original window version, not the MPC-HC/BE).
