Been using it for a year now and absolutely love it, just drag and drop ISOs to the stick. Even works with Windows ISOs. Couldn’t be easier.

i just did it on a vfat usb and it went fine plus the verification,
how come my USB appears to be empty in Dolphin and says 14GIB free of 14 GIB?
fdisk -l shows the ISO.

Device     Boot   Start     End Sectors  Size Id Type
/dev/sda1  *         64 7469523 7469460  3.6G  0 Empty
/dev/sda2       7469524 7477715    8192    4M ef EFI (FAT-12/16/32)

Edit
after a reboot the USB showed as Manjaro…

You might want to add somewhere between steps 4 and 6 :
“open a terminal and cd to where you downloaded the disc image”

If that is really needed
to try and make it even more fool proof
then that has to be done in between step 1 and 2
… else the checksum verification would not work

paths and path names and orientation, where you are and how to get from there to somewhere else, can be a bit challenging, yes
but go to that level? come on …
