Hi @gilphilbert and welcome to the Manjaro community.

bad super block, wrong fs type, bad option... typically indicates an issue with the filesystem - at face value, it seems that you’re consistently writing bad USB Installers.

You could try writing the ISO to a DVD instead.

Or, consider creating a Ventoy USB;
I would normally give more information here by way of explanation, however, I’m running a little short on time:

1. Install Ventoy:

sudo pacman -S ventoy

2. Obtain a new empty USB drive - minimum 8GB (32GB might be preferable for reasons that will become obvious).

3. Insert the USB drive, and find it’s location in the device tree (/dev/sdXY).

4. This is the command I would use for creating the Ventoy USB:

sudo sh ventoy -i -r 100 -S -g -L VOLUME /dev/sdX
  • Enable -s or disable -S Secure Boot.
  • Substitute VOLUME for a volume label name to use.
  • Substitute /dev/sdX for the location of your USB device.
  • Preserve some space on the target device (example allows 100mb).

5. Download your (full) ISO; verify that the checksum matches; Using the torrent option (if available for your ISO) by it’s very nature might be a better choice if your usual download method is failing.

6. Here’s the part that’s makes this process unique; Copy/Drag the ISO to the Ventoy USB; Now, boot your machine using the Ventoy USB, and select the ISO from the menu that is presented.

That’s it. Good luck.

A little housekeeping…
