After using Etcher for a good while I’ve switched to using popsicle. It has the added features of hash checks, flashing multiple devices and, a command line interface.

Gnome disks is my go-to utility for managing all my disk needs – including usb image writing.

This is cool. Didnt know that gnome disks is actually offering this function.
Also Ventoy is very useful for making multiboot flashdrive just by copying multiple iso to the drive.

I just switched to usbimager ( from Etcher) on recommendation from somewhere. It is extremely small and light on resources. For multiboot, I used to use MultiBootUsb. Ventoy is much better for me.

Yes, I’ve had far better, more consistent results with popsicle than I ever did with Etcher (or Rufus on Windows).

I used imagewriter yesterday with KDE minimal and it fails… afterwards I tried dd command and it was successful.
We need some official Manjaro app for that. Dd command can be tricky if you are new in Linux world
have a look at the package “isousb”
This is great, I wasn’t even aware this image writer exists. Thanks for posting this, its much appreciated. 
thank you really liked the instructions specially the part wheree you use the disk-by id for safety reasons
Nice tutorial, thank you. I am trying to get more comfortable with built-in functions like dd rather than installing additional applications to achieve these types of tasks.

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.

does this work with other os as well
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 …
