Hi.

I,m using the appimage downloaded from Etchers web site. It works without problems. I only made a folder for the appimage, and then I made an shortcut on my desktop. When I launched the shortcut the permissions was set up correctly (and made executable). And everything just works..
Very easy. If only Ether would make the usb stick with fat32. It did not, so I had to revert to Rufus on Windows (shame) for reformatting. When I tried Gparted, It saw my 4gig usb stick as an 16 gig...

But etcher is the best for sd cards

I'm on a laptop with MX 17. I downloaded balenaEtcher & it is refusing to write to the micro SD card (via an adapter)

I can see the card fine in File Manager.

I installed zenity (zenity is in the Repo) because it was suggested that the absence of zenity might cause balenaEtcher to fail.

It still gets all the way to writing the SD card then fails.

EDIT: Loaded balenaEtcher on my MX 19 laptop & it worked fine.
