I’ve been trying to find a linux programming similar to Rufus to flash images of OSes on a thumb drive.

Nothing from the listicles on the internet or the programs in flatpak have worked for me as well as Rufus on Windows.

What have you used that’s worked well? Or, could I run Rufus on my linux machine with WINE?

    /dev/sdX is a file, and both dd, cat can read files in full. You can even try something like zstd to compress it too.

    One of the nice things about dd though is you can see the progress with --status=progress
