I think this is one of those "make people smarter" vs. "make tools
smarter" things. It is interesting, utterly complex (because it
mixes technical and social issues), and the "optimum" isn't even
well-defined, and in itself a moving target.
I seem to fit nigh to the "make people smarter" side of the current
situation.
There is a hell of an echo here Tomas, but smarter has not arrived yet,
dumber has the stage.
balenaetcher is purported to be smart enough to write an .iso and make
it bootable. But no surprise, I dl the latest version and run it, select
the iso file and it refuses to proceed to selecting the target device to
write it to. So I'm back to using dd. I even try XFBurn, but get told by
it that burn has not been enabled yet. WTH good is a space wasting file
called XFBurn that has not grown a bun routine in close to a decade?
But each new boot attempt by an armbian img seems to first expand the
filesystem which it then apparently uses to skip the unperformed root
and use pw creations, so every time the card is subsequently booted that
is all skipped, going directly to a user login which has at this point
not yet been created.
So it needs a fresh .img write for everytime the card is inserted in a
bpi-m5. Top that off by bookworm's k3b which now cannot see any file to
burn it to a dvd+rw disk, so I am blocked from creating a bootable dvd.
Color me disgusted.
