A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
Some Rules
- Posting a link to a website containing tracking isn't great, if contents of the website are behind a paywall maybe copy them into the post
- Don't promote proprietary software
- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience
- Be nice :)

๐๐ seems like dd commands and gnome's MultiWriter might be the only ways to flash stuff on linux
Fedora Writer is another one (also works on Windows and maybe Mac), and there's also GLIM for multiboot, similar to Ventoy.
There's also Popsicle which is made by the folks over at System76.
Gonna look into GLIM
The linked article lists Raspberry Pi Imager as an option for writing Tails from macOS, and that is also available on Linux and Windows.

Though the site only shows how to install on Ubuntu, the GitHub repo for the tool does have an AppImage that should work on any distro.
