Is there any image burner and USB thumb formatter you would recommend me? obviously libre and for Linux. I’ve tried a couple from my distro’s store but they don’t work on my thumb or they are broken or outdated.

dd?
What?
it’s commonly used utility
burning an os image to a usb is as simple as
sudo dd if=/path/to/input.iso of=/dev/? status=progresswhere
/path/to/input.isois a full path to the location of the os image, and/dev/?is the usb device you’re writing to (you can find it using thelsblkcommand, andstatus=progressis to just see the progress barbe careful tho, if you enter a wrong drive in the destination, you can erase your os or whatever there is, which is why the utility is sometimes called disk destroyer :)
0h, okay, i forgot t0 say that i would prefer something with a gui since im pretty much a noob using the cli, can i format a usb to use it back a normal one with that, too? cos i have a really big one which hasnt been used for some time because of that
yes, you can format it using dd, but you’d have to manually partition it and install the file system etc
may i then recommend balena etcher for burning os images, it has a nice gui, worked perfectly every time i used it
and for formatting maybe gparted
both are very popular, and should be in the official repos of your os :)
