hi, in the past I’ve got a pretty weird issue while I was getting ready to make a switch: every USB that I tried failed to boot

turns out, the “safer” way to get it out from the PC (the eject function) messed up its file system

it was long ago, but the other day I made another bootable USB and it happened again, I thought it was just a bug that would be eventually fixed it happens both for Linux Live ISOs and Windows Install Media

am I the only one?

I've found that depending on what distro/OS it is certain methods of burning the ISO don't work correctly, no clue why. Windows needs their official tool, so because of that i use a vm to burn it. I've also had linux distros that couldn't boot when dropping it onto a ventoy drive, and would only work when directly burning it with dd, so it might have something to do with what ISO you're trying to burn and how you're burning it.
