Linux boot media need not be tricky! In today's episode, I'll talk about four ways to flash an ISO from Windows (and other systems too).

I know a lot of you are switching to Linux because of Microsoft's recent... ideas? I'll call them "ideas".

So, here we'll talk about the following ways to flash ISOs:
- BalenaEtcher: https://etcher.balena.io/
- Raspberry Pi Imager: https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/
- Fedora Media Writer (you can just download this when you go to download Fedora, but here's the GitHub): https://github.com/FedoraQt/MediaWriter
- Rufus: https://rufus.ie/

And I referenced the following four reasonably-beginner-friendly distros (in no particular order):
- Linux Mint: https://linuxmint.com/
- Ubuntu: https://ubuntu.com
- Fedora: https://fedoraproject.org/
- Pop!_OS: https://pop.system76.com/

And here's the ISO standard in case you're curious: https://ecma-international.org/publications-and-standards/standards/ecma-119/
