I like Ventoy because I'm an ISO hoarder but if the task needs a dedicated USB, then I'll open Etcher.

I don't.... understand.... the downvotes. I do the same thing though I never really get to the Balena Etcher part. Also, Ventoy is the only way to get a Windows ISO up and running from Linux, as far as I know.

The down votes are from the Etcher part, it has a cult of lovers and a cult of haters.

I'm l fine with people using Etcher, Rufus, or whatever works for them, but I'm aware that both software I just named has passionate haters.

Etcher is not recommend anymore because it's adware and there are better free alternative like Impression

Sadly the "reddit mentality" has already established in this community -- theres no "why" in these downvotes other than as a self-relief/validation thing.
