Do not use Etcher - Spyware

[greenonline]

Apart from the fact that Etcher is Spyware, see this issue and this issue, it is just appalling anyway: bloated and fails most imaging tasks.

For a good multi-platform imager use the Pi Imager, it is waaaaay better..!

Since you can't seem to figure out how to use wikipedia, I'll help you:
click here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spyware, and the first thing you'll see is this:

Spyware is software with malicious behavior that aims to gather information about a person or organization and send it to another entity in a way that harms the user.
