Comment on Usbimager – A non-electron based alternative to Balena Etcher

Comments

I've been using Win32DiskImager since the first Raspberry Pi. Never found a reason to change.

Usbimager looks nice in comparison to the bloated Balena Etcher, but otherwise very similar to the Win32DiskImager I'm already using. Or is there something I am missing?

Pi Imager has some nice Raspbian-specific advanced features hidden behind a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+X), which can be useful if you plan on deploying a headless system.

I was looking for this last week and couldn't find it on the site. Thanks!
