am I the only one?

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?

What are you using to flash the drive, what OS, what DE, what machine are you on and what are you trying to boot on?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
