Believe this is one of the few vendors left making and distributing Linux magazines still(?). Would be interesting to hear what peoples feedback on these are, whether its this one or another. Seems like a fun monthly delivery to get!

You don’t need any third-party software to create a bootable USB. On any Unix-like, you can simply write to the flash drive per-byte with the dd core utility.
Oh, ok.
So anyway, arguably more than now, where every distro needs you to download an iso and use some application, most likely third party, since that is what every distro’s install instructions suggest, to make a bootable external drive on some device that already works, then manually boot into it.
I swear if missing the usability forest for the tech minutia trees was free marketing Linux would dominate the desktop OS landscape.
Isn’t dd a third party software?
No. It is part of gnu coreutils. They’re part of any Linux distro.
