Trying to flash a windows iso on a usb stick from linux is making me wanna fucking kill myself

IS THERE ONE FUCKING SOFTWARE WHICH CAN FLASH A FUCKING WINDOWS ISO SUCESSFULLY??

From the 4 ive tried so far none of them worked. What the actual fuck is wrong with desktop linux sometimes

Ive already wasted 1 and half hour of this shit. On windows I would have done this in literally 3 minutes

Holy shit fuck me

    I thought the most reliable way to make windows iso was to use that windows flash drive program you have to download from microsoft. No idea if that will work under wine. I had problems so I make all usb flash drives in windows 10 using rufus. But windows bootable media I use the microsoft tool.

    @YourMom Probably doesnt since it has to access to raw device

    I'm now using my windows laptop too. Linux is a fucking disaster sometimes

    I flashed a Linux .iso to a USB earlier and it's so sexy

    you just cp

    that's it

    you don't even mount it first

    sexy.

    (pls don't take this out of context)

    @jestdotty You'd have to dd it instead of cp it but that sadly doesn't work with windows ISOs because windows is retarded

    Dont ask my why but it needs special sauce to become bootable

    lsblk -> choose the main of your drive. so /sda not /sda1.

    don't give a fuck if you're still mounted. Yolo.

    sudo dd if=theiso of=dev/sdad

    Done. NOOB :P
