I use cat (as root) to write ISO to flash drive. Anything wrong with that?

I refuse to use that command now. I’ll just write isos with imagewriter like the pleb I am. I know my place

Or what I did the other day, put in a dd command with bs=1 where I meant to type bs=1M. Why is this taking so long? Is my drive broken? Is it even doing anything? Took me a while to notice my mistake

My SD card reader doesn’t even have a light.

I also like to live dangerously can’t afford a new one that’s fast enough.
