Media Writer produces USB stick with FAIL media check · Issue #669 · FedoraQt/MediaWriter · GitHub I had a checksum error with a newer Fedora Media Writer on Windows, didn’t have it on the version before that, but can’t exactly rule out any other oddity. But that October pre-release version before 5.0.9 is my go-to if I’m using Fedora’s media writer on Windows.
Rufus two days ago even when writting the F40 iso in dd mode still gave me a 4% checksum error. Doubt I’ll be using it ever again.
Etcher is my main go-to on Windows and so far has written images flawlessly. Linux I just dd also without any problem.
