@ArturMeinild It was more fun back then too, there was a strong community sense that we were all part of something very special and new...

@ArturMeinild Interestingly enough in days gone by Canonical offered some serious, longer term support to its non-LTS releases. You can see the slowly shrinking support times for these releases on this table...

@AdamŁ. I have had little to do with Windows for the last 5-10 years, what does this do?

@Pandya It is truly sad to see....

@ChrisC. Good! I see that muru has already given a well thought out answer.
May 27 06:32
@ChrisC. You did not quite make it to the right place :). Questions such as these belong on the Ask Ubuntu Meta page: meta.askubuntu.com

@BeastOfCaerbannog I had not anticipated this flooding when I negotiated Smoky's arrival here :(. I would agree with at least a temporary disabling

@NotTheDr01ds I am sure TW could sort that?
Jun 23 08:06
Certainly at the time I did not consider that pages and pages of alerts would flood this room that really has another purpose :(

@NotTheDr01ds I requested SmokeDetector access from this room from Makyen back when I was a Mod. Perhaps with spam waves of this sort it is a less than useful addition to the room?

The article is written from a very pessimistic angle but I thought the sections on editing had some relevance in this room at least...
Jun 18 22:28
Some interesting thoughts here on not only the role of AI in SE's downturn but also the longer term issues that enthusiastic editing has brought since about 2014.
Jun 16 03:16
@NotTheDr01ds And thanks for sorting it all out!

@NotTheDr01ds Indeed I did 🙂

So this question appears to be asking for software recommendations (I have added this tag) and I was a little surprised to see it closed as opinion based.

etcher is a common term for the application but I was wondering if we actually need a tag of balenaEtcher with etcher as a synonym?
Jun 4 04:28
I was cleaning up a question today (feel free to clean up further) and I noticed some oddness with a tag. Looks like AU uses the tag for the application that upstream actually refers to as balenaEtcher.

@BeastOfCaerbannog I had a quick edit which perhaps may be what you had in mind? Feel free to alter my work as always....

@BeastOfCaerbannog Interestingly this question has been endlessly bumped by the Community Bot

@BeastOfCaerbannog Feel free to make small and large improvements :)

Back in the saddle! I am aware that it is a little controversial giving an answer to a 13 year old question but I think this answer makes a useful addition to a question that has never really attracted a quality answer. Feel free to (loudly) disagree :)

@BeastOfCaerbannog There was a flippant comment by the OP which I suspect has aggravated a few people. Perhaps this triggered the pile on of down votes...

Dammit that is unhelpful Mr Smokey

@Makyen Thank you very much, all is working...

@Makyen Thank you for this. That command shows me as a privileged user here but not as a privileged user on Raiders of the Lost Downboat. My apologies for not mentioning that I would be doing most of my work from that chat room.
