How to Create Bootable USB Linux Media with usbimager

Now that Etcher seems a bit "shady", I've decided to recommend a different tool to create bootable Linux installation media: usbimager! This utility is super-lightweight, supports multiple operating systems, and best of all - it's open-source!!! In this video, I show off this tool and give you my thoughts.
