Did you verify the ISO?

If you are on Windows, you could also try Rufus:

Or Ventoy, much easier to use if you ask me.

I second Ventoy. You just copy the ISOs onto the USB storage drive and…done. No need to make the drive exclusive to booting one ISO.

Etcher is mainly useful for writing Raspbian / Raspberry Pi OS to an SD card. I’ve found no other use for it outside of this.

Rufus falls into the same trap as Etcher: makes the drive exclusive to only one installer. But it at least has some nice QoL stuff for Windows ISOs.

Etcher is spyware.

But as others have mentioned you might want to verify the image.

And other options exist..

For if on win specifically;

And multiboot options like ventoy;

Got some source on that?

It is because thats what it does by design .. thats probably why they need a whole chrome browser for an “ISO writing tool” .. but I found concrete (and longlasting) examples from reputable sources like the statement by Tails here;
