Test Etcher, a multiplatform USB stick burner

Could this replace dd graphically and on multiple platforms?

First we should test whether it works in the first place, then whether it modifies the ISO image in any way.

1. Download and verify an ISO image
2. Burn it on a USB stick using Etcher in Windows and Mac
3. Report a few screenshot of the process to get an idea
4. Start from this USB stick
5. Try to understand if Etcher does a byte-to-byte copy (like dd) or something more fancy
6. If it’s like dd, try to compare the checksum of the ISO and the resulting USB stick
7. If it’s like something else, investigate what it does, compare the boot option, the boot loader, etc.
