Perhaps not. But the flag allows for direct I/O for data, bypassing buffers which can be overrun with certain size blocks, potentially causing dirty buffer depending on the machine being used. My understanding is that it's "more reliable" for writing (especially on shitty USB Flash drives) and getting the exact ISO properly written.

But it could be useless all the same - I'm just pointing out that OPs command is not the one recommended by Fedora when writing their ISO. Also OP is less likely to pull the drive before buffers have flushed this way.

Don't use Fedora myself, but it may not be a hybrid ISO that becomes bootable when written... so I looked and you are missing a flag

dd if=/path/to/image.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=8M status=progress oflag=direct

Up until he has the FDA ban those vaccines in the US. He already said he wanted them to nix Polio vaccine.

Definitely "Confidently Incorrect" material.

Not even Joking - Mint can do it. Override the default kernel to 6.8 (via GUI in Update Manager). I've been running Satisfactory on Mint with 6.8 at 4K without issue for months for example). Daily driver with rock solid uptime pedigree. Cinnamon is very comfortable and familiar and yet still very configurable if you like. I like some Mac OS niceties, so I switched mine to feel a bit more like it and use Albert for a quick launcher.

I also use it on several headless servers. Though I leave the graphics running in case I want to KVM on those machines, but never really have to... SSH if need be.

I've solidified and have been on Mint for like 7 years now? I just got tired of distro hopping and the team running the show does a fantastic job. Probably will switch to Debian (LMDE) - going to experiment with it soon.

I imagine musk being fired for cause from NV and unable to exercise his options as a result and the fact that Musk, the richest person on earth with the legal access that provides, hasn't hasn't done shit about it for 3 years speaks volumes I'd say.

Edit. Oh, and defamation laws...

Not really true. States can't infringe on rights granted by the constitution but they can add rights. See: infingement of 2A rights by states and legalized cannabis at the state level, respectively. Look at federal drinking age laws. States had lower ages until the feds pressured States by witholding interstate road funding...

My hot take: saving face and thinking that winning by cheating is the same as winning are toxic culture traits
