Flashing .ISO with Balena Etcher from a Chomebook

I am trying to flash Zorin 18.1 Core ISO to do a dual boot install on an Asus PC laptop using Balina Etcher from a Chromebook. I don't know which Etcher module to use.

Hello and welcome,
There is no Etcher version for Chrome OS, but you can read this

no etcher build for chromeos so id flash from crostini if that chromebook has linux on

-turn on linux in chromeos settings
-drop the zorin iso into linux files
-plug usb, lsblk, note the whole disk (sda/sdb not a partition)
-sudo dd if=~/Zorin-OS-18.1-Core-64-bit.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M status=progress oflag=sync
-eject then boot the asus off that stick

if crostini wont see the usb just flash it from any normal windows/linux box with balena or ventoy

It's technically correct but not the easiest way :wink:
