A lot of people on the board are recommending Popsicle to create boot USB's ...... I have used both the other methods with no real problems but I understand Popsicle is for use within Ubuntu various OS's .... so I found a command on Foss and typed it i the terminal .... but then I got this warning .....
mike@mike-ROG-Strix-G731GT-G731GT:~$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:system76/pop

I went ahead and downloaded it to Zorin .... is this gonna be safe to use or like the warning said "use at your own risk" ..... I haven't tried it yet as I'm using Zorin 16 pro with a Cinnamon DE ..... I will await your replies before using .....
You can install Popsicle burner, now. Currently, you are still safe.
But... Once Popsicle is installed:
You Absolutely Must Now Remove that Repository
If you forget, the next time you run updates, you will break Zorin OS when the system tries to upgrade to the different packages used by POP_OS.
That is unsafe.
Remove with:
This is what I got ..... doesn't say it was removed or not ?????

Press [ENTER] to continue or Ctrl-c to cancel removing it.
OK thanks normally it would show a list of stuff being deleted but this time nothing .... so it had me a bit concerned .... by the way I did hit enter ....
There are some other programs out there that are good to use ....
I am really surprised that so many of you feel the need to install the System76 repo, in order to install Popsicle. Guys, I never installed the REPO, and I can find it in the software store just fine, and thats how I installed it. See!
See, no sense to making it harder then it is. Because its like Aravisian said, if you install that REPO, then you better freaking remember to remove it later, otherwise, when your system goes to update, its gonna be so broken, you will need to re-install the OS after.
You should have no trouble with .deb files. It's safe.
It honestly does not show up in my Software Store...
I've looked since others say they see it there.
It may be due to my removal of Snapd and Flatpak...
