what do you mean
irrespective of the command, the iso is in the Downloads folder, but you're working in the terminal at the home folder (yomama), hence "no file" message for starters, so cd Downloads changes to the folder with the iso in it.   Are you just trying to burn it and make  bootable stick?

This should work (as root)-

Code: [Select]
cd Downloads
cat artix-base-runit-20220713-x86_64.iso > /dev/sda
sync

or use your dd command with of=/dev/sda, make sure you are in directory where iso is (Downloads)

I wouldn't exactly recommend using cat to burn ISOs since you're not specifying the block size that is getting written to the device, this might cause problems.

assuming you're using manjaro - in aur, install imagewriter.   a real simple drag and drop app (from Suse originally).  Please don't take this the wrong way, but if you're asking how to burn an .iso and yet you are using Manjaro (i just did a quick search of the manjaro forum and its there....), then thats quite a simple thing to do - Artix is going to be a real struggle if that is the case (command line stuff for the most basic of app installs etc) - maybe stick with manjaro for a while until knowledge has increased?

Been using cat since hybrid iso's came out, never had a problem.
