I'm currently using ExodiaOS, but I'm really frustrated with it and want to switch over to Arch Linux. However, I'm having a major problem trying to create a bootable SD card. No matter what I do, it keeps creating two partitions when I flash the image. I've tried everything I can think of, but nothing seems to work and I can't even install Balena Etcher because I keep getting errors. I really don't have access to another PC and need a solution fast. Can anyone help me out?

What do you mean by two partitions? If you're using an ISO with two partitions, that's expected. You don’t necessarily need Balena Etcher; the classic 'dd' command works just fine too. Sometimes we overcomplicate things when the old methods do the job. Just be sure you know what the error messages are saying!
Hey! First off, try to take a breather—panic doesn’t help much in these situations. Creating two partitions is actually pretty normal for bootable ISOs. What method are you using to flash your SD card? If you're having trouble with Balena Etcher, you might want to try some alternatives like KDE's ISO Image Writer or Ventoy. It'll make things easier! If you're set on Arch, just make sure you're okay with a DIY approach. If not, consider easier distros like Linux Mint or Ubuntu.
