Writing images to an SD Card#
In order to write a Linux image to an SD card you will need an empty SD Card with 64 GB of space.
In native Ubuntu we can both unpack and write the zip archive in one terminal command. Just replace <IMAGE NAME> with the filename of the image you downloaded in the previous step. Use ls /dev/sd* to list all of your drives and be careful whenever you work with storage devices. Instead of sdX enter the name of the SD card device.
sudo umount /dev/sdX*
sudo zstd -dc <IMAGE NAME>.wic.zst | sudo dd bs=1M status=progress of=/dev/sdX
In a WSL environment you can unpack the zip archive using a tool of your choice. Afterwards we recommend using the open-source tool Disk Imager to write the image file to the SD-Card. Download the app here: [https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/]
