If you want to recommend rufus, please do so ONLY with a prominent,
un-ignoreable warning explaining that the user MUST select rufus'
"DD mode" at the prompt immediately before writing the media.
If you allow rufus to write in its default "ISO mode", it will replace parts of
the debian image with its own recipe of loaders and configurations.
I have seen many, many visitors to #debian with hard-to-diagnose installation
problems which disappear after we finally discover their image was written in
rufus "ISO mode" and counsel them to re-do it in "DD mode".
