Is it better to use cat, dd, pv or another procedure to copy a CD/DVD?
Many years ago I wrote https://github.com/adh/random-tools/blob/master/byc.c which tends to be the tool that I use for copying images from/to block device (it was originally meant for something else which is why you need -p for it to do the right thing).

What tool do you guys use to flash the Pop! OS iso? / Pop! OS NVIDIA iso kernel panics every time I boot it because it can't find /init
I'd use Etcher primarily due to it simplicity, and it's available on several platforms. Popsicle next if you have a linux system.
