hi, in the past I’ve got a pretty weird issue while I was getting ready to make a switch: every USB that I tried failed to boot

turns out, the “safer” way to get it out from the PC (the eject function) messed up its file system

it was long ago, but the other day I made another bootable USB and it happened again, I thought it was just a bug that would be eventually fixed it happens both for Linux Live ISOs and Windows Install Media

am I the only one?

    @overcast yes, the only one.
    If you want to be sure, go in a terminal and type umount /media/<stick> ( I do not know your path) and wait a bit. maybe mount it again there with mount /media/<stick> and have a look, if there is an error of a possible damaged filesystem.
