What options are there for flashing to SD cards? Something that works on Mac too would be nice. A gui is preferred.
Plug your usb drive in and run lsblk to figure out which letter to use instead of x in /dev/sdx
sudo dd if=image.iso of=/dev/sdx bs=1M status=progress
EDIT: I totally didn't read your request. This is not gui or Mac based, but it still might help someone.
I'm pretty sure mac, being based off freebsd, would include dd

Glad I saw this. I downloaded the tool on recommendation from a forum post when I was reviving my homelab. I’ll nuke it for sure.
Thank you for pointing it out.
