Describe the bug

I installed PyBricks on an EV3 today, but it took some time.
The instructions point to Balena Etcher to create a bootable SD card, but the current version of Etcher causes problems, > resulting in unbootable cards and failed verification after flashing.
The solution was using an older version: 1.5.26 worked. I found this solution online somewhere, maybe it is worth mentioning in your guide.

Maybe we can just link to the working Etcher version.

I created a working SD Card on Ubuntu, by using Disk Image Writer app (per instructions on EV3DEV: https://www.ev3dev.org/docs/tutorials/writing-sd-card-image-ubuntu-disk-image-writer/)
