Generic x86-64 installation guide Balena Etcher issue
Feedback
The guide talks about booting Ubuntu live on the target system:
Copying a live operating system (e.g. Ubuntu) onto a USB device. Then, insert this USB device into your x86-64 hardware and start the Ubuntu.
And afterwards suggests to use BalenaEtcher to write the image to the disk of the target system. Unfortunately BalenaEtcher doesn't work out of the box on Ubuntu 22.04 as it is missing Fuse2.
When using Ubuntu 20.04 everything works correctly. It took me a couple of hours to find out why it wasn't working and use Google to find alternative tools.
Maybe we could suggest Ubuntu 20.04 within the guide and save others from making the same mistake.
Also the url to the HAOS image is outdated, within the guide it states:
