- I have an *img.zip file downloaded from a repo.
- On NixOS, if I decompress it, then use ```dd``` to write it to an SD Card, it fails to boot on a RaspberryPi.
- On Ubuntu, if I take the same file and flash it using Balena Etcher, it works (Balena takes the zip and decompresses it first).
- I used the same SD Card, and the same USB adapter in both situations--plugged into the same kind of USB port.
Question: why might Balena on Ubuntu work but ```dd``` on NixOS not work?
