Now, I had no idea such tool even existed, and I am not at all suggesting that we change anything in our ISOs because of it.
It apparently is a quite famous image writing tool for Windows, and live ISOs of other distros apparently work well with it, but let's live this aside for now.
It is....
I don't use windows at all, but I have used rufus in the times that I do and I'd wager that if you took a current poll of all windows users likely to try Linux in the next year and what tool they would use to write an image to a usb-stick, the result would likely be more than 50% planned on using rufus.
Which brings us back to your first paragraph above. If we can fix the iso so that it is compatible with this tool -- that would be the optimal solution. I have no clue what our .iso has that causes the problem, but if you can identify that and it isn't much effort to fix -- it would be worth it.
No, they just have to click the right options in Rufus so that it behaves like 'dd'. The wiki has the instructions, but on another page: <https://www.opensuse.org/> --> Leap - Install. <https://software.opensuse.org/distributions/leap> Down the page: From Windows How to burn a DVD on Windows.
