False warning popup for linux distro Windowsfx #3679

When flashing Windowsfx (Link) to an USB, I get the warning that I try to flash a Windows-iso but that is not the case. It is just a Linux distro.

Looks like the fact that your image contains windows in the filename, is enough to make Etcher think that it might be a Windows image? https://github.com/balena-io/etcher/blob/master/lib/shared/supported-formats.ts#L38 :man_shrugging:

Yea, I think so also.
