But the download and install page recommends Etcher. Ah, no, my mistake: 
it is the help for Windows, the page for Linux recommends Impression or

I have used dd my entire life :-)

When my only system was Windows (Me) I bought the SuSE professional in

I burned install CD/DVDs, though.

No office software, no anything useful. Have to be purchased separately. 
Does it have a video player that works? Mail perhaps, dunno.
