Off-topic:

It's not important to the OP who probably just wants to download an
executable to get the job done. However, I tend to build some packages
on my own. Building the balena-etcher dependency electron (chromium
based bloatware) on a SATA SSD with a Celeron G1840 2.80GHz dual-core
and less than 8 GiB memory takes more than 19 hours. Building a bloated
kernel, with all kinds of modules most of us never ever will need, takes
less than 2 hours on the same machine.
