Yeah, that is a head scratcher,
I have been using old Dell laptops running Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04,
and Linux Mint Debian Edition to run Balena Etcher and flash my SD cards.
>Though for the Mint DE, I did have to refer to the help pages to find the correct Balena Etcher to install.
Since I have had very good results with Etcher, I do not understand why it is not working for you.
Are you using a separate power supply to run your 2tb hard drive ?
I have seen posts where heavy external loads have caused other problems on the PBP.
