If you're in Mac and using BalenaEtcher to re install read this first!

Sup Decky's, today I want to re install my SteamOS and after trying using BalenaEtcher to write the image to an external usb start to write to 0.20 mbps the ETA time was 7xx minutes, after research I found out that you can decompress the img.bz2 file downloaded from Valve with the unarchiver or any uncompress software and then try to flash the img to the external drive and will boost a lot more, dont know if is a BelanaEtcher bug but anyways works for me.
