Creating a Windows 11 Install USB in 2022

I have been installing Windows for a long time. Does it get easier? I want to say it gets easier, but it seems like there's always some new wrinkle! These instructions are as much a note to my future self as they may be useful to anyone else.

For me, I was not able to get any exfat-based installs, or even any of the GUI helpers to make this process any more straightforward. Maybe on your target Windows / host OS those helpers will work, but the below process (as of current year) is consistent, and not overly complicated.

Overview:

Downloading an official ISO image from MS:
- https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11
Formatting the drive (at least 8GB) as GPT, and one FAT-format partition (aka MS-DOS)

Can use Disks or Disk Utilty for this

The Setup

I wanted to write a module that generates multiple systemd services and timers to scrub some zfs pools at certain intervals. The default scrub config does not support individual scrub intervals for each pool.

I want the config to look like this:

{
  services.zfs-auto-scrub = {
 tank = "Sat *-*-* 00:00:00";

Protontricks Installation (Optional)

Assetto Corsa

If you have tried before, cleanup by using the command bellow and try again
```
rm -rf ~/.steam/root/steamapps/compatdata/244210
```
Change proton version to Proton 5.0-x, and try to run, it will fail.

	If you want this guide to work on the deck, for easiness of following the guide, make your filesystem temporally writable
	and install protontricks regularly.

	This is really an update for the guide found here https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/148#issuecomment-585921635

	We will be using Proton 5.0-10 the only proton version that works good for assetto.

	Before starting, make sure you have no pfx folder for assetto corsa, you can search for it in:
	/path/to/your/SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/244210
