Is this still something we want to spend time on? I suspect we’d better focus on Feature #15292, given a GUI installation method won’t be enough to fix all the major blockers on macOS.

  • Subject changed from Have a cheap graphical installation method for macOS to Document Etcher to install Tails from macOS

We decided to document Etcher for macOS so I’m renaming this ticket accordingly.

It’s still worth spending some time on this because we could actually document Etcher even before we have Feature #15292, though I doubt we’ll do it.

I also updated our roadmap to match this (/contribute/roadmap).

So I’m deleting doc/11682-15808-etcher (otherwise Jenkins will keep building it for weeks).
