How to download files on Linux without a web browser:
wget -c https://releases.ubuntu.com/22.04.3/ubuntu-22.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso
If you're downloading via a file (as we did above) and it gets interrupted, you could continue it like so:
wget -c -i downloads

How to download files on Linux without a web browser (and why you should)
A distinctive feature of MiniOS is its modular approach to system configuration, which allows users to add or remove modules as needed. This makes the system easy to use and flexible in customization. Based on MiniOS, you can create your own version of the system by simply and quickly creating the necessary modules with the set of programs you need, creating your own unique #ISO using our utilities. In addition, MiniOS occupies only 350-1660 MB of disk space (depending on the version) and can be run from a USB drive without the need to install it on your #computer's hard disk.

You can also browse ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files in local disks and boot them.

"The C standard is an ISO standard." https://lists.orbitalfox.eu/archives/gemini/2021/007420.html #iso is just a totally corrupt farce, a 'standards mill' that takes money for pretence of compliance and "processes". STOP TREATING ISO LIKE IT'S WORTH THE PAPER. ISO needs to be abolished (we need replacements) http://techrights.org/wiki/index.php/ISO
Many of the almost 24,000 technical standards maintained by the International Standards Organization (ISO) are subject to copyright restrictions and are not freely available.
Two weeks ago, Jon Sneyers, senior image researcher at Cloudinary and co-chair of the JPEG XL (ISO/IEC 18181) adhoc group, invited fellow technical experts to collaborate on an open letter urging the ISO to set its standards free.
In an email to The Register, Sneyers explained that paywalled, copyrighted standards inhibit education and innovation.
These are standards that also reduce the cost of doing business, and which allow for various systems to interconnect with each other, for safety, and much more. It is actually crazy that they are not freely available for use. Even various ISO standards for free and open software protocols are hidden behind this paywall.

Open letter drafted against what's seen as unjustified profiteering
Schematron is a language for validating XML, designed for processing XML documents and reporting on errors. Version 1.0 was developed in 1999, since when it has been enhanced and standardised, with the latest version being ISO/IEC 19757-3:2020. This replaced the 2016 version: ISO/IEC 19757-3:2016.
Last month Jelliffe, who is no longer directly involved in editing the standard, posted to "note with extreme displeasure that ISO/IEC has recently reneged on its policy of making available free PDFs for standards that were brought into ISO from the outside: they want you to buy it.
"In the case of the 2020 edition, which is some corrections and additional annexes only to the freely available 2016 edition, it is ridiculous bastardry on ISO's part."
Jelliffe said that "the core library technologies are almost entirely implemented or maintained by private individuals as open source projects (such as David Maus' SchXslt): these small or not-for-profit developers should not have to abruptly fork out $175 for the 2020 edition, which differs only in a few pages from the freely available 2016 edition."
My comment is I'd really hope that open standards that we want universally adopted, should be freely available, at least to open source developers whose projects are usually not commercial by nature.
