I downloaded the latest file and I extracted it to documents (also tried downloads). It contains an appimage but it simply wont run. I searched the forum found dome pieces of information but non that directly assesses this situation.

I have older version balena-etcher-electron-1.5.56-linux-x64.zip that works OK.
Downloaded new version balena-etcher-electron-1.5.71-linux-x64.zip, I unzip it check permissions -rwxr-xr-x, and ran from terminal (after renaming - for ease of typing):
┌─[earl@new]─[06:01:35 pm]───────────────────────────[/mnt/data2/App/New Folder]
└─> ./Etcher
[13163:0114/180149.516040:FATAL:setuid_sandbox_host.cc(157)] The SUID sandbox helper binary was found, but is not configured correctly. Rather than run without sandboxing I'm aborting now. You need to make sure that /tmp/.mount_Etcher10Eucy/chrome-sandbox is owned by root and has mode 4755.

In Linux MX you do not need Balena Etcher, for that you have the tools of MX Linux and they work very well to create live usb from other ISO images

There is a .deb for it, but the download link is broken. Corrected:
https://dl.bintray.com/etcher/debian/et ... _amd64.deb
Looks like it's installable in my Debian buster box (but I'm not trying it for real). Anyway, I agree with napsix65, it seems to be entirely superfluous.
