Rufus for Winblows
That's one of those rare FOSS-for-Windows-only apps (along with Notepad++ and SumatraPDF and a few others I'm sure).
Did some looking into Rufus:
* stands for "The Reliable USB Formatting Utility, with Source""
* he claims Rufus is the result of reverse-engineering an old
proprietary HP utility called HPUSBFW
* he claims "as of 2023, Rufus gets downloaded close to 3 million times
each month"
* he has no plans to port it to Linux or MacOS. He thinks a Linux
version that has ~75% of the features of the Windows version would
take him at least 4 months of full-time work.
Rufus is an excellent utility. Unfortunately, even with Rufus, some Linux ISOs end up not booting because, for whatever reason, the people behind the distributions enjoy giving us a free preview of what to expect when running Linux.
