Rufus for WinblowsThat'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.
