What is the best alternative to Rufus?
I've been using Rufus for a while now to create bootable USB drives for various operating systems and utility software. It's been a reliable tool, but recently I've encountered some limit...
If you are looking for a Rufus alternative, the dd command is a very powerful choice in Linux. After inserting the USB drive, use lsblk or fdisk -l to find the device name of the USB drive (such as /dev/sdb), and then run dd if=ISO file path of=device path bs=4M after confirming that it is correct. This command can write the ISO image directly to the USB drive and has good compatibility with images of most operating systems.
Although dd requires some basic operations, it has a fast writing speed and strong stability, making it a good choice for creating a bootable disk.
