Rufus 一个用来创建启动盘的开源工具。它可以按照你的需求进行调整，用起来很简单。不仅用起来很方便，而且制作启动盘的速度也出奇的快。


遗憾的是，Rufus 不能在 Linux 上使用，它只能在 Windows 上使用。因此大多数在 Windows 上使用过 Rufus 的人，都会在 Linux 上寻找替代软件。


如果你也是这样，不用着急，我们有一些优秀的替代软件，可以满足不同的使用条件。


我们来看看一些关于 Rufus 的替代软件：


### 6 款最佳的 Linux 启动盘创建工具


列出的所有替代软件都是开源的，并且在 Linux 发行版运行很好。


**注意：** *下列软件无任何特定排序*


#### 1、balenaEtcher


![balena etcher 2022](/data/attachment/album/202209/20/232721swgr4cwnnea44gaw.png)


balenaEtcher（或 Etcher）对于多平台（Windows、 MacOS）用户是一个很好的选择，也包括 Linux 用户。


此软件没有任何高级选项。因此十分容易使用。只需要选择 ISO（镜像文件），然后选中目标 U 盘进行写入即可。


它是完全开源的，并在写入完成后检验你的 U 盘。此外，它还自动选择你插入的 U 盘，以避免你不小心选择了硬盘进行格式化。


你可以参考这本 [便捷手册](https://itsfoss.com/install-etcher-linux/) 来在 Linux 上安装它。

#### 2、Fedora Media Writer


![fedora media writer](/data/attachment/album/202209/20/232721yjfrfxqfz8jjbst9.png)


Fedora Media Writer 是专门用来帮助用户创建 Fedora Linux 启动盘的软件。如果你还没有 ISO 文件，它还能为你下载 ISO。


当其它的 U 盘启动盘创建软件导致你不能格式化你的 U 盘时，它也是一个优秀的 U 盘启动盘修复程序。


不用担心，你也可以选择 Fedora Linux 之外的其他镜像来创建启动盘。


你可以在 Flathub 找到任何 Linux 发行版可用的最新的 [Flatpak](https://itsfoss.com/what-is-flatpak/) 软件包。如果你是新手请参考这篇 [Flatpak 指导](https://itsfoss.com/flatpak-guide/)

#### 3、Startup Disk Creator


![startup disk creator](/data/attachment/album/202209/20/232721timitiphxsxytjzj.png)


如果你使用的是 Ubuntu 系统，在系统上已经预装了一个 U 盘启动盘制作软件，即 Startup Disk Creator。


你可以用它选择任何需要的 ISO 文件（最好是 Ubuntu 的任何版本），并选择 USB 设备进行下一步。


当你确认操作后，它就会写入数据来完成制作启动盘。


#### 4、SUSE Studio Imagewriter


![imagewriter suse](/data/attachment/album/202209/20/232721e4zbhnt8lf3ln1r4.png)


SUSE Studio Imagewriter 是一个简单的启动盘制作软件。


我没有在 Ubuntu 软件中心找到它，但是在 Manjaro 的社区仓库和 AUR 中可以找到。如果它可以适配你的 Linux 发行版，你可以试试它。

#### 5、UNetbootin


![unetbootin](/data/attachment/album/202209/20/232722eodd6stfnd9q4nof.png)


UNetbootin 是一个支持 Linux、Windows 和 macOS 的 U 盘启动制作软件。有少量的几个可以调整的选项，比如你可以查看所有可用的驱动器，还可以选择一个发行版来自动下载 ISO 文件。


它与上面的软件不同，它并不是指定用在某些 Linux 发行版。因此，它支持各种各种各样的发行版和系统程序。

#### 6、Ventoy


![ventoy screenshot 2022](/data/attachment/album/202209/20/232722io22d246d5xf5od2.png)


Ventoy 是一个有趣的 USB 启动盘解决方案，你只需要复制粘贴镜像文件到 U 盘即可。


你仅仅需要在 U 盘上安装 Venoy，它会在其上建立两个分区。其中一个用来存储 ISO 镜像，你只需要将镜像文件粘贴到 U 盘即制作成功。


有趣的是你还可以使用它来 [引导多个系统](https://itsfoss.com/multiple-linux-one-usb/)。


它可在 Windows 和 Linux 上使用。

### 总结


如果你需要在 U 盘上放多个 Linux 发行版而不是反复格式化它，Ventoy 似乎是上面所有选项中最好的选择。


为了简单起见，特定于发行版的工具是个很好的选择，例如：Ubuntu 的 Startup Disk Creator 和 Fedora 的 Fedora Media Writer。


SUSE Studio Imagewriter 也不错，但可不能不是最方便的。


如果你没有任何特定的偏好，balenaEtcher 应该是最直接的选择，UNetbootin 是它的一个合适的替代软件。

Rufus is an open-source utility to create bootable USB drives. It is straightforward to use, with available options to tweak as per your requirements. Not just the ease of use, it is also incredibly fast to make bootable USB drives.

Unfortunately, **Rufus is not available for Linux; it** is only exclusive to Windows. So, most of us who have used it on Windows, look for Rufus alternatives on Linux.

If you are in the same boat, fret not, we have some excellent alternatives for various use cases.

Let us explore some Rufus alternatives for Linux:

## Best Live USB Creation Tools for Linux

All the options listed are entirely open-source and work perfectly fine with Linux distributions.

**Note:** *The list is in no particular order of ranking.*

### 1. BalenaEtcher

![balena etcher 2022](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2022/06/balena-etcher-2022.png)

BalenaEtcher or Etcher is a good option for multiple platforms (Windows, macOS), including Linux users.

You do not get any advanced options here. Hence, it is pleasantly easy to use. Simply select the ISO (image file) and proceed to flash it on the target USB drive.

It is completely open-source and validates your drive after the process. Furthermore, it auto-selects connected USB drives to avoid choosing any hard disk if you accidentally wipe it.

You can refer to our [handy guide](https://itsfoss.com/install-etcher-linux/) to install it on Linux.

### 2. Fedora Media Writer

![fedora media writer](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2022/06/fedora-media-writer.png)

Fedora Media Writer is particularly known to help you create live USB for Fedora Linux distribution. It can download the ISO file for you if you do not have it already.

It is also an excellent utility to fix your USB drive if you cannot format it for an issue caused by other bootable USB creation tools.

Fret not, you can also select a custom image (apart from Fedora Linux) to create a bootable USB.

You can find the [Flatpak](https://itsfoss.com/what-is-flatpak/) package on Flathub for the latest version on any Linux distribution. Refer to our [Flatpak guide](https://itsfoss.com/flatpak-guide/) if you’re new to this.

### 3. Startup Disk Creator

![startup disk creator](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2022/06/startup-disk-creator.png)

If you are using Ubuntu on your system, you already have a bootable USB creator pre-installed, i.e., Startup Disk Creator.

You can use it to select the desired ISO file (preferably any Ubuntu version) and choose the target USB device to proceed.

Once you confirm the action, it will proceed with writing the data to complete the bootable drive.

### 4. SUSE Studio Imagewriter

![imagewriter suse](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2022/06/imagewriter-suse.png)

SUSE Studio Imagewriter is a simple live USB creator.

I did not find it in the software center for Ubuntu, but it was available in the community repositories (Manjaro) and AUR. So, you can take a look at it if it is available for your Linux distribution.

### 5. UNetbootin

![unetbootin](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2022/06/unetbootin.png)

UNetbootin is a live USB creator that supports Linux, Windows, and macOS. You get a few options to tweak, in case you want to explore all the available drives, and can also select a distribution to download the ISO file automatically.

It is not specific for any Linux distribution, unlike some options above. So, it supports a wide variety of distributions and system utilities.

### 6. Ventoy

![ventoy screenshot 2022](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2022/06/ventoy-screenshot-2022.png)

Ventoy is an interesting bootable USB solution that lets you simply copy-paste the image to create a live USB drive.

You only have to [install Ventoy](https://itsfoss.com/use-ventoy/) to the USB drive, which makes two separate partitions. One of the partitions is used to store ISO images that you can simply paste into the USB drive to make it bootable.

Interestingly, you can also use it to [create multiboot USB](https://itsfoss.com/multiple-linux-one-usb/).

It is available for Windows and Linux.

[Install and Use Ventoy on Ubuntu [Complete Guide]Tired of flashing USB drives for every ISO? Get started with Ventoy and get the ability to easily boot from ISOs.](https://itsfoss.com/use-ventoy/)![](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/07/install-ventoy-on-ubuntu-linux.png)


![](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/07/install-ventoy-on-ubuntu-linux.png)

## Wrapping Up

Ventoy seems like an exciting choice among the options above if you need multiple Linux distributions on your USB drive without needing to repeatedly flash it.

For simplicity, distro-specific tools can be a good pick, like Startup Disk Creator for Ubuntu, and Fedora Image Writer for Fedora Linux.

SUSE Image Studio is an interesting option, but may not be the most convenient one.

If you do not have any specific preferences, BalenaEtcher should be a straightforward option, with UNetbootin as a suitable alternative to it.
