Bootloader equivalent to Rufus

Bootloader equivalent to Rufus - lemm.ee

I’ve been trying to find a linux programming similar to Rufus to flash images of OSes on a thumb drive. Nothing from the listicles on the internet or the programs in flatpak have worked for me as well as Rufus on Windows. What have you used that’s worked well? Or, could I run Rufus on my linux machine with WINE?

One of these should do what you’re looking for. Each has a slightly different approach.

Popsicle from Pop!_OS is also very good - really simple. I’m not sure if it can create a bootable Windows USB though.

Fedora Media Writer is also another good option.
