Very awesome, I didn't install an iso image for my chromebook to use linux, so I used this app, and it works now THANK YOU!!!!!
★★★★★ B R (S.L.B S.P) · Oct 11, 2026
I recently downloaded Debian (Linux) supposedly she just 2 write 2 your hard drives well I'm telling u errrrrrr. Debian snuck her way all the way 👇 2 my mother board &. Locked it 👇. I could not get a downloadable stick 4 nothing cause when I'd use my computer she would lock it down 2 thus nothing would boot. Then I found Etch Droid jut 2 prove my allocation were correct I downloaded inserted my USB & flashed red hat onto a USB. Took this usb & **BOOM** Straight into the boot.100% works I vouch

I was able to easily flash an usb drive with Ubuntu! I got about 12 mbps transfer on my Pixel 10 Pro XL using a USB 2 drive.
★☆☆☆☆ Naithan Beckwith · Oct 1, 2026
This app made me look and feel like a fool. A Plug-in I was trying to make for Arch was causing my Graphics interface to boot loop. I needed a recovery USB made, so I could access a terminal to mount my installation and clear out the plug-in. This app made like 95% of a boot media. I spent 7 hours thinking I needed to reset my motherboard, and maybe I had done something to my GPU. None of that. Had to ask my cool neighbor if I could use his PC to load up Rufus cuz no laptop atm. Problem solved.
