First release of Rufix, a Rufus clone for Linux. Built for Linux Mint and works on Ubuntu, Debian and other GTK desktops.

Install

Linux Mint / Ubuntu / Debian: download rufix_0.1_all.deb and run:

sudo apt install ./rufix_0.1_all.deb

Other distributions: download rufix-0.1.tar.gz, then:

tar xzf rufix-0.1.tar.gz && cd rufix-0.1 && sudo ./install.sh

Rufix then shows up in your app menu.

What it does

  • Formats USB drives and SD cards: FAT32, exFAT, NTFS, ext4 or FAT16, MBR or GPT, plus a bad-blocks check
  • Writes Linux ISOs and disk images (.iso, .img, .img.xz/.gz/.bz2) in DD mode and checks the result
  • Makes UEFI-bootable Windows 10/11 install drives, with the Rufus options to skip the TPM, Secure Boot and Microsoft account requirements
  • Checksums, drag and drop, progress with time remaining, cancel, and a log

Known limitations

This is an early release. It has been tested on disk image files, but not on many real USB drives yet. Drives made in ISO mode boot on UEFI only. Please report problems in Issues.
