How to Install Rufus on Ubuntu Mate?
Rufus is a utility that is used to create bootable USB flash drives, such as pen drives or memory sticks. Its main purpose is to flash bootable ISOs and BIOS. Although its size is small, Rufus contains all the required tools that you will need.
Indeed, Rufus is not available for any Linux distributions; it is specifically designed for Windows systems. While its primary purpose is to flash Windows ISOs onto a flash drive, it can also be utilized to flash a Linux image onto a flash drive with ease. You can utilize alternative software options like Balena Etcher for flashing Linux ISOs onto a flash drive. Similarly, if you desire to flash a Windows ISO onto a USB drive, you may use the WinUSB utility.
We will focus on flashing a Ubuntu Mate ISO into a flash drive from a Windows system.
