UNetbootin Cross-platform tool to create bootable Live USB drives with built-in downloader for Linux ISO images and rescue disks. does not do UEFI mode does not recognize external hdd/ sdd does not do windows bootable drives and have issues even with some linux distros does not do multiple booting images on single drive Guest • Mar 2020 • 11 agrees and 2 disagrees Disagree Agree UNetbootin is for Linux Distributions. Rufus is for creating bootable USBs in general, independant from the target OS. Guest • Feb 2020 • 6 agrees and 10 disagrees Disagree Agree Does use current versions of "syslinux" and therefore does not create bootable media for a lot firmware ISO files, etc.. Guest • Aug 2019 • 16 agrees and 9 disagrees Disagree Agree It is very powerful and versatile, easy to use and available on all operative systems and ecosystems. Guest • Mar 2019 • 6 agrees and 3 disagrees Disagree Agree Rufus made for me working bootable pendrive with windows 8.1, from iso which I had, and it worked. I tried this same with UNetbootin, and it didn't work.

Guest • Jan 2019 • 0 agrees and 2 disagrees Disagree Agree balenaEtcher is the better option for anyone who doesn't need the extra bells and whistles that rufus offers alexprange • Mar 2019 • 1 agrees and 3 disagrees Disagree Agree BalenaEtcher is a majestic piece of software. It works perfectly with Linux ISOs/IMGs and to clone entire disks, bit by bit. The UI is slick and it works on virtually any platform. Plus it's free and open source! One reason it's not the PERFECT replacement for Rufus is that it doesn't make bootable disks of one specific OS, namely, Windows. So if you want to create a Windows installer, you're better off with Rufus or Media Creation Tool, or even UNetBootin (UEFI only!). Guest • Feb 2019 • 5 agrees and 3 disagrees Disagree Agree It's great. It validates my USB drives so they all work, and it is very fast and easy to use. Highly recommended! reesearmstrong • Dec 2018 • 0 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree Agree Cannot handle Windows 10 bootable USBs Guest • Aug 2018 • 2 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree It's simple and effective. While it doesn't have as many of the features Rufus has, for those who aren't looking to tweak advance settings it is easy to use Guest • Sep 2018 • 0 agrees and 3 disagrees Disagree Agree It's simple, it's easy, it's slick, and it's multiplatform, May not be for everyone, but surely is for most people. espectalll • Feb 2017 • 20 agrees and 12 disagrees Disagree Agree Good design.

Guest • Jul 2017 • 1 agrees and 4 disagrees Disagree Agree Does NOT make bootable OS images from ISO Guest • Mar 2017 • 9 agrees and 11 disagrees Disagree Agree It makes bootable OS images from ISO, a good example: Acronis.
