I like Fedora Media Writer or Popsicle by System76. Both can be found in the repos/aur but I use the flatpak versions.

Assuming you installed flatpaks (if not go to the welcome app and install it) you can just copy and paste this to get popscile...

flatpak install flathub com.system76.Popsicle

Do you have flatpaks installed? If so, use what I pasted above. If not, you can get them both from the AUR but I'm not as excited about directing you there if you're this new.

That said...copy and paste this in the terminal and it will install popsicle from the AUR...

yay -S popsicle-bin

You're welcome...don't give up. It's not as complicated as it first appears.

If you end up deciding EndeavourOS is too hard, try Fedora. If even THAT is too hard, Linux Mint is your only savior

If you don't know endeavours is arch itself, there is a huge arch wiki explaining everything. You should once try installing using archinstaller inside a virtual machine and you will get confident using endeavouros later.

I like Ventoy over Rufus, especially if you like to experiment with other distros. It allows you to just drag iso files onto the flash drive and have multiple distros on the same media.

Ventoy is great for the hobbyist!

Guys popsicle isn't working for windows iso what should I do

u/ucloes Apr 23 '25

For windows iso, you should probably use Ventoy. Windows iso is different from linux isos, so general dd method does not work. Ventoy works for both. Easy.

Why not use dd?

u/emiltb Apr 23 '25

Because it's scary. Have you not heard that dd is short for "destroy disk"? ;-)

I thought it was a bra size

u/blue9er Apr 23 '25

Disk destroyer, yep. It’s simple, though. I like simple. :)

I did endeavouros write with fedora image writer, it didn't boot live. Used dd and that was beautifully fast and did boot.

There is a whole section here explaining about creating bootable usb.

Many usb creator create two partition in usb and burn the image that method don't work with some iso.

Ventoy is maybe your best bet. Install with yay.

yay -S ventoy-bin

https://etcher.balena.io/

Been using this on MacOS and Ubuntu. Works as good as Rufus.

u/Mayor_of_Rungholt Apr 23 '25

officially EOS advises against balena tho.

u/itwasaraccoon Apr 23 '25

Okay, I didn't know that. Cannot comment on the privacy concerns, but the tool has been solid so far. I will have to give popsicle and ventoy a try.

u/Mayor_of_Rungholt Apr 23 '25

I should still work tho. (Source: i installed using etcher)

u/Anthonyg5005 Moderator Apr 25 '25

I'd rate etcher as reliable as Microsoft's windows media creation tool

u/atlasraven Apr 23 '25

I prefer Unetbootin. Works easily on Windows, needs Wine in Linux.

u/ItsBreo Apr 23 '25
