MajUSB Bootable Creator is a modern, cross-platform USB bootable drive creator written in Rust with a GTK4 GUI.
Easily write Linux or Windows ISO images to USB drives with real-time progress, robust error handling, and a polished, user-friendly interface.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Modern GTK4 GUI: Clean, responsive, user-friendly interface with modular dialogs and logging to the UI.
- Cross-platform: Works on Linux (tested on major distros).
- Windows & Linux USB creation: Dual-partition Windows flow (FAT32 BOOT + NTFS ESD-USB) with bypass flags (TPM/SB/RAM) via unattend; optional dd mode (off by default); Linux write support.
- Privilege Escalation: Uses a secure helper binary with pkexec only when needed.
- Dependency Check: Required/optional package checks (wimlib, sgdisk, etc.) with install commands per distro.
- Cluster Size & NTFS options: Cluster selection and optimized rsync/mount flags for throughput.
- Auto-refresh Device List: Detects USB device changes automatically (lost during GUI modularization; likely needs re-wiring).
