So far I have always used Rufus. It&#8217;s a quick and easy way to create a bootable data carrier, e.g. for Windows or Linux installation.<\/p>\n<p>A good alternative for large USB sticks is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ventoy.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ventoy<\/a>. Once installed on the USB stick, we can simply copy ISO files to the stick and then start them. This eliminates the need for constant formatting.
