| From: Ansar Mohammed via talk <talk@gtalug.org> | This is a HUGE "it depends" situation. Yes. As I tried to explain (without confidence in my correctness). | If you want to write a raw image to removable media,, you should | use win32dskimager. I have heard and reported this. | If you want to create bootable media from an iso, use rufus. Not if the .iso is designed to also work as-is on a USB. You should treat at least recent Ubuntu, Fedora, and CentOS installation .iso files as raw images to pour onto a USB stick (or DVD, if it fits). I haven't tried other media like a USB HDD or an SD card. Fedora .iso files pass Secure Boot. If create a USB installation disk using Rufus, would it still work with Secure boot? Fedora has an option for checking integrity of the installation medium. Will a Rufus-created Fedora installation pass this integrity check?
