MajUSB Bootable Creator review
A focused Linux utility for writing Linux and customized Windows USB media.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
MajUSB Bootable Creator is an open-source Linux desktop application for writing Linux and Windows ISO images to USB drives. It is intended for Linux users who need a graphical workflow for standard Linux media or customized Windows installation media. The GTK4 interface provides progress tracking, logging, automatic USB device-list refresh, and dependency checks with distribution-specific installation instructions.
Its strongest area is Windows media creation from Linux. MajUSB can create FAT32 and NTFS partitions and provides flags for bypassing Windows TPM, Secure Boot, and RAM requirements. Optional direct dd writing supports a more direct image-writing workflow, while post-write read-back verification adds a way to check the written media. Installation options include AppImage, DEB, source, and Arch-related packages, giving Linux users several ways to install the application.
MajUSB remains focused on local ISO writing rather than serving as a full USB provisioning environment. Image downloads are local-only, so users need the ISO separately. Persistent-storage detection and partition creation exist, but boot-time persistence is documented as non-functional. Native Windows support is planned but not implemented, which makes MajUSB a fit for Linux users managing both Linux images and Windows media, but not for users who need a Windows-native creator or working persistent Linux sessions.
