Must-Have Windows App: Rufus, to Install Linux and Remove Windows
Description
A Facebook screenshot: the official verified Windows page asks 'What are some must have apps on your Windows 10 PC?' (417 likes, 602 comments, 7 shares). Top comment by Shravan Doda replies: 'Rufus. You can use it to create a bootable Linux drive and remove windows', with Haha reactions. The humor is the perfect troll answer to corporate engagement bait - naming Rufus, the beloved USB-flashing utility, whose 'must-have' value on Windows is enabling you to wipe Windows itself and install Linux

Rufus: the only Windows app with a 100% successful uninstall rate - for the OS
Rufus: the only must-have Windows app whose exit condition is no Windows.
I hate these types of posts Comment deleted
the same people that would reply to windows/others like that would also tell you to RTFM and fuck off the moment you have a linux issue Comment deleted
this is because your setup is specific to you, and the time I as a longtime linux user would have to spend figuring out what you did wrong would be significantly longer than if you just read the manual… on windows there's plenty people who're willing to help you out because it's always the same 20 issues in a different coat. on linux? short of having direct access to your system it's very hard to figure out what's actually causing an issue. best I can do is tell you the relevant manual to read.

Linux users be acting like their system is ready from the box like win. For real, why should i spent whole damn day to tune all up, i need to work now! Comment deleted
not as if you don't have to tune up anything on a fresh install of windows either Comment deleted
Not as much as i did when tried kubuntu. Its graphics died afterwards tho, and the thing was starting from only 3rd attempt or so. Prolly bcuz of my nvidia gcard Comment deleted
oh, my bad Comment deleted
Wdym ur bad? It's def linux fault for not being optimized for like most popular graphics card manufacturer Comment deleted
what, you don't like relatable corporate banter, forced tribalism, and cult behavior? Comment deleted
Rufus is outdated, everyone uses Ventoy now, or am I wrong? Comment deleted
it's not that stable to use it exclusively Comment deleted
ventoy and secure boot, name a worse duo Comment deleted
imo rufus is better, even tough it's windows-only Comment deleted
Balena etcher Comment deleted
ehh. not a huge fan Comment deleted
Ventoy doesn't work well with some immutable distros either. Just use Rufus or Balena Etcher. Comment deleted
Win10 is outdated for a while now Comment deleted
How about this one? Comment deleted
I was very confident, but then I had to install Ubuntu server on VirtualBox and the first thing I googled was Rufus for linux... But then I found out about dd. Comment deleted
