From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

is it normal that MultiWriter writes a bootable usb stick at 10 MB/s? (linux.community)

Notebook is an Intel ICore i7 with Ubuntu xfce 23.10 installed and running MultiWriter to create a bootable Fedora xfce 39 usb stick.

I tried with Startup Disk Creator, but I couldn't change the .iso file on the menu, so I turned to Multiwriter.

I also created a bootable Linux Mint 2 weeks ago with a macOS 12 and OCLP (open core legacy patcher) and IIRC that was much faster than with Linux. Is macOS faster creating bootable sticks?

Sorry its not an answer to your question, but if you distrohop, take a look at Ventoy. One time write to make it a bootable system, then you just copy ISOs to the drive and you can boot them

I think that's just hardware limitation. My USB2.0 sticks get 10MB/s and USB 3.0 get around 20MB/s

For faster stuff get a SSD with USB adapter

What's the write speed of your USB stick?
