unetbootin
UNetbootin is a free, open-source utility for creating bootable USB drives from ISO image files. It runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS and allows users to create live USB drives for Linux distributions such as Ubuntu and Fedora without burning a CD. The app downloads distributions directly or accepts a user-supplied ISO file, then writes it to a selected USB drive or hard disk target. It is widely used by Linux enthusiasts, system administrators, and anyone needing to create bootable installation media or live Linux environments.

1 suggestionUNetbootin now ships a native Apple Silicon build. Multiple sources confirm that the app has been updated with native support for M-series Macs, and community testing from 2023 onward verifies it runs natively on M2, M3 and other Apple Silicon hardware without Rosetta emulation. The simplest approach is to visit unetbootin.github.io and download the latest version — the official site now serves the correct native build for your Mac architecture. If your existing copy is an older Intel-only build, the new native version will offer noticeably faster USB writing and better system integration. After downloading and installing, your previous settings and preferences will be preserved.
