About This App

Fedora Media Writer is a free, open-source tool for creating bootable USB drives with Fedora Linux installations. It automatically downloads the required Fedora ISO image and writes it to a portable drive (USB flash drive, external disk, etc.) in a way that overwrites the drive's partition layout. The application also provides a way to restore a single-partition FAT32 layout to the drive. It is used by Linux users, system administrators, and anyone looking to create installation media for Fedora or other Linux distributions. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.

A native Apple Silicon build of Fedora Media Writer is now available and has been confirmed running on Apple Silicon Macs. To upgrade from the Intel version, download the latest macOS version from the official Fedora Media Writer download page at getfedora.org/fmw/FedoraMediaWriter-osx-latest.dmg. The DMG file contains a universal binary that will automatically use the native Apple Silicon build on M-series Macs. Open the DMG, drag the Fedora Media Writer application to your Applications folder, and the native version will be ready to use. Your existing settings and preferences will carry over. Expect noticeably faster performance and better battery life when creating bootable media compared to running the Intel version under Rosetta.
