Description

Adds Burnout to the USB / Bootloaders section of System Tools.

Burnout is a free, open-source (MIT) command-line tool that writes a bootable USB drive from an ISO or a disk image, with the same commands on Windows, macOS and Linux.

  • A Linux or other hybrid ISO goes onto the drive byte for byte, and Burnout checks the drive against the image with SHA-256.
  • A Windows installer ISO gets FAT32 for the boot files and exFAT for the install image, so a large install.wim is never split. Options can skip the Windows 11 hardware checks and the Microsoft account step.
  • It refuses the system disk. It names the target drive with its size to the byte, and waits until the person confirms it.
  • Binaries for Windows, macOS and Linux on x86_64 and arm64, each with GitHub build provenance. Also on Homebrew, Scoop and crates.io.
