Create a bootable Zorin Core USB drive

If you want to have a bootable USB drive (stick) so that people you meet can try it out on their own (Win) computer, how do you create a bootable USB stick with Zorin (Zorin-OS-18-Core-64-bit-r3.iso) from Zorin, i.e. using Zorin to get it done?

The guides I find when searching seem to be about creating a bootable USB stick from Windows.

Anyone know a link to a suitable guide? Or would like to give a quick step by step guide here?

You need a Tool what works on Zorin. You have a couple of Options:

  • Impression
  • Ventoy
  • Popsicle
  • Gnome MultiWriter
  • Fedora Media Writer

to name some of them. I use on Zorin the Tool Impression and it works well for me. Except from Ventoy, they work more or less the same. You choose a Drive and the ISO and the Tool creates the Bootstick.

Ventoy goes a different Way. You install Ventoy on the USB Stick and then, You only have to move the ISO on the Stick; that's it. And You can have several ISO's on the Stick, not only one. So, when You want present several Distro's, You only need one Stick.

Yes! Impression worked beautifully. Just install via Software, insert the USB and go. :+1:
