Here are a few ways to make an Ubuntu USB drive on Windows, Mac or even Linux.

Ubuntu Version Selection

First of all, you need to know that Ubuntu has an LTS version and a "technology frontier" version, both of which can be used as a daily desktop terminal, but usually we think that the LTS version is more stable and can receive technical support for 5 years from the date of release. The so-called "technology frontier" released between LTS versions has only a 9-month support cycle, after which users must upgrade to the new version.

There is also the issue of choosing between 32-bit and 64-bit versions. I personally recommend that everyone choose the current mainstream 64-bit version to install, of course, if your computer is too old or can not support it, or install 32-bit! Before there is a popular saying is less than 3GB memory do not choose 64-bit version of the installation, in fact, this statement can be ignored, 64-bit can be more fully utilized CPU support, even if your memory is less than 3GB.

No matter what version you choose, you can download the ISO installation image from the official website: Ubuntu official image download

1.Windows Ubuntu installation USB flash drive production

Universal USB Installer is a very popular and commonly used tool for making Linux installation USB drives under Windows. The tool is a green version that does not need to be installed. It supports the current mainstream Linux distributions and, of course, Ubuntu.

Open Universal USB Installer, then we just need to select the download to Ubuntu image as shown in the above figure, and then specify the drive letter of our current USB drive. In order to ensure that there are no problems in the operation process, it is recommended that you check the format of the U disk.

2.Make Ubuntu installation USB flash drive in Mac

Making an Ubuntu USB drive on Mac is tricky for many ordinary users because we have to use Mac terminal commands. Of course, the advantage is that you don't have to download those miscellaneous and infrequently used tools to occupy space.

Open the terminal and use the following command:

First browse to the download folder:

cd ~/Downloads

Then execute the following command:

hdiutil convert -format UDRW -o ubuntu.iso ubuntu-xxxxxx.iso

*** Part of the file name of the Ubuntu image you downloaded, please replace it according to your situation before executing. This command makes it easier to convert ISO images to Mac.

Remove the.dmg extension added to the image file by Mac:

mv ubuntu.iso.dmg ubuntu.iso

Next list current drives:

diskutil list

Then insert the USB stick and re-execute the above command:

diskutil list

Find the drive mount points that you didn't have before and execute:

diskutil unmountDisk /dev/diskN

where N is the mounting point number of the USB drive found in the previous command.

Execute the following command to start writing the Ubuntu image file to the USB stick:

sudo dd if=./ ubuntu.iso of=/dev/rdiskN bs=1m

After writing is completed, we execute the following command to eject the USB flash drive and the production is completed:

diskutil eject /dev/diskN

3.Ubuntu installation USB flash drive in Linux

The way to make an Ubuntu USB flash drive under Linux is similar to that of Mac, which is done through terminal commands:

First browse to the download folder:

cd ~/Downloads

Then start writing with the following command:

sudo dd if=./ ubuntu-iso-name.iso of=/dev/sdX

Where X is the mount point of the USB drive, of course ubuntu-iso-name means the name of the downloaded Ubuntu image, you need to change it yourself.

After the production is completed, use the following command to launch the USB flash drive:

sudo reject/dev/sdX At this point, the study of "how to make Ubuntu installation USB disk" is over, hoping to solve everyone's doubts.
