How to make a bootable usb for ubuntu

 Hola people!

Hope you all doing well. Today's post a how-to tutorial on How to make a bootable USB for ubuntu. FYI, ubuntu is a Linux distribution that is often recommended for the beginner. 

From my personal experience, if you want to have a good experience with Linux as a beginner, then you should start with ubuntu. 

Without any further due, let's get started. 

1. For this go to the official site of the ubuntu and then download the ISO image of the ubuntu. 

 

2. Then download another tool named "Rufus". This is a free tool that will convert a simple USB to a bootable USB.

3. Use a USB with at least 8GB of storage. Connect it with your system. 

NOTE: The content of this USB will be erased once it gets converted to a bootable USB. So make sure that you have backed-up all the crucial files or I will suggest using an entirely empty USB for this purpose.  

4. So as soon as the Rufus window pops up,  in the device section, ensure that you select your connected USB.

5. Now click on the File System option and choose FAT32 to enable the "Create a bootable disk using" option.

6. Then check the "Create a bootable disk using" option and select your downloaded Ubuntu ISO file. 

7. Then hit the start button and soon the main process will start. 

8. Click "Yes" to automatically download the newer Syslinux files.

9. Now choose the "Write in ISO image Mode(Recommended)" option and click ok.

10. You will be warned that all the files of the USB will be erased from the USB. So you have an option to back up your files at this stage.

Congrats, your bootable USB is ready now. You can use ubuntu whenever you want. Hope this helped all those who want to get started with Linux. In my upcoming posts, I will be sharing some more info on Linux terminal commands, so stay tuned.
