Mac Linux USB Loader is powered by Enterprise, a custom boot manager designed to make it easier to boot Linux® on your PC or Mac.

No other software out there can do what Mac Linux USB Loader does — it has been the undisputed champion since 2012!

Distribution Downloader

Mac Linux USB Loader features an easy-to-use distribution downloader which lets you easily obtain copies of your favorite Linux® distribution from the Internet. Each distribution has one or more geographic mirrors, allowing you to obtain the ISO from a location close to you. The mirror lists are downloaded from the Internet at a frequency you choose, ensuring you always have the latest mirrors.

The distribution downloader also features descriptions, taken from Wikipedia, of each of the different Linux distributions. These descriptions can help you decide which distribution to choose.

Simple Setup Wizard

Unlike nearly all other software to create a bootable Linux® USB, Mac Linux USB Loader features an extremely easy-to-use user interface. Choosing which USB device to install to is a trivial process, and for advanced users, the software even lets you choose which boot manager you wish to install on your USB.

To create a live Linux USB drive, simply select the drive as it appears in the setup wizard. If you’re an advanced user, you can also select which version of the Enterprise boot manager you wish to use. (This feature is hidden by default and can be enabled in the preferences.)

Uncomplicated Settings

Help & Support

If something is wrong with one of the supported distributions, I can generally help, but if you're doing something exotic, I will require a small fee. I have full-time responsibilities and so I can't afford to give lots of help for free, sorry.
• If you find a bug, please file a bug report.
