The first one i looked at was K3b but apparently it dont like other software i have.

From what I have experienced Rufus is good I think you can only use it on windows though you probably could run it on a VM and that also would provide more security as a bonus.

For non ios files, I would just look for one on the Linux package manager

I have always liked K3b, but as you have observed, it can be problematic.
Brasero is a good basic burner application.
It sometimes makes a difference which desktop environment you are using and which Linux distro.
If you post that information you may get some good recommendations.
I still use K3b even though it likes to complain a lot

 

[Hillbilly H]

Thank you both.
Vrai i use Distro Linux Mint 20.1
DexTheDog i am trying to stay away from all windows! LOL

Are you wanting to create copy iso files to thumb drivers or are you actually wanting to burn a dvd? dd FTW win if you are just wanting to create thumb drives to live boot from.

I have always used Brasero, its not a difficult one for newer converts

I've never had any issues with k3b or Brasero.

These days, I hardly ever bother with optical media, so I may not be the greatest reference point. I did do some k3b testing as a matter of course, but had no issues with it. (It's the default in Lubuntu, so it gets tested by at least me.)

Several Xfburn, K3b and for Puppy users pburn.

i will mostly be using it to burn dvd, mp4, mp3, wav to new dvd-rw.

XFburn and Brasero have always worked for me.

 

[Brickwizard]

M20.1 is what I have on my desktop With Brasero.... no problems

 

[Brickwizard]

Thought... if you have a mix of sound formats and want to burn to a single format [say MP4/Ogg/Wma etc ] to MP3 I use the gnome sound converter first
sudo apt install soundconverter

 

[darry1966]

For a simple option and you like fltk apps there is flburn.

 

[Hillbilly H]

Thank you all for the input.
i loaded up Brasero and giving it a try.
