## What it is
|
|
|
|
Impression makes bootable drives. Choose an ISO or other disk image, choose a USB drive, and it writes the image so the drive can start a computer, for example to install Linux or Windows. It can also download some popular Linux distributions for you.
|
|
|
|
## Why it's here
|
|
|
|
- **Simple.** No options to puzzle over, just the image and the drive.
|
|
- **Works for any system.** Linux distributions and Windows installers alike.
|
|
- **Handy for Arch.** Make a USB stick with the Arch ISO, which is what you'd boot to [roll back a snapshot](/system/#snapshots).

## On CoreDesktop
|

|
Impression is installed from Flathub. Open it from the app menu. The Flatpak update keeps it current.
