Partial The UI and ISO-selection flow are vibe-codeable, but writing bootable USB media needs low-level disk access, partition and bootloader handling (MBR/GPT, UEFI, syslinux/GRUB), and careful safety checks against wiping the wrong drive.
What it would actually take: Build a native app with direct raw-device writes, ISO parsing, and bootloader installation for both BIOS and UEFI targets, using existing open components like syslinux or GRUB where possible. The hard parts are cross-platform disk access and making sure the tool can't destroy the wrong drive, which calls for systems programming experience. The listing is also a bundled installer, not a legitimate product.
