K3b is very popular...Brasero has been working just fine for me, though.

Brasero runs fine for me. As soon as I place a new DVD/CD in my drive Brasero pops up right away.

Here's the links to k3b

I use Xfburn in Fedora but my Desktop is XFCE not Gnome-

Happy Burning!

What problems are you having with Brasero? A description like 'Brasero is terrible' says nothing and gives no information. 'Alternatives to Brasero?' or describing the problem you're having with it would be more useful and get you more suggestions.

Hello,

Yes, Brasero runs fine for me too. What problems are you having with it?

There is GnomeBaker Burning Tool, Nero (trial version, or you can buy it), ImgBurn (through wine), and SimpleBurn.

I only need a burner for ISO Distro burns.
Have only used Brasero and had absolutely no problems with about a dozen jobs.

Worked faultlessly for me since 7.04 (ignoring user error!) ...

K3b is great, at least here in 10.10, and I imagine it has only become even better. It does mean pulling in some KDE dependencies unless you're running Kubuntu, but well worth it IMO.

I agree one hundred percent and have never understood why devs insist on placing it in their distros. Fortunately, in the 'buntus and in Debian, wodim is a viable option. If you do not like the CLI, then try xfburn. It's very simple and light.

K3b is great if one does not mind cluttering up the install with KDE or if it will be used with transcode. (But there are newer options than transcode, too.)

EDIT: OMG but the Mods went nuts over this -- LOL!
