This is the new persistence setup window. The layout is pretty simple and not all too complex. I made it easy to setup persistence, and you literally just need one mouse click, which is much different from the current set of instructions, which requires a command line and knowledge of how to use it. The default value used when setting up persistence is 128 MBs of persistent storage, which is usually enough for installing drivers and the like.
This is the distribution downloader. It doesn't really work yet and is currently in development. It is an expansion of the current distribution downloader panel in the current version of Mac Linux USB Loader. The distribution downloader offers a stable and reliable way to download ISO files of Linux distributions which can be used by Mac Linux USB Loader. I intend to have some sort of mirror support as well, so that you can download the distribution from a server closest to you, if supported by the distribution vendor. My plan is to open-source this whole process, so that everyone can download the mirror lists and make suggestions, etc from a site like Github. More details on this will be forthcoming.
So what do you think about the progress being made on Mac Linux USB Loader? Drop me a line and let me know your thoughts, and, as always, comments are welcome.

It's a big improvement! Do you have any ETA?
Unfortunately, no. Hopefully soon, but I'm not sure. Hopefully they'll be a beta out soon.
Thanks for all the hard work you are putting in this application.
Best Regards

I also appreciate your work! It means a lot. However, I'm trying to follow your tutorial on creating persistence with the live USB loader. Couldn't quite figure it out with the information given. A video/more detail would be nice. I've worked a solid week trying different tutorials and methods and none seem to work. Thanks in advance! *I've achieved the basic live boot. I'd just like to partition my 16gb kingston thumbdrive to save wifi/drivers/bookmarks/ect. As I'm sure you know.
However, if you're going to be creating an update with a built-in partition like unetbootin (which doesn't work with mac btw. I've tried the workarounds...) That would be amazing.
