That's an excellent page.

Part of my interest in Mageia was to find out about its live persistence.

This item in the wiki is the 'controversy':

So, what Rufus recognizes as a hybrid is not the same as what some other 
tools such as isodumper recognize. My current understanding is that the 
usual 'strategy' for 'converting' an .iso which was 'built' for burning 
as an optical and making it into a hybrid which can also be written to 
USB is to use the utility isohybrid on an ISO 9660 image which was 
created by such as mkisofs (or others) to make the hybrid. I don't know 
how Mageia does it.
