BalenaEtcher or Rufus for writing ISOs to usb.
Or ventoy ? More useful, and so much faster than rufus.
dd works very well if it's a Linux ISO and you're using the USB solely as a livecd.
It can also byte-clone discs and partitions, including ripping CDs and DVDs.
Don't know about dd, but I'll give an eye. https://www.ventoy.net/en/index.html Ventoy has a ton of features.
dd is a fairly ancient/standard file copy utility, if you dd an ISO file to a drive, it images that drive.
Ventoy is basically a clever use of GRUB, which allows booting multiple ISOs from the same USB stick.
