What is the preferred way to make a bootable USB drive on Linux these days? I want to try a couple of distros on my very old mother's PC before installing. When I googled it, I only found ways to do it in Windows. Perhaps my Google-fu is off? So I thought: why not ask Lemmy?

Yeah, almost all guides for Ubuntu apply to other Ubuntu-based distros (Pop, Mint, even Debian). Only the desktop environment works a bit different.

I don't know what's up with MX, since it uses some different technologies under the hood and I'm not informed enough how much it differs
