From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've found that depending on what distro/OS it is certain methods of burning the ISO don't work correctly, no clue why. Windows needs their official tool, so because of that i use a vm to burn it. I've also had linux distros that couldn't boot when dropping it onto a ventoy drive, and would only work when directly burning it with
dd, so it might have something to do with what ISO you're trying to burn and how you're burning it.
