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 never had luck with it. Rufus on Windows. Or just use Ubuntu in Windows by activating WSL and maybe try through bash command line?
I always hate finding the command for it. It's "dd".
I think you need to format usb first.
on windows rufus is indeed the best tool to use imo. i think i used win32diskimager/unetbootin in the past but i see no reason to use that over rufus now.. not sure if dd from WSL works.
rufus formats the usb automatically afaik, and writing image with dd also formats the disk
