If you're already on linux there is no need to install special tools. Simply copy the iso directly to the USB device.

dd if=distribution.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=1M && sync

You can do the same with cp too. Also safer.

But I use Ventoy nowadays.

I use Rufus. It just works.

I would like to install a distro on a USB stick, without it doing something stupid to my internal drive's EFI.
