I always had to look up how to use the dd command until a few years back I saw somewhere that you can literally just use cp and the results won’t be worse in any way.
cp image.iso /dev/sdX

You sure it wasn’t cat? I know you can use a root shell with cat image.ISO > /dev/[…] for disk images/ISO in disk image Format (so most ISO that aren’t Windows) but using the cp command would be news for me.

This works. You can also cat image.iso >/dev/sdx I always laugh at windows users with their external random apps to do something elementary

Won’t this break if the flash drive isn’t marked as bootable?
