If you want to install Linux on a desktop, you'll first have to create a bootable USB drive with your distribution of choice.

    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.

      oflag=sync also works instead of && sync. Might as well drop a status=progress in there too
