    Fun fact, prior to the Cambrian explosion animals did not have hard parts. There is a theory in a book called "in the blink of an eye " that some animal evolved eyes followed quickly by the evolution hard parts and the Cambrian explosion. They’re were three phyla of animals before the Cambrian explosion and whatever the current number is now I think it’s like 28 after the Cambrian explosion which took place in a very short period of time. link to book edited comment to have better search

    This dd command from the command line is what I use because it is built in and perfectly bare bones for my needs. I like to use the command flag --status=progress to show a status bar while duplicating the data. A word of caution: the dd, or ‘data duplicator’ program is sometimes known as the ‘destroy disk’ program because if you flash the iso file to the wrong disk/drive you can mess up the drive. Use the appropriate level of caution because there is no undo button. You can use the lsblk command to list the block devices on your machine and use the correct device. Quick instructions: use lsblk to list your block devices and locate your flash drive. If the flash drive is mounted (the /sdb/ will have something like /media/files if it is) you can unmount with $umount /path/to/sdb. Once the drive is unmounted you can use the dd program to duplicate the data (iso file) to your drive.
