UNetbootin makes it super easy to create live USB drives for Linux distributions. It even lets you download various distributions right from within the app. Some users have unfortunately reported issues running it on modern systems so alternatives are helpful to have. Some alternatives focus on copying rather than creating ISOs. You can easily filter those out of the list with the burn-iso feature. Creating a live USB drive is typically a one-time affair so installing an app to use it just once isn’t really optimal. You can filter the list for portable apps that don’t need installation. These apps are overwhelmingly free, most being open-source. They’re all desktop apps for Mac, Windows and Linux.
