Solution 2:

There are many tools similar to unetbootin. Karel already told you to install unetbootin itself, a few other choices are:

• MultiSystem
• LiveUSB
• YUMI

You'll notice that all three links above are on pendrivelinux.com which has various other tools and tutorials on creating Live USBs or CDs.

Solution 3:

I find using Ubuntu's (and not only) built-in tool, called gnome-disk-utility, to be the most convenient way to make a bootable USB stick.

Open it and from the list on the left side select the device that you'd like to put the iso on (supposedly a USB stick).

After that, click on the two gear icons and select "Restore Partition Image...".

Navigate to the target ISO file and select it. Then press "Start Restoring...".

It will ask you for your password and additional confirmation before it actually starts transferring the file.

Note: If you do not have the tool for some reason, you could use one of the commands below (appropriate for your system). It should be in the standard repositories for all major distributions:

Ubuntu and derivatives:

sudo apt install gnome-disk-utility

Fedora:

sudo yum install gnome-disk-utility

Arch:

sudo pacman -S gnome-disk-utility
