Bootqt

Bootqt is a simple app for making a bootable USB drive from an ISO or IMG file.
Picture
Bootqt is a lightweight application that allows you to quickly create bootable drives from image files such as iso. It uses the dd tool to image the drive. It is written in Python and uses the Qt framework to provide a straightforward graphical user interface that everyone can use. The source code of Bootqt is publicly available.
​

How to Install Bootqt:
Method 1:
You can can install it via the Software Center. Search for Bootqt and then click the Install button.
Picture
Method 2:
You can can install it as Flatpak via the FlatHub website. 

​Command line instructions​
  Install: 
flatpak install flathub io.github.giantpinkrobots.bootqt
  Run: flatpak run io.github.giantpinkrobots.bootqt
Picture
How to Use Bootqt:
Once you get the program installed, you should be ready to start the application. It should appear as Bootqt in your menu.
Picture
Below is an image of the program when you first start it. Click the Select Drive option to select your Thumb Drive or Flash Drive.
Picture
If you have a lot of options and don't know which one is the correct drive, then open your file manager and look at the drive information.
Picture
I can see that my Thumb Drive is called Verbatim in my Caja File Manager.
Picture
I then open Disks in my Control Center and notice the Device is called /dev/sdj.  
Picture
So I select /dev/sdj from the list in Bootqt.  
Picture
Next, click on the Select Image File button to select the .iso or .img you want to flash. A Select an Image file dialog box will appear to allow you to locate and select your image file.
Picture
You will then be prompted with an Are you sure? dialog box.
Picture
You will have to enter your password to continue.
Picture
It will immediately start flashing your drive.
Picture
You will see a small dialog box when the process is finished.
Picture
Bootqt is a great utility for flashing a single USB device. 

I highly recommend that you give Bootqt a try if you're looking for a nice image flashing program.
