I'm having trouble writing an ISO to a USB drive. I've tried using the dd command, the built-in live USB maker in AntiX, and even Rufus on a school computer. I know the USB drive is fine and the methods worked previously with another ISO, but the current one just won't transfer. I even redownloaded the ISO, but it's still not working. Can anyone suggest other methods or solutions?

You might want to check out Balena Etcher—it’s very user-friendly and often works better for writing ISOs to USBs.
If you're using the dd command, can you let us know the exact command you entered? It might help figure out what's wrong.
I just bought a USB stick that already had Mint 22.2 Cinnamon pre-installed from a Linux vendor. It worked perfectly for me, and he even included a CD with useful Linux info.
Which ISO are you trying to write? Have you checked the SHA256 checksum to make sure the file isn't corrupted?
Have you tried using `sudo cp yourfile.iso /dev/sdX`? Just replace 'X' with the correct letter for your USB device. You could also try `sudo cat yourfile.iso > /dev/sdX`. If that doesn't work, consider using Ventoy, it's super simple to set up.
