I tried to walk a friend through using Windows 10 to create a bootable Linux USB disk, so they'd install their first Linux box.
Debian (and FreeBSD) recommend win32diskimager. Arch suggested a few other tools, of which I tried Rufus 3.19 and "dd for windows". The first and third didn't work at all; the second worked once but not again on the same image. Rather than try a fourth tool, I went ahead and created the bootable USB disk for my friend myself using good old dd(8) on one of my existing Linux machines. Now I wonder how a random Windows user is supposed to bootstrap themselves a bootable Linux USB disk. Perhaps my experience is not representative.
