How ti Use Linux DD Command to make ISO Bootable on USB Drive
  / use-unix-dd-command-to-os-bootable-on-usb-...  

You can have a look at the partitions and file systems on the system with this command:

sudo fdisk -l

After then confirming which is your target drive, and unmounting ($ umount /dev/sdb*) it, we need to format the unmounted drive. Let’s do this formatting with:

sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb
or
sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb1

Navigate to Downloads folder

cd ~/Downloads

then you can ls (list / take a look at) your file with:
$ ls *.iso

Use this command to start process.
sudo dd if=name-of-iso.iso of=/dev/sdb status="progress"

It will take 10-15 minutes.
