Image burner and USB thumb formatter? (lemmy.ml)

Is there any image burner and USB thumb formatter you would recommend me? obviously libre and for Linux. I've tried a couple from my distro's store but they don't work on my thumb or they are broken or outdated.

0h, okay, i forgot t0 say that i would prefer something with a gui since im pretty much a noob using the cli, can i format a usb to use it back a normal one with that, too? cos i have a really big one which hasnt been used for some time because of that

yes, you can format it using dd, but you'd have to manually partition it and install the file system etc

may i then recommend balena etcher for burning os images, it has a nice gui, worked perfectly every time i used it

and for formatting maybe gparted

both are very popular, and should be in the official repos of your os :)
