And allow me to put it this way:

FOR ME, only the 'dd' approach has worked to create a LiveUSB. Both
UNetbootin and USB Disk Creator failed.

With good guidance, one should not worry too much from 'dd'. Teach them the
right way, no errors should occur :)

Write a note that "be extra careful when you use the dd command" is a very
good idea :)

Not to mention, there is now a GUI way:

Thank you!
