Hi,

you can use the regular Ubuntu flavour DVD images. Use software such as

https://balena.io/etcher

or

https://www.ventoy.net/en/index.html

to get a bootable USB stick.

I'm using the xubuntu-20.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso with Ventoy. It's a
persistence install and I can add other images, too.

If you use BalenaEtche, you don't get a persistence install and you can
use only a single image, but BalenaEtcher is self-explaining easy to
use, while Ventoy requires a little bit of reading.

Regards,
Ralf
