In theory it should be as simple as copying the contents of an ISO over onto a USB stick. In practice that seems to generally not work.

https://github.com/slacka/WoeUSB is an alternate method. In practice it probably requires:

sudo woeusb --target-filesystem NTFS --device /path/to/Image.iso /dev/yourUSB

You can also use Rufus, but as of this writing there is a known bug that will likely cause failure if using their NTFS UEFI driver, so you have to use Rufus 3.9 or earlier. WoeUSB uses Rufus' driver and the current version suffers from the same issue as a result.

Any use of things that use this driver (Rufus, WoeUSB) will require Secure Boot being disabled to install in UEFI mode.

See T94 for a log of tribulations.
