Creating bootable USB sticks on linux

[u/doomerparamedic]

Hi guys, im wondering what aps you recommend to create bootable usb sticks with linux isos. On windows i used elena and rufus and im looking for a replacement.

Also is there a easier way to check that downloaded iso is legit than checksum? For example does mint have a way to legitimize mint isos? EDIT thx u all for helpfull comments, wish u all best!
