I can’t install Balena Etcher (Unable to run AppImage or install on Ubuntu 24.04. · Issue #4242 · balena-io/etcher · GitHub). And please don’t say dd – I’m looking for GUI to run from KDE.
I can’t figure out what’s the best app for this?

You could try this ISOImageWriter - KDE Community Wiki
I haven’t tried it and don’t use Kubuntu but I normally use OpenSuse Image Writer but am unsure if it is in the repos for Kubuntu
Humm. It wasn’t available through apt but I got it working with snap. Thanks!

I suggest you look into Ventoy. Once you’ve got a USB that boots, one just copies the iso to it. I’ve used the same one for about 4 years.

Etcher has debs or a PPA somewhere, In have used it that way in the past. But they seem to hide info on it?
An Appimage fix should work, I think. I have not tested it myself.
Ventoy is a great and popular tool that makes things as simple as drag-n-drop. I usually use dd, but Ventoy allows for multiple ISOs on a single flash drive, including Windows. It is a good way to have a few rescue tools and the like available in one place.
And of course dd is always available as a last resort 
Yes, ever since I discovered ventoy, I use only that: https://www.ventoy.net/en/index.html

I tried Ventoy and KDE’s ISO image writer, and was successful with both.
Hi,
As already suggest try to download the Etcher for Linux x64 (64-bit) (AppImage)
balenaEtcher Web site
If you’re already running kubuntu, why not usb-creator-kde?
