Easiest/best way to make bootable USB on Linux (lemmy.ml)

What is the preferred way to make a bootable USB drive on Linux these days? I want to try a couple of distros on my very old mother's PC before installing. When I googled it, I only found ways to do it in Windows. Perhaps my Google-fu is off? So I thought: why not ask Lemmy?

In Mint Xfce there's an accessory called USB Image Writer that does the trick. I'm guessing it's in some other distros as well.
