KDE users swear by k3b, others (such as me) use xfburn
Otherwise use the command line:
1. insert target USB stick
2. type: dmesg and look for the link to the newly-inserted device - sdb for example
3. type: dd if= of=/dev/sdb
Notes:
!! BE VERY CAREFUL to get the path correct such as /dev/sdb !! The dd command does not ask for confirmation and it does wipe the target.
You need to be root to run dd.

No other option with a gui?
I really like opensuse’s imagewriter a great tool and at Arch available, even in debian testing.

Try rosa image writer
