I stopped using programs like etcher for flashing iso's after i found out you can just run

cp /path/to/your/file/example.iso /dev/[insert device here]

For example

sudo cp ./Downloads/archlinux-2023-09-01.iso /dev/sdb

I love it because it just works on any linux machine, always. Of course, this is maybe not fit for your usecase.

You can also use dd, tee or even echo, the archwiki has a good section on flashing iso's.

I always love the many little implications of this genius "everything is a file"-architecture. Thank you Ken Thompson.
