1Also: UEFI only USB key, just extract ISO ( 7 zip or similar) to FAT32 formatted flash drive partition & set boot flag. http://askubuntu.com/questions/395879/how-to-create-uefi-only-bootable-usb-live-media and: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/mkusb or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Win32DiskImager/iso2usb – oldfred Jun 08 '19 at 18:23

3It could also be great that you give more details on what you have tried. "I have tried everything" sounds a bit vague :) – FloT Jun 08 '19 at 20:11

This is quite easy, you can use the dd
command in the terminal.
dd
is used to create exact copies of files/partitions/drives into another file/partition/drive, for example:
You could create a backup (copy) of an entire drive into a file called sda.backup with the next command
sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=sda.backup
But in your case, you should do the opposite, restore the image (OS-Name.iso) into a drive (the USB flash drive), to do so you should use a command like this one:
sudo dd if=/path/to/the/image/OS.iso of=/dev/sdX
The X means the letter of the drive, you can find out with the next command (although it's usually b):
sudo fdisk -l

You could also add status=progress
since it takes a while to copy the iso
sudo dd if=file.iso of=/dev/<usb drive> status=progress
if you dont know where is your usb drive, use the lsblk
command in terminal
