For Linux: (Use your 3.x OS) Since it's only a 4gig drive no need to write a partition. Use disk tools or gparted to zero the drive and then format to fat32. Right click on the downloaded ISO and select "write to disk" Select your USB drive and *rewrite the downloaded ISO to it. I have yet to understand why this is such a constant problem for users who already have Ubuntu or Debian Linux running, and/or while running Ubuntu or Debian Linux one would need extra software (Etcher, Unetbootin, etc.) to write Ubuntu or Debian Linux ISOs to USBs with. The write to disk function is available in the GUI from right click in Linux file managers (Thunar in this case). Puzzles me why other methods and software are so often used by Linux users. It's been so long I can't even remember when I started writing ISOs to USBs in Debian this way, maybe circa Deb 7, but I haven't had a failure for years and often re-used (zeroed and reformatted) USBs, and I've also done it in Ubuntu that way for a few years now too. I don't think its luck.
