How to install mintstick on Kubutu 20.04?

[fhins]

I've been searching, but have not found any good information about how to install "mintstick" safely on Kubutu 20.04. Is there a safe way to install that without taking a chance of messing up the system, and how?

There are many options for USB sticks other than this tool, but the easiest (only?) way to get mintstick is to find a .deb file for the version that is for the latest Mint, which is based on Ubuntu 20.04, and double click it?

The latest is version 1.4.4, which iirc is for Linux Mint Ulyana (20) which is *buntu 20.04.



This is nothing special over other tools that do the same thing, such as K(U)buntu's own usb-creator-kde, which should already be installed iirc.
I favor Balena Etcher, as I am still waiting for it to make a bad USB stick Been using it since ~2017. it is not in any repo, and is an appimage, so click-to-run
Every other GUI tool I have used for any length of time has failed me regularly, for at least a short amount of time.

That's great. Thanks a lot for that!
