I would like to give a suggestion for a tool to create bootable pendrives and tool to format pendrives.
I would like to know if Peppermint has any program similar to MintStick to format pendrives and create Linux Distribution Isos?
Or would it be possible to create a Fork of MintStick?
Installed .deb package, in this link: http://packages.linuxmint.com/pool/main/m/mintstick/
I have already installed MintStick in Peppermint, it works very well, even an item is created in the menu.
Greetings!

Thank you for your suggestion.
When we migrated to Debian, we dropped Mintstick as it was primary a Ubuntu repo, plus did not want to fork it or be responsible for it upkeep, as it is not offered in the Debian repos.

Gnome Disk stays infinitely at 00%, I wait about 5 minutes and close Gnome Disk to check if it was written correctly. Gnome Disks in Xfce doesn't work properly, this Bug also happened in Debian 11 Xfce.

dd is also there as well, its terminal based.
The first step is to identify the storage devices (apart from your target device) that are already attached to your PC. This is to ensure that you make no error in selecting your target disk as such an error can cause you to lose all your data on your hard disk.
Run the following command –ls /dev/sd*
Now insert your target storage device and rerun the above command – ls /dev/sd*
Now that we know our target device location, we will have to navigate to the folder that contains our source ISO.
The last thing to do is to finally use the dd command to write the ISO image to the target device. Please note that dd will delete all files from your target device. Run the command as below – sudo dd if=your.iso of=/dev/yourdevice status=progress
hope that helps

never had any issues with gnome disks, ddcopy is good too and etcher works in an emergency.
rosa is another option but its a pain to use as it needs to be run as root.

and what about using ddcopy ?
I use this one exclusively for years now without any failures
ddcopy use on PCLinuxOS, works very well.
