I can tell you what I think that I know. Recent Fedora and Ubuntu .iso files can just be dded onto a USB stick and result in a bootable USB stick. Bootable either with UEFI or Legacy mode. That's actually quite a trick. Windows installation .iso images don't have this property. I think they would work when dded onto a CDROM or DVDROM, but (1) I haven't tried it, (2) I think that the image is too big anyway (it was 5.4GiB a year ago) Other programs, like Rufus or Microsoft's Media Creation Tool, do a bunch of transformations. The result (I think) is a VFAT filesystem on the USB stick. The result is bootable. Fedora has Fedora Media Writer. I've never used it. I think that versions will run on Windows, Apple, and selected Linux distros. <https://getfedora.org/en/workstation/download/> Ubuntu recommends Win32 Disk Imager for burning from Windows https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/
