Best program to format USB drive and turn into bootable stick.

I am wanting to put Linux onto a USB drive for USB boot on my new PC im building. This is my only other computer and apparently Apple doesnt like people formatting and turning USB sticks into bootable drives for whatever reason. Iv already read the steps to manually make a boot stick. Is there a program that I can use that can convert a IMG file to the needed files and then "burn" them onto a USB stick? Or do I need to just sell my MBA and get a Windows machine again? Lmao
