   I wound up ftping the iso to the Windows laptop and using rufus. I didn't   
   have any success with Etcher on Ubuntu. Since then I created a Ventoy USB   
   stick and put the Endeavour iso on it but haven't used it for an   
   installation. Ventoy/LM Cinnamon went well.   
      
   Ubuntu has a native USB burner but it seems designed for propagating   
   Ubuntu.
