Flash OS images to SD cards & USB drives, safely and easily.

I ran across this the other day. It did the job in Windows. I have not yet tried the Debian version. It doesn't get much simpler than this in terms of building bootable drive images. https://etcher.io/

I should probably put a warning here: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. These images do not come from Debian. It is built on top of a platform called electron: Build cross platform desktop apps with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. I think that interests me as much as etcher does.

Debian and Ubuntu based Package Repository (GNU/Linux x86/x64)

Add Etcher debian repository:

echo "deb https://dl.bintray.com/resin-io/debian stable etcher" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/etcher.list
Trust Bintray.com's GPG key:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://pgp.mit.edu:80 --recv-keys 379CE192D401AB61
Update and install:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install etcher-electron
Uninstall

sudo apt-get remove etcher-electron
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/etcher.list
[url=https://etcher.io/]https://etcher.io/[/url]sudo apt-get update

Oh yes, etcher!

Some may like it, some don't. ]:D 8)

Anyhow, it's good to know about it at least.
