This rufus?

https://github.com/pbatard/rufus/wiki/FAQ#do-you-plan-to-port-rufus-to-linuxmac-ossome-other-os

I have used it on Windows at some point and yeah, it's handy; but 
the author makes a point of it being OSS but heavily dependent on 
Windows' APIs.
So, I am really not aware of it being available for Linux either.
