I'd also add a couple of arguments - oflag=sync and status=progress

  dd if=debian-live-13.7.0-amd64-lxqt.iso of=dev/sdX obs=4M oflag=sync 
status=progress

that allows for the data to be synced as it is written to the USB stick and
also shows progress on a long write.

It's quite handy when you're writing one of the longer images on a slow

All the very best, as ever,

Thank Cater!  Your command looks more professional.

i have thought of using cp, but cp doesn't allow you to specify how many bytes to be copied
