I'm running Fedora Workstation 28. What software can I use to install a

There are many others but install the mediawriter package to get the
official Fedora utility.
Tried this, but it doesn't appear to have made it bootable
dd if=/path/to/image.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=8M status=progress oflag=direct
where "/dev/sdX" should be your USB thumb
Verify the image is undamaged after download, umount all partitions on
the USB stick; and before running dd be *very* careful with the
"of=/dev/sdX" (i.e. /dev/sdc, /dev/sdd, or whatever) part: replace sdX
with the *correct* device name for your USB stick. Mess up that drive
name and you might be in for lots of fun with re-installing everything
of what you just destroyed.
To check the correct drive: maybe "lsblk -f"
Fedora doc on the subject (search for "Using a direct write method")
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/creating-and-using-a-live-installation-image/index.html
If the stick turns out to be unbootable maybe try another one.
If in doubt - don't do it at all!
