Yep, good memory (and the dd method is pretty simple,
thankfully).
The official documentation is:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/creating-and-using-a-live-installation-image/#_using_a_direct_write_method
and uses:
dd if=/path/to/image.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=8M status=progress oflag=direct
Other than the addition of status and oflag, it's (more or
less) identical to yours. Those just make it mildly nicer
to watch, largely.
