This should work on all linux systems,
first you want to find the name of your device run
lsblk
it should give you a list of drives on your system look for the one with the appropriate size and rember the final letters should be something like sdb or mmcblk0,
Then if your file just has .img at the end then just run this
sudo dd bs=1M if=<your image file> of=/dev/sdx # < your drive
but if has .img.gz then you need to run this first to uncompress it to .img
tar -xf Armbian_24.5.0_amlogic_s905w_bullseye_6.1.87_server_2024.05.02.img.gz
There are meny graphical imagers available but i would recomend Raspberry Pi Imager as its reliable and works well rufus is anouther good option for windows users
