using rufus I created a dd but it will not boot

I'm absolutely sure it's not an issue with the ISO. Thoudsands of users have tested the ISO is fine.

Might because the BIOS didn't pick your USB stick. Can you share the motherboard SKU so I can search for documents about how to setup the one time booting for your USB?

You can reply as a helpful community member, without contradicting the maintainer:

You could also try recreating the USB with Rufus using DD Image mode, then check the BIOS/UEFI boot settings and make sure the USB device is detected in the one-time boot menu.

If it still doesn't boot, sharing the motherboard/laptop model and whether the system is using UEFI or Legacy/CSM would help narrow down the issue.
