yes, rufus is OK.
But, from my experience, Linux bootable isos are better created with YUMI exFAT ▷ Multiboot USB Bootable Media Creation Tool (yumiusb.com)
don't care that it's a multiboot installer, it could be perfectly used for 1 OS installer too.
There is a convinient list of what you want to put onto usb with choice from common OS (windows & linux distros) or tools like for partition management etc.
