rufus is a windows program and won't run on Linux Mint or any other linux distro.

Might be helpful if you posted the error message, but there are linux apps that will make bootable usb drives. You can even use dd from the command line to do it. Not sure about Mint, the “Startup Disk Creator” application is included with Ubuntu.

Welcome to LQ forums.

I would recommend using Etcher.

Download from:
