There are other methods for Windows:

https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Create_a_Live_USB_stick_using_macOS

On Windows, you can use Etcher: <https://etcher.balena.io/>

or Rufus: <https://rufus.ie/en/>

or ImageUSB: <https://www.osforensics.com/tools/write-usb-images.html>

or SUSE Studio ImageWriter:

found) (obsolete method, not maintained)
