    The live USB maker has not given trouble for months to years, so long I am unable to
    remember any issues.

    Faulty or fake USB sticks and bad downloads are cause of most isssues.
    USB hubs a close second.

    In your first screenshot you tried to write to dev sda.
    In another I see two devices one with nobara, a gamers linux with a reputation for giving
    inexperienced users trouble. Many confusing 32 and 64 bit efi boot entrys.

    Anyway, please give more useful info.
    Did you check your download, pls use F3 to check your USB stick.
    Result please.

    Ensure you set the correct target device to write to, that is unlikely to be /dev/sda

    Use the modern kernel to boot when running live on a newer device.

    Please post output of

    sudo fdisk -l and sudo lsblk so we get an idea what your drive setup looks like
