The document I was specifically referring to is

which as I said assumes one is running Gnome.
Here are the explicit instructions:
1. Download a Fedora image, choose a USB stick
that does not contain any data you need, and connect it
2. Run Nautilus (Files) - for instance, open the Overview
by pressing the Start/Super key, and type Files, then hit enter
3. Find the downloaded image, right-click on it, go to Open With,
and click Disk Image Writer
4. Double-check you're really, really sure you don't need
any of the data on the USB stick!
5. Select your USB stick as the Destination, and click Start Restoring...
6. Wait for the operation to complete, then reboot your computer,
and do whatever you need to do to boot from a USB stick -
often this will involve pressing or holding down F12, F2 or Del.
