I run 19.1 Cinnamon on my dedicated Linux computer.
Ok then you are up on it. I just moved from 18.3 to the newest 20.x and so far like it. If you are creating the USB stick from windows then use the Rufus to make sure it is bootable both BIOS and UEFI. If you are creating it from Linux then use the USB stick formatter and the USB image writer.
I remember I turned you onto linux, So please feel free to ask away at any time.
