Noob Question: Is there a need to verify ISO if I downloaded file via Fedora Media Writer
Fedora Media Writer's repository contains this document on the subject: https://github.com/FedoraQt/MediaWriter/blob/main/CRYPTOGRAPHY.md

Fedora Media Writer has a very broken UI when using spanish
That's because it has been fixed already. The translatable string changed in this commit, and the translation tool apparently automatically mapped the old translation to it with a "Needs Editing" tag.

Rufus: The Reliable USB Formatting Utility
For anyone complaining that there is no nice GUI for dd on Linux and macOS, I recently discovered Fedora Media Writer [1] which works great for this job. Despite it’s name, it can be used with any ISO just like dd.

Reviving someone's old FOSS Project. Hope to have a release soon! ;)
FWIW, the Fedora Media Writer works with any distribution's images, just select the "custom image" option and point it to whatever ISO you have.

Best way to get files off corrupted/inaccessible drive?
Linux on a USB large enough to hold your files. Linux does not care what OS made the file. You mat be able to Boot from the USB. Access the BIOS and try it. UNetbootin can also be used to load various system utilities. https://unetbootin.github.io/

Install Fedora 38 without any USB or CD.
I think UNetbootin could create a bootable installer directly from your current drive.

Flashed ISO using dd on mac and this happened…
This is what you want. Bootcamp is the old way to do it. You want to use This for making a usb

Shifting From Ubuntu
You want to test out? Get a live image. You can put it on a bootable flash drive, too (e.g., unetbootin). Changes to the computer then require your explicit consent. (If the Ubuntu partition is encrypted, you might not access the data from an other Linux except with the credentials, though.)

I tried making a Manjaro os bootable flashdrive.
I have sometimes had problems with ubuntus and mints image writer. I have found the dd method to be more effective. Since the dd command has the potential to be dangerous you really want to make sure that the usb destination location is correct. dd will write over any drive you tell it to indiscriminately! If the dd option is not something you feel comfortable with there are other options as there are other live usb image writers out there for linux. I have used and liked unetbootin
