Exactly how did you copy the image onto the USB stick - what command did
you use and did you wait until it had copied fully?

Andy, I did wait till it was done indeed. I copied the image to the USB with:
dd if=/home/luben/Downloads/debian-live-11.5.0-amd64-gnome.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=8M; sync
I tried it without the:
bs=8M; sync
as well.
Thanks,
Luben
