You can also use dd to copy the usb stick back to a file, and compare the two files with cmp.  (The original iso file should be an initial segment of the stick copy.) Maybe you can use cmp to directly compare the iso and the usb device, but I've never done it that way.  --Stephen

Instead of Media Writer, you could try using dd to write the iso to
the stick - something like "lsblk" to identify the device for the USB
stick and then "sudo dd if=Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-37-1.7.iso
of=/dev/sdX bs=1m" where /dev/sdX is the USB stick.  I've always used
dd like this and I have never had a problem booting off of the
resulting USB stick.
