Startup Disk Creator does exist on Ubuntu 22.04.

see https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-creator/0.3.13

What output do you receive when you execute
/usr/bin/usb-creator-gtk
or
/usr/bin/usb-creator-kde
in a terminal window?

You might try using dd to burn the iso to the USB. That should work if the ISO checksum was OK and no USB write errors.

The current live image is for testing Ubuntu only to see which bugs are present in the development stage.
Yes it is... Ubuntu release is no until next month which it may be included in the final release April 2022.
 Ubuntu ubuntu-22.04 2022-04-21 Final release of Ubuntu 22.04
That you may re-download the final version and re-install the new stable version of Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
after the final release date, then it will have the proper keys and release file for updates.
If you are making an .iso to use for installing on a USB. Always use Etcher..
Etcher checks the checksum for you... https://www.balena.io/etcher/
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS is still under development.. May still have bugs..
Other mean while you may submit a bug report: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Apport

Maybe the problem is that it is a Dell 5755.
Does anybody have a suggestion for a laptop that works with Ubuntu 22.04?

"Does anybody have a suggestion for a laptop that works with Ubuntu 22.04?"
I guess you are misinterpreting what you see.

Almost all laptop/desktop/tower/... computers are able to run all Ubuntu releases. I severely doubt that a Dell 5755 would be incapable of running Ubuntu 22.04.
The problem must be something else.

Where exactly do you get the problem? During copying the iso file to the USB stick, or when trying to install using the stick?

 I suggest to go step by step.

1. Decide, which Ubuntu release you want to install, currently reasonable choices are 20.04 LTS, 21.10 and 22.04 (currently in pre-release status, final publication on April 21st, 2022)

2. Download the iso file for the version that you want to a directory on your hard disk

3. Execute a checksum test to verify whether the download is correct.

4. "Burn" the iso file to the USB stick.

How far did you get with that?
Where do you get error messages?

Remarks:
"Could not write the disk image (/home/ptosis/Downloads/ubuntu-20.04.4-desktop-amd64.iso to the device (/dev/sdb)"
This may indicate that the USB stick is defective. Have you tried other operations with that USB stick, e.g. writing files to it?

"Make Startup Disk doesn't even see the DVD at all"
For writing a DVD you need a different program, e.g. brasero
see https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/burn-a-dvd-on-ubuntu#1-getting-started
