Unetbootin almost never works for me.
Try using Rufus or Etcher.

You'll need to be aware of the difference between legacy and UEFI mode possibly in order to boot.
I would suggest the LTS version of kubuntu.
Edit: I don't believe they have a smaller network installer. The dollar store has large drives in my area.
I know that my system is UEFI as checking this was part of the installation instructions (I believe) . I'll check out the two alternatives that you mentioned. Thanks!
If you find you must have a smaller installer, I've had pretty good success with the network installer for openSUSE but kubuntu offers a better out of the box experience.

Edit: just make sure you select KDE as your window manager if you go this path.
