Trying to boot Fedora on a boring old x86 laptop... so I used Fedora Media Writer to write the image to USB, then hit F9 for boot options.
The drive doesn't show up as a boot option.
BIOS is set to legacy mode, no secure boot, nothing. It just doesn't even try to read from the USB drive.
I guess installing Asahi on Macs is officially easier than installing Linux on PCs... at least some PCs, anyway.
