Hides stash of thinkpads…
- Do you flash Libreboot or Canoeboot?
  
  I have used the fedora boot program for my last usb install.
  
  I've not heard of that. Does Fedora have its own coreboot distro, or is it something else?
  
  Ohhh I thought you were talking about flashing software for inputting the iso into the usb like Rufus.
  I haven’t swapped out the BIOS/UEFI firmware before.
  
  Compatibility with Libreboot/Canoeboot seems to be one of the main advantages of certain Thinkpad models, so it might be something to check out. :)
  (For creating a bootable USB drive from a .iso file, can you not simply use the dd command?)
  
  Thanks for letting me know about these options. I haven’t tried the dd command though.
  
  You're welcome! To make a bootable USB drive with dd, the command would be sudo dd if=/path/to/installer.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=1M && sync where the sdX is your actual USB drive.
