Is it not possible to run Fedora Silverblue in live boot like other distros? I wanted to test it on my laptop before installing. The laptop currently runs ZorinOS.

I downloaded the ISO from the Fedora website - here. When I try booting from the USB it only gives me the option for installing it.

Edit: I’m looking for a live+persistent mode. My wording wasn’t great.

    Is there reason why it has to live+persistent? You can always use a VM to install it to your USB, so you won’t need two drives. You can then boot from that USB on your real PC too.

      My laptop is not very powerful so using a VM isn’t a great idea. I wanted to use the USB in order to boot into Fedora Silverblue before installing it so I could play around and see how it feels.

        You’re only going to use the VM to install Silverblue to the USB. Once it’s on the USB you can use boot it on your real PC to test it out.

          You can use sshd/sshfs to transfer files from a vm to another system, or even another vm.

          You can shrink the installations partition to 90-95% used space, unmount the target, use dd –> tar.xz/lz/gz then the reverse to a new slightly larger partition, check enlarge whatever, configure, even the UUID of the partition transfers, so even grub.cfg/limine.cfg/lilo/syslinux all work just install in MBR or efi and reboot.
