From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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.

I recently installed Silverblue alongside Windows and ran into this as well. I haven’t found a way to run the actual OS off the USB stick.
