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.
