Yet the first video on Youtube shows that you can boot from USB https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EARdWsgvAXo

I give the benefit of doubt that the person just didn't know how to do it (also the source is this single Amazon review? Pretty low for HN tbh)

Here is another video with Ubuntu https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ap386n98j0U

There is even a Hackintosh tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpJmttuumVU

/r/linux_gaming also have several positive threads

Edit: And of course I'm instantly downvoted
