Fedora Silverblue Live USB?

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.

You can absolutely install it on a USB drive.

But to do so, you need to boot up the installer and proceed with the installation process from your (other) USB drive. AFAIK there is no live+persistent mode on the official ISOs.

  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.
I installed Kinoite relatively recently and also noted that I could not run it live
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.
