One bit of hardware that doesn't work out of the box is the microphone input on the 3.5mm jack. It's an easy workaround though. As root, edit "''/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf''", add "''options snd-hda-intel model=dell-headset-multi''" to the end of it, and then reboot.

Note that the Fingerprint Reader does work with Pop!_OS 22.04.

Insert the USB drive into your powered off Framework Laptop, and then power on. If you have an existing OS installed on the Storage drive in your laptop, you'll need to tap F12 as you boot to bring up the Boot Manager screen. You can then select the EFI USB Device item with your arrow keys and hit Enter.

If you don't have an internal storage drive installed or it is blank, the laptop will boot to the USB drive directly.

Hit Enter again to test the media and boot into Fedora.

After a few seconds, you're in! If you just want to try Fedora out, you can click on the Try Fedora button and browse through the live USB version of it without touching the internal storage drive. If you do want to install Fedora to the internal storage drive, go on to the next step.
