My stupid Lenovo “Thinkpad” UEFI doesnt have a real F12 devices menu.

It just shows registered UEFI targets that can be booted.

This is pretty catastrophic, somehow I got Fedora and Windows installed, but thats it. If something breaks, I am in trouble. I cant do a memtest86 even though I think my RAM is faulty.

So in Linux, is there a way to add an UEFI entry to boot just any USB stick? Or to boot a specific one, like with Ventoy on it?

Thanks!

      Weird, suddenly, after like 20 tries, I can boot any media? Wtf?

      Yes I could select the boot order but only for the UEFI entries (Fedora, Linux firmware updater, Windows Boot manager)

      Not for plugged in devices. I never saw the name of my NVME for example, now suddenly its there?

      I hate this proprietary garbage Bios so much, I cant wait to get a Clevo NV41MZ and flash dasharo on that, then try Heads.
