I cannot get a Live USB stick to boot on my machine /at all/. Despite having Secure Boot turned off in the BIOS it seems that enabling UEFI also enables Secure Boot. So I turned that off and managed to get to the first screen of a few different distros, but after selecting language or choosing kernel version (whatever the first optio is for that particular distro) my laptop reboots and I end up going round in circles.

Thanks for all the help everyone. Managed to get it to work after re-imaging the USB stick for the umpteenth time with the exact same image. Hope that doesn't mean my (relatively new) Data Traveler stick is dying :(

I had no good advice to give around UEFI and Secure Boot.

System Rescue CD does usb and *might* work out of the box. I can boot the newer/est imacs here with it on a usb stick no probs. Dunno about secure boot.
