Thanks for posting detailed instruction. And for the pull request for

Does anyone have an idea what the difference livecd-iso-to-disk make,
compared to isohybrid? If possible, we'd like to installation iso work
out of the box on UEFI systems, including new ones...
I wonder if Fedora netinst iso (_not_ Live iso) boot on such new
hardware, after directly dd-ing it to USB stick. Can you check that?
Just see if installer starts. It's here:
https://alt.fedoraproject.org/
If that would work, I can try to find what is different about those
images and fix Qubes iso.
