But I think you said that USB shows up as an option in the BIOS setup menu?
If it's there, *it can do it.*
You just need to find out the limitations of what media it supports.
It may be USB 1 only, or a maximum size, or something.
Secondly, as I said, the Plop boot manager will do it, and that is one
of the main things I used it for.

I recommend Raspberry Pi Desktop as a very low-end Linux desktop for
32-bit machines now.

This is the x86-32 version of the OS for the RasPi single-board computers.
It *is* Debian but heavily cut down.

Which bug is that?
Have you checked that you are on the latest BIOS? It seems to be v5.60:
