I went ahead and ordered a USB-C to Ethernet adapter which also give you 3 regular USB ports. I was having to use Fedora Media Writer to put F32 on my ONLY USB-C compatible stick and then restore it so I could copy the board file over. Got too tedious. Ethernet will make it a lot easier to get updates and perhaps install reFIND so I can get it to boot linux without having to use the Windows Advanced Recovery method.
