this is NOT windows!

as default dracut generates a gegenric initramfs as long
you do not configure it with hostonly="yes"

* there is no hard-wired video configuration
* there is no hard-waired sound configuration
* there is no hard-wired hard-drive controller
* there is ESPECIALLY no hard-wired ethernet

what do you imagine why a live-usb boots on nearly any hardware?
there is no "live-harwdare-support", the main component of a
live-media is the preconfigurd desktop etc.
