I tried to dd R4.2.2 x86_64 to USB stick and it results in an invalid GPT on the USB. And it wont boot. I verified the checksum and I tried 3 different USB sticks. Help!

What command did you use? Maybe you removed the USB before it finished the sync?
The docs suggests to use this command:
$ sudo dd if=Qubes-RX-x86_64.iso of=/dev/sdY status=progress bs=1048576 conv=fsync

Did you re-verify installation media after writing?

I have used the proper dd command, and I verified after writing. When I insert the USB I get this in dmesg:
GPT:Primary header thinks Alt. header is not at the end of the disk.
GPT:13471195 != 60628991
GPT:Alternate GPT header not at the end of the disk.
GPT:13471195 != 60628991
GPT: Use GNU Parted to correct GPT errors.
This is expected warning, you can just ignore it.
This shouldn’t be the reason why it’s not booting for you.
Do you have Secure Boot disabled in your BIOS?
I’ve never encountered that GPT error from any other distro before. But ok.
I did get it to boot on a different computer. So it must be my computer’s fault. Perhaps Secure Boot is the problem as you say. thank you!
