Is there any successful experience of booting the OS from a USB 3.0 flash drive via a USB 3.0 port?

Greetings!
USB 3.0 flash drives have appeared on sale, and new motherboards have long been equipped with new nimble USB 3.0 ports.
The idea arose to purchase a flash drive of a new standard for launching (liveusb) and installing operating systems from it.
Is there any successful experience of booting the OS from a USB 3.0 flash drive via a USB 3.0 port?

I don’t know how in general, but on the thinkpad T430 and fujitsu ultrabook, the seventh Windows did not want to be installed from a USB flash drive in port 3.0. Plugging into 2.0 everything was fine

If the mother supports booting from a flash drive, there is no problem, if there is USB3.0, then she probably supports it xD
There are no “special” spells in the boot area of the USB3.0 flash drive, they are the same as in 2.0.

On a DNS nettop, the 2k10 distribution is loaded perfectly. After booting, the flash drive falls off, since there is no port support in the liveCD itself. Flash drive: Corsair Survior.

I beg your pardon. Accidentally answered in "clarify the question". I'll duplicate it here.
ArchLinux and ubuntu installed perfectly from a USB 3.0 stick through a USB 3.0 hub.

Problems can only be with older OS distributions that do not have drivers for USB 3.0 ports.
In practice, I only had problems installing hackintosh 10.7.x, I had to use a USB 2.0 port.
