install an OS on an empty Mac Pro 5.1

Hello, I have a Mac Pro 5.1 with 4 disks of 500gb HDDs, the 4 disks are empty so without OS. I would like to know how to use a windows/linux bootable key to install an os on it. (Configuring the bootable key and how to boot it with mac pro 5.1)

asahi linux could work but if that doesn't work you really can't do much besides el capitan
