Fedora Linux has been obtainable for desktops, servers, and even IoT units. Nevertheless, for those who needed to put in the OS on the Raspberry Pi 4 gadget, you have been out of luck. Till now. With the upcoming launch of Fedora 37, help for the units will may properly lastly change into a actuality. Though not official, it has change into a proposed change and will likely be applied if it receives approval from the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee.
The explanation the Raspberry Pi 4 has but to be supported by Fedora Linux, has been the dearth of accelerated graphics. Nevertheless, with upstream work on the kernel and Mesa (particularly the V3D GPU for each OpenGL-ES and Vulkan), it’s now only a matter of enabling help. The one caveat is that help for Wi-Fi on the Raspberry Pi 400 will not be part of this (though testing for audio help is).
In line with the Raspberry Pi 4 Fedora Wiki Web page, “The help for the Raspberry Pi ecosystem has been an ongoing evolution. The purpose of this variation is to help the Raspberry Pi 4 together with the 4B, the 400, and the CM4 with IO board. Upstream now helps accelerated graphics utilizing the V3D GPU for each OpenGL-ES and Vulkan. There’s additionally enhancement to wired networking with help for PTPv2 on the CM4/4B.”
