I suppose it is possible that something has been broken since I grabbed the 20200110
build. That image did work.
In my case, I see the grub menu, but it is badly messed up, because the escape codes are
apparently not recognized. There is then a several second pause, before the kernel starts
loading. The whole boot process takes about 2 minutes in my setup.
How far does it get when you try it?
I got curious, so I just downloaded Fedora-Xfce-Rawhide-20200127.n.0.aarch64.raw.xz and
tried it. It booted properly on my RPi4 (with 4 GB of ram). I have a working desktop,
and this time, I tried using wifi - it works too.
