Okay,
Nothing short of amazing work. Kudos+ to the devs and all that made this work. I've been a UNIX/Linux C/C++ developer (professionally) for 23 years now; I recognize excellence when I see it. My Pi-4 never ran this good. Clocked to 2100 MHz it runs triple duty as an internal web/media server, secondary name server and primary caching proxy via Apache Traffic Server at speeds I wouldn't have expected from such a modest device.
Again, Kudos (hats off, bow down) to the developers that made this happen!

Thanks for the feedback, it was a nice start to the day. We of course still have a way to go but I felt it's got to a great space!

Hi Peter, and all,
I'm not kidding. I was concerned at first about the Fedora + RPi 4b union since it was a rocky start - for me anyway. On F-36 I got stuck on a 5.17 kernel and could NOT move forward. Didn't have the time cycles to dig in myself and was contemplating switching to Arch or Manjaro. I decided to give the new F-37 release a spin before doing that and was surprised at how well it runs. I realize that the ARM/aarch64 platform is secondary to x86_64 so I do understand the lag. Further, the RPi has some uniqueness with regard to I/O options that are not found on x86 workstations and servers, so there was some effort put in here that is noteworthy. Y'all have done some good work here. Wish I had the time to help out!
Once again, kudos!!!

Could you give more details on why you got got stuck on 5.17?

aarch64 is not secondary to x86, they're both primary architectures.

But yes, the rpi as a whole is very dependent on upstream status and where/when they choose to land that so a lot of it is out of our control. The architecture as a whole is very much at feature parity generally with x86.
noteworthy. Y'all have done some good work here. Wish I had the time to help out!
