Hi,
just out of interest, I tried Fedora 42 Beta image on Raspberry Pi 4
with 2GB RAM and it was, well, more than sluggish. Their OS based on
the Debian Bookworm was lightning fast, using the same SD card and all
the hardware for both images.
Then I thought Raspberry Pi 5 with 8GB RAM would be better, after all
2GB is not suitable for Fedora for quite some time (a lower limit is
like not being suitable). It was even more sluggish than the 2GB
version (maybe because the arm image writer does not understand "rpi5"
argument?). I waited for multiple minutes and the only thing I saw was
slowly changing text screen full of
```
[ OK ] Started service abc
[ OK ] Started service efg
[ OK ] ....
```
and it was more frozen than doing anything, sometimes frozen even in
the middle of writing the line of the text. The same Debian Bookworm
derivative booted into the desktop in less than 30 seconds for sure,
even maybe less than 20 seconds, but I did not measure that precisely.
I used the same arm image writer for both Fedora and Debian, on Fedora.
The thing is, if I understand it correctly, the two systems might be
comparable in resource requirements, but the Fedora is a complete
failure from the user point of view.
What am I doing wrong?
There are not that many things to customize when it comes to it, the
image is written to an SD card, inserted and booted, I do not modify
there anything, still the Raspberry Pi OS works like a charm and
Fedora... not.
Bye,
Milan
