With 8 GB the Pi4 finally has enough memory to be a fairly satisfactory

I suggest following up on the thread I mentioned, then.  They have a
UEFI boot and anaconda working.  I just chose the simplest method of
copying the exisitng Fedora aarch64 image to an SD card, since I have
a more limited requirements than you.

Even with 8GB of RAM, the system isn't exactly fast, particularly with
slow media.  Unless they can get an NVME connector, it's going to be a
slow workstation.

Jonathan,

Besides offering far more RAM than its predecessors, the Pi 4 can boot and run from a thumb drive which is substantially faster than an old microSD card. Not a gaming machine, but a good (and tiny) alternative to desktop PCs.
