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.
