Hello guys,
is Raspberry Pi 4 officially supported by Fedora? Both docs[1] and wiki[2] don't mention Pi 4 as supported. The wiki even says that "We do not (as of 30th October 2019) support the Raspberry Pi 4 in any Fedora release."[3]
On the other hand, I tried writing a Fedora image onto an SD card and booting an RPI 4 from it and it worked flawlessly. So maybe the docs and wiki are just outdated?
Cheers,
Ondřej

No, they're not out of date. By working flawlessly you don't outline the hardware options you tested. There's still issues with USB on some devices, WiFi on some devices, accelerated video and related things on any device. The enablement of various components on the device is improving but we're not at a point where actually it does actually "work flawlessly" which for a lot of newbies is a problem and causes a lot of support requests of the maintainer (AKA me) and hence why it's still not "officially supported"

Ondřej -- if you'd like to document the current status of what works for you and help keep it up to date as things change, I'm sure that would be appreciated (and help take some of that work off of Peter).

I would prefer if the support status remains unsupported until all the bits are there for the average user. The rest of the details should already be up to date.
