Hey all. We have a program to help get Fedora OS more broadly tested on ARM hardware. We have some budget to supply small devices directly to project contributors who are working on Fedora Spins. If this would help you, let me know (off-list). I'll need your shipping address and which device (or possibly devices) you could use from this list:
Jetson NX Jetson Nano Pinebook Pro RockPro64
The Raspberry Pi 400 is also an option, but be aware that this is not going to be magic and smooth and probably doesn't even work right now, so I'd prefer to reserve those for people with experience in hardware enablement.
I would be happy to test Mate-Compiz spin with RockPro64. Is this a complete box with case + power adapter, or only a motherboard? And little first instructions to install an arm image would be helpful I will send you my shipping address to you fedora mail address.
regards Wolfgang Ulbrich

Just the boards, I think. If the power supply and case are a hardship, let me know (again off list, and no judgment ... we want Fedora contribution to be accessible to everyone).

Hopefully those will be in place for all of these... that's part of the initiative of identifying a limited set of specific systems.
I'm looking to get one RockPro64 to test the ARM container images options with podman/cri-o.
I could also test our i3wm spin that it's in the making.
