IoT Help Wanted Fedora 31 Talking Points

Project Discussion
1

Hi team,

I’m Alberto Rodríguez, and I’m here in the behalf of the Marketing team. As you should know, we prepare a lists of highlights about each release, called Talking Points:

Talking points are key highlights of the new release. There are different types of talking points for different types of people: general desktop users/everyone, developers, and sysadmins. They are meant to provide a short, effective answer to the question "What cool stuff is in the latest release of Fedora?" They are compelling, not necessarily comprehensive

This points help us, as Marketing team, as well to Ambassadors, to publicize each release with the news and cool stuff.

For this matter and this release, we have this wiki page: Fedora 31 talking points - Fedora Project Wiki and we will be happy to include the new things in Fedora 31

You can help us in both ways:

  1. Editing the wiki directly with the points.
  2. Throwing us the list, and we will put them in the wiki.

Thanks in advance for your help and for your efforts.

Best Regards

Sorry, but there isn’t really any use in the IoT product just yet. It doesn’t
support the most common architectures for IoT devices, through install images
anyway, namely armhfp.

Not sure how much of a problem this is. Almost every distribution is offering a ARMv8 version or at least working on it. So maybe Fedora IoT is just ahead of the curve.

The bigger problem might be hardware support because Fedora isn’t offering specialized kernels and containers might not make things easier. I’m thinking about switching my Raspberry Pi 3 to IoT but I would use it only as a small container host and ignore all GPIO stuff.
