yes the statement about hardware support isn't quite correct anymore. But there is still a noticeable difference between the mainline kernel (which Fedora uses) and the vendor kernel from the Raspberry Pi Foundation.
Most notably are:
- audio support
- V3D support
An update to say clearly that only server/headless worked then would better the. The blanket “it does not work”. I is only that I looked deeper that I found out that it might work.
Oh and would need a warning that the boot is very slow. I see a black screen for a couple of minutes before I see any output from the kernel or systemd.
A lot users doesn't accept this. Instead of blaming the vendor to focus on its own kernel branch, they blame Fedora for using the mainline kernel. So that's the reason to say it's not officially supported.
There a lots of messages in this mailing archieve showing that people are getting Fedora to work on RPi4.
Is there still a reason to claim its not supported? If so what should I be watching out for/avoiding with the RPi4?
For a headless / server setup there shouldn't be no general issues.
Food to know.
