Running full Fedora on the Pi 5 is impressive. I wonder how WebKitGTK performs on ARM — that's the webview Tauri uses on Linux, and Pi would be an interesting edge case for lightweight desktop apps.

The first rule of bringup is thermal support.

Good reminder that the Raspberry Pis only have good software support if you stick to whatever the foundation is releasing. Because that same foundation has stayed obsessed with their weird custom ways of doing things, instead of furthering efforts like UEFI on ARM. Some of it is insultingly stupid - like for revD of the 5, you better now update the magic boot partition of your RPi with the device tree overlay for revD, because it will use the old device tree, but also expect the overlay to be there so it can actually work. To say the least, that is never what overlays were supposed to be for.
