Briefings

Peter Robinson reports that Fedora 45 will support all Raspberry Pi Model 5B variants with caveats, while Fedora 44 requires a temporary boot workaround. The workaround is unnecessary for Fedora 45, which offers an accelerated desktop with storage, network, and USB support. Sound and other features lack current support. Instructions for creating a Fedora image are available in Robinson's post.

Key points

• Fedora 45 release candidates will work with all Raspberry Pi Model 5B variants, including Compute Module 5 and Pi 500+, with no workaround needed after the first boot.
• Fedora 44 requires a temporary workaround when booting, which is unnecessary for Fedora 45.

Context

Peter Robinson's blog post details the current state of Fedora support for Raspberry Pi 5 devices, specifically Fedora 44 and 45 release candidates.

Limitations

Evidence is limited to Robinson's blog post; specific release dates for Fedora 45 are not provided, and the post does not confirm the availability of sound support.
