Fedora 29 Beta Now Available For Download With Improved Raspberry Pi Support (betanews.com)
The Fedora Project announced Tuesday the beta availability of Fedora 29 -- the latest version of the free and open-source Fedora OS. From a report: It features updated packages, improved support for Raspberry Pi, and more. "Highlighting Fedora 29 Beta is the addition of modularity across all Fedora editions. First delivered in Fedora 28 Server, modularity enables multiple versions of the same software (like Node.js) to be selected on a per-system basis, with parallel installation done through containers. This can provide some users the ability to use tried-and-true versions of software while enabling other users to work with just-released innovation without impacting the overall stability of the Fedora operating system," says Matthew Miller, Fedora Project Leader.
Miller further says, "The importance of ARM to IoT has not been lost on Fedora, and Fedora 29 Beta aims to make the Fedora operating system a home for both ARM and IoT. These features start with enhanced ZRAM support for swap on ARMv7 and aarch64, which can improve the performance and reliability of Fedora 29 Beta on ARM Single Board Computers, like the Raspberry Pi. These devices are used by 'makers' and in developmental IoT solutions."

WINE is **NOT** an emulator. Do you understand?
Why use containers? Just use Java?
Containers are slooow and bloated.
All you need is a few cores [ at least 4 ] , a few Gb of RAM [ at least 16 ] , a few Gb of disk space [at least 200 ] and you are all set to go!
This is not even "commodity" hardware, most of this is "throwaway hardware" quality.
A raspberry pi is crap, since it can not run java reliably. It's best for trivial applications, like arduino stuff.
the updated version is compatible with all the OS. It can be used on Windows as well as android also. If you face windows 10 explorer keeps crashing issue to install it on Windows 10. this problem may be easy.
Its a good question, at some point going forward, (assuming the kernel 'just' forks and doesn't self destruct from some contributors revoking their license) people are going to be making a choice between a non-meritocracy version and a more conventional version.
Besides that, I would really like to see what the person who down modded you selected for the reason.
nobody cares about fedora
I initially read that as "Firefox 29 Beta Now Available For Download With Improved Raspberry Pi Support" and was thinking, "Who needs Firefox support for a microcontroller?
One thing that the developers of the RPi got right, is that it is very easy to load SW onto it. Just save the image to a SD card and la voila. There simply isn't any other embedded computer that is so easy to get up and running.

They chose "Troll". If you click on the current score it will tell you.
i don't associate fedora as a lightweight distro you would want to run on a raspberry pi
