[fedora-arm] Re: Fedora for Tegra / jetson nano : how good is it ?

You know the business plans of nVidia,right ? If you want recent software and support,you should buy their new product in 2,3 years. (in the socs world,while in the PC world every year your expensive gpu value will be zero and even its performances). Jetson nano born in 2019,it lasts 3 years. Yes,it seems old,numerically speaking,but it is still perfect for a lot of use cases. The task to keep it updated has been poured on the developers and final users with a low-medium level of experience. I've been able to upgrade ubuntu 18.04 to ubuntu 22.04,everything works good except for the GPU that can't be enabled because it seems strictly tied to CUDA 10. They say that CUDA 11 will not work on the Jetson nano. If I want to use it,I should buy the Jetson orin.

It's a pity that they are still using 18.04 which is scheduled for end
of life at the end of this month and 23.04 is current.

I have the JetsonNano 2GB and 4GB.
