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

Hi Mario,

> I dont hide my interest in the installation of fedora on the Jetson nano. I would like to understand what works and what not. Can I have a more modern OS than Ubuntu 18.04 ? help me to understand.

The upstream support for nano is OK outside of the graphics stack.
NVIDIA is now more focused on newer generations of the hardware, being
Xavier and Orin primarily, They have effectively end of lifed pretty
much anything prior to that, the TX1 SoC which the nano is based upon
was released in 2015 so 8 years support isn't too bad IMO compared to
a lot of other vendors.

They are still upstreaming pieces of the tegra HW drivers for the t210
series where it makes sense with their work on the newer HW as a lot
of the IP blocks are related.

In terms of their userspace based on releases of Ubuntu that's pretty
out of scope from a Fedora perspective. You may be able to look at the
newer NVIDIA Jetpack 5.x releases which are designed to run on
Xavier/Orin as they're based on a 5.10 kernel and a newer L4T
userspace but I have no idea what version of Ubuntu that is, this is
the wrong forum for those questions, I'm not sure if they've actively
torn out < Xavier support there or just defocused it.

Regards,
Peter
