<p>Peter Robinson has written a <a href="https://nullr0ute.com/2026/10/raspberry-pi-5-on-fedora/">blog post</a> about the current state of Fedora support for Raspberry Pi 5 devices. According to Robinson, the upcoming Fedora 45 release will work—with caveats—on all variants of the Raspberry Pi Model 5B; the Compute Module 5 and Pi 500+ are still works in progress. <blockquote class="bq"> For Fedora 44 release you need to have a temporary workaround when booting. If you update to the latest kernel/firmware straight away this isn't then needed beyond the first boot. The workaround isn't needed for Fedora 45 so if you're going to try this out I suggest you go and grab your favourite flavour of Fedora from the Fedora 45 release candidates and jump straight in there! You will get an accelerated desktop with storage/network/USB. There's not currently any support for sound and a number of other things. </blockquote> <p>See Robinson's post for instructions on creating an Fedora image to use with a Raspberry Pi 5.</p> <p></p>
