Details
Posted in June 2026: two .img.gz files — Fedora 44 KDE (mutable) and Fedora Kinoite 44 (immutable, atomic updates with rollback) — on the stock CM4 kernel 6.12.62-v8+, flashed with Raspberry Pi Imager or Etcher, login uconsole/uconsole, with sudo uconsole-4g enable for the 4G card (untested by the author). A GitHub repository and CM5 images were planned, but the developer had no CM5 to test on.
trinity's OS directory lists both images with direct download links; the thread is the place to report results.
