You should use aarch64, we're retiring armhfp post F-36. The problem with GNOME is that you need to allocate 256Mb of RAM for the GPU for it to work and then remaining ~768Mb doesn't give you a lot of space to run an OS and app. Given those constraints it works to some definition of "work". > If the answer turns out to be the Gnome isn't going to work and I have to go > with Xfce, I don't see an Xfce spin built for aarch64, only armhfp, is that > correct? Is that what I should be using? There is XFCE for aarch64. _______________________________________________ arm mailing list -- arm@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to arm-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/arm@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
