macOS is a 16k OS also, so that's part of the reason it works best, the hardware was designed that way

There's actually a huge list of page size issues we fixed in Asahi in all sorts of random projects, it's so rare for people to run on anything other than 4k, we encountered many 4k assuptions in applications

Na it was always 16k, you can get 4k to boot, buts it's missing so much functionality it's hard to recommend.

We have to build a custom kernel for Asahi and that's not gonna change anytime soon, there's multiple reasons, you need to build for 16k, Rust for Linux support, not yet upstreamed stuff, etc. The stock Fedora kernel on Apple Silicon boots and not much else

It was said the kernel replacing using bootc isn't in a great place right now, maybe ublue should start with Raspberry Pi 4 because it's the normal Fedora kernel 🤷♂️

I would say we are not as blocked on this as we think, 90% of the enablement doesn't require a desktop the published Fedora IoT should be good enough to start
