Thanks to some help by davidlt and @neil I was able to get @fedora #CoreOS built for #RISCV. This is definitely one of the first ever CoreOS boots of RISCV:

Hey @hetzner,

The folks at Fedora have done the work to make a Hetzner-specific image of CoreOS (see https://github.com/coreos/fedora-coreos-tracker/issues/1324).

When do you think we’ll be able to see it in this menu with a little lightning icon next to it?

Ball’s in your court now :)

Running Fedora CoreOS (FCOS) on Hetzner Cloud with a custom image and Ignition via user-data :-)

Happy to see Fedora has implemented CoreOS support for Hetzner. Guess the ball’s in Hetzner’s court now: would be great to see it as one of the natively-supported operating systems with rapid deploy (under 10 seconds deployment).

Tomorrow 5pm UTC is the final go/no-go meeting for the release of Fedora Linux 42: https://calendar.fedoraproject.org/meeting/11013/?from_date=2025-04-07

If everything goes to plan, then the new release can be there as soon as 2025-04-15 !!

It's the first release of Fedora Linux, that will promote the KDE desktop to full "Edition" Status (Same as the Gnome Desktop variant).

I've already been running F42 KDE edition on my daily devices and didn't envounter any issues so far

Also running some VServers with Fedora CoreOS 42 on Hetzner Cloud, which is also a joy to work with :-)

Some upstream contributor’s have been hard at work and we now have a Hetzer Cloud downloadable image and docs page for @fedora #CoreOS Nice work everyone! https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-coreos/provisioning-hetzner/

I will be at #KubeCon / #CloudNativeCon in London this week.

I'll give a workshop on Wednesday with @tormath1 on how to use and build systemd system extensions (sysexts): https://kccnceu2025.sched.com/event/1tcxe/contribfest-extending-image-based-systems-using-systemd-system-extensions

Feel free to reach out if you want to chat about Fedora CoreOS and running Kubernetes on it, Openshift, Fedora Atomic Desktops, Flatpaks, KDE or anything else .

I was about to switch from #Fedora #CoreOS to #Flatcar, but it looks like Flatcar doesn’t include the virtiofs kernel module?

After testing Fedora CoreOS for the past weeks, I found myself leaning more towards Flatcar. But lacking virtiofs is a dealbreaker for my use case.
