I managed to get Fedora 43 Workstation and KDE-Plasma working on the One UP.
The Workstation version image can be downloaded from the RPM Fusion - Howtos site under Raspberry PI where an image for Fedora 43 Workstation is available.
This can be installed on SD card or USB (I choose USB) and then make the necessary changes in the config.txt file for the One UP and also you will need to change the location of the root file system in the boot/efi/cmdline.txt file from the SD card to your required device i.e. USB. Details of the changes are provided in the RPM Fusion link.
To install KDE Plasma it is necessary to install the necessary KDE Plasma files on top of the runniing Fedora Gnome 43 system.
To do this I did the following:
- Performed a system update to ensure that all packages are up to date.
- At the command line install the KDE-Plasma-Environment with the following command.
sudo dnf install @kde-desktop-environment
- Reboot
- The system will start up with the GDM Display manager and the Gnome environment you will need to change to the SDDM Display Manager with the following command
systemctl enable --force sddm.service
- Reboot
- Ensure that you select Plasma at the sign-on screen down at the bottom left.
- KDE Plasma will start and is operational.
I’ve performed updates, software installation, run the browser for various sites and YouTube all working OK.
Note, as Fedora have not, yet, officially supported the RPI-5 family of devices this is a unofficial version and errors may occur. However, this is progress.
