From 79ca996e49603f9df01efa13447441bfe2205f1f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeremy Linton Date: Sep 16 2021 23:53:17 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Update install guide to note SystemReady Machines The fedora install guide mentions that its for AMD/Intel machines but much of this process also directly applies 1:1 with the Arm SBSA/SBBR/SystemReady class of machines which utilize industry standard HW/SW in the form of UEFI/ACPI/etc. Lets mention those alongside the AMD/Intel when appropriate.
