Will leave it here for a day or two in case anyone wants me to change something.
Metadata Update from @darknao: - Pull-request tagged with: arm.fp.o
Please just get it live, this is causing the arm team a LOT of queries. You could also reference the change: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/RetireARMv7
If you have room for it, I would recommend changing "... visit getfedora.org." to "... see the ALT DOWNLOADS section of getfedora.org.". Since "ALT" ≠ "ARM", some people might not realize that is what they need to click on.
Why are we mentioning ALT here? Server, workstation etc all have the aarch64 downloads on their respective pages directly. See https://getfedora.org/workstation/download/ as an example.
Well, you are making people click "download" (not ellipsis) before they find out that they will then get the option to select an architecture. Some may assume that that button would immediately download either the normal/default x86_64 version or autodetect the version based on the system they are coming from. Also, I've seen several people complaining that they cannot find the "minimal" ARM image. That isn't listed at all on the main getfedora.org page and that seems to be the most common image that people want when they want a Fedora ARM image (just from my casual observations of the complaints). But you may have a better sample size if you monitor the ARM channels (I don't).
s/not ellipsis/no ellipsis/
Actually, I think it might be even better to send them directly to https://alt.fedoraproject.org/alt/ so that they get the full list of options all at once without having to hunt any further. But that is just my 2¢.
NO! Please send them to getfedora.org
ok let's deploy this then
