I just started to try and get some of this done.
Testing with the same Troy.

Thanks!I'm curious about the Fedora Workstation aarch64 tests.What hardware is it run on?Some tests run in OpenQA in a virtual machine (those with a robot icon), other tests performed by lbrabec are tested on a RPi4.Can I use an aarch64 virtual machine? If yes, can it be running on x86_64?You can. But cross-arch virtualization will be painfully slow.However, note that the purpose of release validation testing is to check whether the images will work for the majority of our users. So while testing in a VM is theoretically possible for all or most desktop test cases (test cases which specifically require bare metal testing are marked as such), it's not the real-world usage. So at least for a release candidate, we definitely strive for bare metal coverage as much as possible (in the past, we've seen a large number of issues happening only on a RPi, for example).Here's a list of officially supported boards:(Oh yes, the page is horribly outdated. We've asked relevant people so many times to update it. Nevertheless, this is what we have).Most users will run on a RPi3 or RPi4, so that's what we should realistically test, and that's what we do. Testing in a VM is good for automation or when you have no other choice. Testing on exotic hardware might be fun, but has very limited benefit.Sorry for the questions, but this is my first time doing desktop testing.Very appreciated! I might not spot these questions in the KDE list every time, feel free to use the test list or our #quality:fedoraproject.org matrix channel, if you see no reply. Thanks.Thank you for the answers. I've signed up for the mailling list, so I will hopefully get these tested in a timely manner.For those who are wondering, I'm testing on a rpi4, using the tar.gz image.--Troy
