A change proposal has been cleared by the Fedora Engineering and Steering Committee “FESCo” for providing a nice out-of-the-box experience for Windows on ARM laptops namely the recent Snapdragon X1 laptops and will also be important for the upcoming Snapdragon X2 laptops too.

Hans de Goede who left Red Hat last year and joined Qualcomm is the one leading this Fedora 44 improvement to provide automatic DTB selection for AArch64 EFI systems. The intent is on making Fedora Live AArch64 ISOs work out-of-the-box for Windows on ARM laptops by automatically handling the right Device Tree at boot time.
