You don't state which image you're using. The Minimal image is
actually less than 2Gb
I am using the server image. But I am not going to try them all to see
which ones are pushing the size limit of 4GB mSD cards.
I am 'simply' pointing out that a statement that the images fit on 4GB
cards (though I should also check that that is still in the installation
instructions), should work for all images.
And thank you for all you have done providing this distro!

Could you possibly reduce the size of the / partition so that the total
image is a bit smaller?
Your image requires a 3.95GB mSD card. 7919615 512 byte sectors to be exact
(or at least with the server image).
I have LOTS of 4GB in the 3.8GB size. For example the one I had with my
traveling last week is 7774208 512 byte sectors.
It is not like you have filled the / partition; there is unused space. It
would make your claim that a 4GB mSD card can be used for the image install
more likely to be true.
Or just state that better use work with a 8GB mSD card to avoid possible
overwrite errors.
My 2c worth.
Oh, and interesting that F24 fdisk reports the xfs partition as swap?
