Unfortunately there's not much we can do about widevine.

In terms of hardware I would probably for the near term choose the
NVidia Jetson Nano. We now support this as of F-32 (yes, I need to
document this), there's a bug currently with the graphics but one of
the nvidia maintainers is investigating it and we should have a fix
soon.

It won't support it any better than what we currently have in the
Fedora 5.6 kernel, I have pulled most of the useful patches that were
headed to 5.7. There won't be accelerated graphics in 5.7, and given
the patch set that begins adding this support is over 90 patches [1]
and it needs to be ready for 5.8 in a week (the patches have to be
ready to go by rc5) it will be 5.9 at the earliest which means it's
borderline [2] if it'll make F-33 at this point.
