Correct. That said, it is completely new on the market - and not yet
fully supported by mainline kernel and thereby Fedora. It is expected
for users (in the beginning) to have some super-user skills.
The Pinetab2 is also a low-power SoC - very far from a powerful SoC as
you generally see them on x86 laptops.

Well, I can't really answer that, as I have never used wine.
To my big surprise though, wine is available in Fedoras repos
for aarch64. I suspect though, that it will require Windows aarch64
binaries to be able to run them. An alternative could be an emulator
like Box64, that can run x86_64 files on aarch64 - but that will be
_extremely_ slow on this device.

Fedora has Waydroid in repos, that can run Android apps in a container.
Again generally reported so be slow on such low-power devices.

Possibly.

Yes.

You can run whatever you like.
