With all the talk of Wayland, I followed up on the idea of downloading
an F40 Live image and seeing if it boots on my existing hardware.
Well, it did boot on two out of three laptops that are currently running
F39.
On a 2013-era Thinkpad W520 it immediately fails with a:
error: ../../grub-core/disk/efi/efidisk.c:531:invalid buffer alignment
-1112264040
error: ../../grub-core/loader/i386/efi/linux.c:258:you need to load the
kernel first.
Press any key to continue...
Although my plans are to use dnf system-upgrade, this looks like a
kernel issue to me. It is unclear to me whether the issue lies with the
Fedora Live image, or if there's something on this laptops that just
blows the kernel from high orbit, whether it'll boot from the USB stick
or its existing hard drive.
So: would anyone care to put forward an informed opinion?
Try the MATE and XFCe spins and let us know:

MATE is a little bit easier to use
