Speaking about hardware - and that's more a question for Spot - could be possible to organize another round of HW give away as we did with Raspberries? With a different HW, that's supported in Fedora and it seems like there are pretty cheap options either. With some metrics, like commits/packages/packages that need significant effort to make it working on ARM...
