Projects such as OpenHarmony support multiple kernels to enable reuse of components on devices with a wide range of compute capabilities - in particular mobile and edge devices. Is this something Fedora would consider doing? This would potentially benefit spins aimed for mobile and desktop use. > > > > What do you mean by multiple kernels? > > Envisage some of the following options: > > a) Enabling use of the mainline linux kernel but tuned for different > operating expectations - desktop, mobile or server Can you be (much, much) more precise? Mainline Linux can easily be tuned for different deployments already. See Fedora spins, or more specifically, Fedora power profiles. Is there something (again, be very specific) that requires a different kernel package? > b) Options for integrating other existing kernels such as GNU/Hurd or LinuxLibre The experience with Debian is this is a lot of work, with a negligible userbase. People can already run a Fedora userspace on top of other Linux and other kernels. For RISC-V, I sometimes have to run Fedora on top of vendor kernels with lots of weird non-upstream nonsense in them, but I don't expect Fedora to support me in this endeavour.
