Fedora Image
Would we be able to see a fedora image with the spx kernel version and working grub version to use instead of arch?
I think unfortunately not in the foreseeable future. I'd love to switch to Fedora at some point (as my SB2 is running that now as well) but I really don't have the time right now and it'd be quite a bit of work.

What'd would be required to get it working?
I only ask because I have a lot of issues getting arch up on my surface pro x.
FYI, if you create a Fedora image with packages that are not in the Fedora repositories, then you cannot call it Fedora and you have to replace the Fedora logos. Its one of the reasons why I never bothered to make ISO images with the surface kernel already installed.

EDIT: The other reason is that Fedora uses approximately 20 different tools to build their images and not even Fedora contributors seem to have an idea which one is used on their infra :P

Hmm i mean it's not a problem for x64 devices as fedora still boots and installs and then you can install the surface kernel later.
Fedora arm doesn't even boot on the pro x without it.

Oh well... so one more reason to be lazy and stick with Arch for now xD
Although hopefully at some point we have all the packages in the official Fedora repos thanks to the ARM Thinkpad (apart from patched kernel and grub probably).
