QNAP TS-473A with Fedora Server
I installed Fedora Server 35 on my QNAP TS-473A.
These are my installation notes. They are similar to my RHEL8 notes.

I installed Fedora Server 35 on my QNAP TS-473A.
These are my installation notes. They are similar to my RHEL8 notes.
I got myself a Mountain keyboard, the Everest Max.
Since I had to boot Windows to set it up properly, here is my braindump on what I configured for my daily use with KDE Plasma on Fedora Linux.
I also noted my impressions, both positive and negative.
I purchased a QNAP TS-473. This comes with a AMD Ryzen Embedded V1500B 4-core/8-thread @ 2.2 GHz CPU.
These are my notes from initial bringup.
As previously described, I had replaced the fans in my UniFi US-16-XG, but until today I had not put in any low noise adapters (LNA).
That changed today, I added two LNA NA-RC10 (8.3 m³/h, 12.2 dbA) because the switch is still the most noisy piece of equipment in my homelab.
After upgrading the memory of my ASUS PN50 to 64 Gib, it was installed as an OpenShift Container Platform (OCP4) worker node.
Because my ASUS PN50 running MythTV was initially installed with F32 and I routinely DNF System Upgrade, it has been running F34 for a while now.
The main reason for this post is that the infrared receiver and watchdog seem to finally work.
These are my notes on installing a second hand Lenovo ThinkPad T480 (20L6) for a relative of mine.
This is my braindump of shrinking the existing 1TB LVM cache (on a Samsung 960evo) to half size and using the freed up space to host qcow2 files used by our OpenShift 4 VMs
Since my ASUS PN50 is planned to be running MythTV, I reinstalled it with Fedora 32 (wiping my RHEL 8 install).
Specs say 115 x 115 x 49 mm (WxDxH). CD case in the picture to give you a rough idea of the size.
