On this page it states that the RPi4 is not supported.

yes the statement about hardware support isn't quite correct anymore.
But there is still a noticeable difference between the mainline kernel
(which Fedora uses) and the vendor kernel from the Raspberry Pi Foundation.
Most notably are:
- audio support
- V3D support
An update to say clearly that only server/headless worked then would better
the. The blanket “it does not work”. I is only that I looked deeper that I
found out that it
might work.
Oh and would need a warning that the boot is very slow.
I see a black screen for a couple of minutes before I see any output
from the kernel or systemd.
That is part of why its still "unsupported", the platform is still a bit
unstable in many ways. The slow boot is likely the same as this problem:
https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/1619
which should really be titled "GET_CLOCK behavior change causing
problems everywhere". There are various less than ideal workarounds at
this point, but for most users the best plan is probably to just revert
to an older firmware that works as expected.
Particularly for this problem, it would be useful if you mentioned the
uboot version your getting from Fedrora, as AFAIK pbrobinson pushed a
workaround to uboot that should make it better.
A lot users doesn't accept this. Instead of blaming the vendor to focus
on its own kernel branch, they blame Fedora for using the mainline
kernel. So that's the reason to say it's not officially supported.
There a lots of messages in this mailing archieve showing that people are
getting Fedora to work on RPi4.
Is there still a reason to claim its not supported?
If so what should I be watching out for/avoiding with the RPi4?
For a headless / server setup there shouldn't be no general issues.
Food to know.
