It isn't necessary to wait for the announcement of a "beta". The 35 branch can be installed at any time from the net isos here.

Enter HP UEFI BIOS setup, disable the GUI splash screen, then save and exit. If this doesn't help, when the Fedora boot menu first appears, strike the E key, find the end of the line that begins linu, append nomodeset, then proceed. The linu line may be wrapped.

OP, were you trying to boot while more than one display was connected?

No I didn't. I got it fixed however with acpi=off, and some time after that it just started working with noacpi.

Seems like no one either knows or wants to let others know this until you start diving in deep and then you find out the hard way.
So Linux is good only for older systems or ones that have exact hardware spec's that only one or a few linux distros update or have. What those are I have no clue.
So you can give as much details to your hardware and show what you are doing, but if not compatible, you'll never get no where!
I got the file structure down and the all the basic important command line commands, and the partioning and formating and some of grub.
But all this doesn't matter if your current hardware you have is not compatable. All these you tube videos and online websites are not up front or as clear as they should be to understanding what,where,when,why and can you? Not everyone talks or understands the hardware architectural of mother boards and all the components. It makes it hard at first. Good luck sorry I couldn't help.

Isn't that the new ARM one?
IIRC, a Linux distro specifically for it exists.

This answers everything I have been having problems with:

Time to get rid of all my old I Macs and my 2 year old mac book pro.
I guess Linux is best on old Windows PC. Let's see if this is the real deal...
