   I flashed the new Fedora KDE Plasma Mobile Spin 41 to a PinePhone and it boots!

   I already had Tow-Boot, so I just had to start the device while holding down volume-up, and then connect the USB cable and flash with Balena Etcher. WIth verification included, it took more than half an hour, but then again the image was large (11GB uncompressed).

   Can't get past the Initial Setup though. First, not everything fits into the screen. Second, I see the Wi-Fi enabled but don't see a way to choose the network (possibly because of the first problem).

   Nevertheless, I hope one day soon I will have this running.

     @coolkanishk32 Thank you!
     By the way, I hope I didn't left the impression that I was involved in the project. I'm just a fan, and all I did was to try it out.

     @cosmin You flashed the installer media onto the drive you wanna install to. That will not work. Not even if you can get beyond the installer UI. What you could try is instead flash this onto the micro SD and boot from it by pressing the (probably) upper (if not try lower) volume key.
