Yes, I know, thanks. I've thought about trying it, but am generally happy
with Raspbian and its less bleeding edge than Fedora anyhow.

My only real niggle is that apt-get feels quite old fashioned compared
with its Fedora equivalents. Initially that was yum, but since that got
replaced with dnf this impression has only got stronger, particularly
since Fedora has at long last got the ability to upgrade to the next
version in situ, i.e. the equivalent of "apt-get dist-upgrade".
