Our aarch64 distro is built to install on machines that support
uefi/grub2. It is not really designed to run on uboot machines. People
have gotten it working on uboot setups, but each machine is unique to
install and maintain that way. With 4 or less GB of installed RAM, it
is not worth the effort (IMHO) to try to make the aarch64 version run.</pre>

I am assuming you are saying that aarch64 will not work on a IPi3

Not that I have any interest in ANY RPi.<br>

LXDE is not built by Fedora in EPEL, so it has never been built at all
for CentOS by the CentOS team (that I know of). There is xfce (as I
said before), but I am not sure how well even that works. Basically,
CentOS for ARM32 is not really designed to run in Workstation, or even
GUI, mode. It is basically a CLI implementation for server type
services .. although we strive to get as many packages, both from the
CentOS-7 repo and EPEL 7 repo, as possible to build.</pre>

There has always been an LXDE build for Fedora-armhfp, see:<br>

<br>
And earlier releases, but not for Fedora-26?<br>

<br>
I see LXDE for the F27 beta on:<br>

<br>
But I don't see any successful builds (at least a few days back),
but there are builds for Xfce there.<br>
<br>
I tried LXDE during the F24 beta and did not like it. I have been
on Xfce since F21-arm (or was it the special F18 build? Old
history, anyway). I use Xfce on my x64 notebook and get much longer
battery usage than I did with Gnome!<br>
<br>
I should try putting Xfce on one of my Cubies with Centos7 just for
the 'exercise'; won't be for a few weeks, as I have a LOT of
post-IETF work. Just ask Paul Wouter, he ALSO has a fair bit of
post IETF work...<br>
<br>
The only Centos7 equiv that I have with a GUI is my ClearOS7 server
with Xfce. It is on an Intel Nano platform...<br>

Actually I have it running on a ClearOS7 system. Took a it to get it
together. I remembered wrong; we worked from Fedora to get the rpms.
There are a few things missing, and I really need to file a bug report
about them. I was away when I first replied. Back now.
