I'm wondering, is it possible to install Fedora 40 on a fresh x86 computer with only a serial console? It's such a bother to set up a monitor and a keyboard anymore. A few years back I transitioned to laptops exclusively and now I'm reaping what I sowed.
@pro I'm lucky enough to have a laptop with a serial port on it. It's not my main laptop, in fact it's over 10 years old. It's a toughbook though, so it's still pretty nice.

@pro Hey, had a thought on the issue with not wanting to set monitors up to test computers. Have you ever heard of PiKVM? It's not the cheapest thing ever, but it works really well as a way to just plug a computer into the network, and then do all of the setup from a laptop, you can even remotely plug in USB drive images to it, and if you want to really make it nice, you can add a card blank with a board in that lets you press the power and reset buttons and see the LED statuses.
