Added more specific instructions on how to resize the main partition on the microSD card due to the increased complexity of the partition layout on recent versions of Fedora. I faced this difficulty myself and found out that others have too.

The arm-image-installer tool automates all of this, but it's not always available depending on the distribution.

I've tested these instructions on a system running Fedora Workstation 34. Parted was already installed by default.

Does anyone know how to make it so that we don't have to specify a target size? Something that makes it grow through all the available space automatically (like the lvextend -l +100%FREE command)

(parted) resizepart <partition_number> <target_size>

Wow, that was strange. I think ProtonMail just sent my message encrypted.

Here's the message:

That's interesting, but unfortunately I can't test it anymore. Someone else will have to continue this

Besides, I was unaware of the fact that Fedora doesn't officially support the Raspberry Pi 4, which is what I was using...
