Just wanted to let everyone know that after installing Fedora 32 Workstation the upgrade to Fedora 33 Workstation went off without a hitch.
Gnome is version 3.38.
Memory usage in Fedora 32 hovered around 1.2G. In Fedora 33, memory usage hovers around 980M. The desktop is snappier and animations are smoother. CPU usage seems to be lower as well. Videos and Youtube run fine. I haven't tested anything above default settings for video playback, yet. I have lots of testing and playing to find all the changes.
Fedora 33 adds better support all around for Pine64 hardware. I didn't get a chance to really test Fedora 32 that much but it was a solid experience. I have it installed on emmc.

In my opinion, Pinebook Pro went from tinker toy to a serious daily driver for me with Fedora. It really is solid. Software installation is a breeze with gnome store and RPMFusion is a nice equivalent to AUR. Also, dnf package manager is great. The documentation is superb for learning and getting things done as quickly and easily as possible.
This is my first experience with this distro and I'm really enjoying it.
