I have tried the gnome version but it doesn't really - fit me so most of the time I have used the kde spin though recently - kde just haven't been feeling the same. It has been feeling buggy - and have been fighting with nvidia drivers.

Without them many media files will not work - and lots of youtube videos will not be able to play. The fedora docs - use to show how to install them but they removed it from their page - and instead shows a new version which installs some stuff but not - everything. I do both of them to make sure I get all the codecs I - need.</p> - <ul> - <li>Update your system with <code>sudo dnf upgrade</code></li> - <li>Install the new packages with <code>sudo dnf group install - multimedia</code></li> - <li>Install the old ones with these three commands in a row: - <ul> - <li><code>sudo dnf install - gstreamer1-plugins-{bad-\*,good-\*,base} - gstreamer1-plugin-openh264 gstreamer1-libav - --exclude=gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free-devel</code></li> - <li><code>sudo dnf install lame\* - --exclude=lame-devel</code></li> - <li><code>sudo dnf swap ffmpeg-free ffmpeg - --allowerasing</code></li> - </ul> - </li> - </ul> - </td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td> - <h2 id="nvidia">Nvidia drivers</h2> - <p>Nvidia isn't the best on linux and I like AMD much more though I - am stuck with nvidia for now.
