- <h1>Fedora xfce</h1>
- <p>Fedora been my go to for quite a while though I sometimes switch
- desktops lmao. 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. After running xfce on my
- second computer for a while I grew to really like it and started
- using it on my main and it have been running much better then
- kde.<br>
- <br>
- Fedora xfce can be downloaded <a href=
- "https://fedoraproject.org/spins/xfce" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>

- <h2 id="setting_up">Setting up fedora</h2>
- <p>Fedora has a little extra setup you wouldn't see in something
- like linux mint though it isn't that bad.</p>
- <h3>Packages</h3>
- <p>You can speed up dnf by adding these to /etc/dnf/dnf.conf<br>
- <code>max_parallel_downloads=20<br>
- fastestmirror=True</code><br>
- <br>
- The default repos have lots of stuff but you might want an app that
- isn't in it like steam. I know the gnome version has a enable 3rd
- party repos button that does everything I listed here but I am on
- the xfce version and also had to do this on the kde verison.</p>
- <ul>
- <li>Setup rpm fusion to get more packages in dnf with the
- <a href="https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/rpmfusion-setup/"
- target="_blank">resources here</a>
- </li>
- <li>Install flatpak if not already there using "sudo dnf install
- flatpak" then add <a href="https://flathub.org/setup/Fedora"
- target="_blank">flathub</a> to get some cool apps!
- </li>
- </ul>
- <h3>Multimedia</h3>
- <p>By default fedora doesn't have many codecs and you need to
- install them yourself. 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>

- <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. For xfce there are some extra settings
- to enable it but it works great once that is done. You will need rpm
- fusion first before you can install the drivers.</p>
- <ul>
- <li>Follow the fedora docs on nvidia <a href=
- "https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/set-nvidia-as-primary-gpu-on-optimus-based-laptops"
- target="_blank">here</a>
- </li>
- <li>Also look at the rpmfusion docs on nvidia <a href=
- "https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/NVIDIA" target="_blank">here</a>
- </li>
- <li>Follow the archwiki on nvidia in lightdm <a href=
- "https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA_Optimus#LightDM"
- target="_blank">here</a>.
- </li>
- <li>For multi monitor refresh rate issues add these to your
- /etc/environment<br>
- <code>CLUTTER_DEFAULT_FPS=&lt;refresh rate of your sync
- monitor&gt;<br>
- __GL_SYNC_DISPLAY_DEVICE=&lt;monitor to sync to&gt;</code><br>
- Then open your nvidia settings, go to OpenGL Settings and turn off
- "Allow Flipping".</li>
