+* Fedora xfce
+  :PROPERTIES:
+  :CUSTOM_ID: fedora-xfce
+  :END:
+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.\\
+\\
+Fedora xfce can be downloaded [[https://fedoraproject.org/spins/xfce][here]].
+
+* Setting up fedora
+   :PROPERTIES:
+   :CUSTOM_ID: setting_up
+   :END:
+Fedora has a little extra setup you wouldn't see in something like linux
+mint though it isn't that bad.
+
+** Packages
+    :PROPERTIES:
+    :CUSTOM_ID: packages
+    :END:
+You can speed up dnf by adding these to /etc/dnf/dnf.conf\\
+=max_parallel_downloads=20=\\
+=fastestmirror=True=\\
+\\
+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.
+
++ Setup rpm fusion to get more packages in dnf with the
+  [[https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/rpmfusion-setup/][resources here]]
++ Install flatpak if not already there using =sudo dnf install flatpak=
+  then add [[https://flathub.org/setup/Fedora][flathub]] to get some cool apps!
+
+** Multimedia
+    :PROPERTIES:
+    :CUSTOM_ID: multimedia
+    :END:
+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.
+
++ Update your system with =sudo dnf upgrade=
++ Install the new packages with =sudo dnf group install multimedia=
++ Install the old ones with these three commands in a row:
+  + =sudo dnf install gstreamer1-plugins-{bad-\*,good-\*,base} gstreamer1-plugin-openh264 gstreamer1-libav --exclude=gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free-devel=
+  + =sudo dnf install lame\* --exclude=lame-devel=
+  + =sudo dnf swap ffmpeg-free ffmpeg --allowerasing=
+
+* Nvidia drivers
+   :PROPERTIES:
+   :CUSTOM_ID: nvidia
+   :END:
+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.
+
++ Follow the fedora docs on nvidia [[https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/set-nvidia-as-primary-gpu-on-optimus-based-laptops][here]]
++ Also look at the rpmfusion docs on nvidia [[https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/NVIDIA][here]]
++ Follow the archwiki on nvidia in lightdm [[https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA_Optimus#LightDM][here]].
++ For multi monitor refresh rate issues add these to your
+  /etc/environment\\
+  =CLUTTER_DEFAULT_FPS=<refresh rate of your sync monitor>=\\
+  =__GL_SYNC_DISPLAY_DEVICE=<monitor to sync to>=\\
+  Then open your nvidia settings, go to OpenGL Settings and turn off
+  "Allow Flipping".
+
+* Useful things in fedora
+   :PROPERTIES:
+   :CUSTOM_ID: useful_things
+   :END:
+Fedora doesn't have =update-grub= so instead you have to use these:\\
+=sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /etc/grub2.cfg=\\
+=sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /etc/grub2-efi.cfg=
