My current setup

+ +
+

Dotfiles

+

This is a repo for my dotfiles and its kind of fucked up. + Some configs have there own repos because I didn't think ahead lmao. +

+
+ + + + + +
+

Why linux

+

+ I have always liked being able to customize, mod, and poke inside different things. + Computers are machines for us to play around with and use how we see fit yet the only thing + the big tech companies want to do it lock everything up and it disgusts me. + Fuck google, fuck microsoft, fuck apple, and fuck all the other evil tech companies!!! + Its time for the open source revolution and seize them all and open source the entire world!!! + Without linux or any other unix life would be much much worse. Linux is my safe place + from all the shit in the world. +

+ Window kills kittens +
+ + + + + +
+

fedora xfce

+

+ 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. +

+ +

Setting up fedora

+

+ Fedora has a little extra setup you wouldn't see in something like linux mint though + is isn't that bad. +

+

Packages

+

+ The default repos have lots of stuff but you might want an app that isn't in it like steam. + I knowe 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 + resources here +
    • +
  • + Install flatpak if not already there using "sudo dnf install flatpak" then add + flathub + to get some cool apps! +
    • +
+ +

Multimedia

+

+ 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 group upgrade --with-optional Multimedia
      • +
    +
    • +
+ +

Nvidia drivers

+

+ 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 + here +
    • +
  • + Follow the archwiki on nvidia in lightdm + here + though the provider setting in display_setup.sh might be wrong so use + xrandr --listproviders + to find the correct one. For me its "NVIDIA-G0". +
