+ <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"

+ <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>
+ </ul>

+ <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=<refresh rate of your sync monitor><br/>
+ __GL_SYNC_DISPLAY_DEVICE=<monitor to sync to>
+ </code>
+ <br/><br/>
+ Then open your nvidia settings, go to OpenGL Settings and turn off "Allow Flipping".
+ </li>
+ </ul>

+ <h2 id="useful_things">Useful things in fedora</h2>
+ Fedora doesn't have "update-grub" so instead you have to use these:<br/>
+ <code>
+ sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /etc/grub2.cfg<br/>
+ sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /etc/grub2-efi.cfg
+ </code>
