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.
-
- Fedora xfce can be downloaded here.

Setting up fedora

-

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

-

Packages

-

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 - 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 swap ffmpeg-free ffmpeg - --allowerasing

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 -
    • -
  • Also look at the rpmfusion docs on nvidia here -
    • -
  • Follow the archwiki on nvidia in 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

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 -
-
- - -- cgit v1.2.3
