1. 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. +

+ + +
+
+

1.1. Setting up fedora

+
+

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

+
+
+

1.1.1. 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!
    • +
+
+
+
+

1.1.2. 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
      • +
    • +
+
+
+
+
+

1.2. 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".
    • +
+
+
+
+

1.3. 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 +

+
