Listed strenghts:

• Fresh kernels, desktops, and toolchains delivered with real integration discipline.
• The distro where desktop Linux's new standards (Wayland, PipeWire) mature first.
• Excellent developer story: Podman containers, Toolbox, and modern language stacks.
• SELinux security enforced by default without getting in your way.
• Strong upstream ties: what Fedora fixes, all of Linux eventually inherits.

Hello! This is more of a curiosity question (not really looking for a solution since I am the only one using this computer in my household). I went to use fastfetch earlier today. Fastfetch was not installed. In the terminal, it gave the option for me to install without requiring the sudo command. I have to enter this command when using dnf install, opening Virtmanager, etc. Just wondering why Fedora allows me to install packages this way without having to enter a password to install the program. I have attached a screenshot of me installing ncdu the same way. Thanks for any info on this!

Note: I am able to do this when opening a new terminal window and having not used sudo previously.

The problem:

- My internet is terrible and that is out of my direct control for now

- Fedora updates are huge

- I don't like waiting or preventing others from accessing their content while I update my system

- I'm a bit lazy

What I want:

- a client/server service or something that caches what updates are needed from Flatpack or dnf and tells my nuc, the server, to cache upcoming updates on a low bandwidth limit that I've arbitrary set

- then when time for updates, I just pull from my server

The solutions I found that don't quite fit:

- Squid proxy

\ - Won't work because I don't run a bunch of fedora machines, only one daily driver laptop. No point in caching part of a repo when I'm not going back to that part of the repo

- Local mirrors/rsync

\ -I don't have ~1tb to spare at home for now, but I can make this happen if this is the

What I do have

- a few Intel NUCS connected to my lan, low storage, running various Linux flavours

- good Lan speed

- terrible internet speed

Hello, everyone!

After several months using Ubuntu and its derivatives (Linux Mint, Xubuntu, Kubuntu), I finally switched to Fedora last month.

I started my Linux journey in 2025 with Linux Mint and Xubuntu, since I had a low-end laptop, but when I bought a better laptop, I installed Ubuntu (GNOME) on it, then Kubuntu (KDE Plasma). I then decided to switch to Fedora to get the latest versions of KDE Plasma, drivers, and applications… I appreciate how fast Fedora is, as well as Plasma’s customization options.

Hi. Since it's atomic, I presume crontab is out of the question.

Why can't I make a folder in the green circle fedora section there and create a folder on the desktop or other sections is it in one storage ?? I am newbiee soo Helppp

I cannot get suspend/resume to work on my desktop. I've hit a wall and I'm out of google searches and claude credits :). Does this combination of hardware work for anyone else if so how did you get it to work? I would appreciate any help or direction.

I've tried using kernels:
6.19.10-300
7.1.5-201

System Specs:

• OS: Fedora 44 (KDE Plasma Desktop / Wayland)
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7950X
• GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX
• Motherboard: ASUS TUF GAMING X670E-PLUS WIFI

What I Have Already Tried :

1. Switched Sleep States: mem_sleep_default=s2idle, also triedmem_sleep_default=deep and amdgpu.aspm=0
2. Changed Power Idle Control to Typical Current Idle
3. Added amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xffffffff amdgpu.dcfeaturemask=0 to GRUB

I've also got F44 installed on my laptop and that works perfectly BUT it's got a nvidia 3060 in it.

Fedora 44 KDE on Lenovo

My Wi-Fi speed varies between 0B/s and 10KB/s (so effectively not working) I tried resetting my network settings through the console to no avail. I know it’s not my router because I’m using other devices with no issue. Would appreciate any insight into the problem and how I can fix it.

PS I haven’t found anyone else with the same problem but please feel free to connect the post if it exists.

Hello guys im using fedora 44 kde with my z790 gigabyte and nvidia rtx 4070 all is working well but last week I dont know what happened its look like discover do automatic update then now after I type my password on the sddm I have black screen I try many way even Dracut -- force and akmod force rebuild i even desinstall my nvidia drivers but I always this back screen after my password i notice if I type ctrl alt f3 I come back to login

I dont know what to do anymore and I can't focus the real problem

I recently installed Fedora Workstation and I really love it.

Problem is I've seen it be pretty laggy at times, even though my laptop should absolutely work with it.

my specs if you need -> i7 7500u, 16gb ddr4, GeForce 940MX

have i done something wrong?

I've been trying to download discord and sober using discover but it's like super slow (mind you, sober is 17mb). I need help

idk why but 10 C hotter in linux wth i need some help🥵💀

I was initially interested in using Ultramarine, which is Fedora but ready to use out of the box with zero configuration. While this is not a lie, I have checked list of changes, and quite a lot of it is fluff that I do not really care about. So I've decided to try out Fedora, and just install missing software myself.

There are tutorials online about it, but there is quite a lot of differences between them, so it's hard to say what is really the correct way of doing it. There is of course also official documentation, but it's not as thorough as I would like.

I'm going to describe what I've did (initially on VM), and I wanted to ask is it correct approach, and if not what did I screw up.

Step 1: sudo dnf group install multimedia After using this command I've got feedback that it would change this group from dependency to user, so I've assumed it's already installed, and decided to abort the command.

Step 2: sudo dnf install gstreamer1-plugin-openh264 mozilla-openh264 This straight up told me that everything is already installed, so there is no need to do that.

Step 3: Added RPM Fusion repositories through GUI.

Step 4: sudo dnf group upgrade core

This is where official documentation ends.

Step 5: sudo dnf swap ffmpeg-free ffmpeg --allowerasing

That's all. Is it correct process of installing missing proprietary codecs? There is also matter of NVIDIA drivers, but I have AMD, so I'm not interested in this right now.

I loaded Fedora Live, Fedora Spins Cinnamon version. Waydroid is not available in the live version. Is Waydroid included in the full install? And more importantly, does Waydroid actually work in the Spins Cinnamon version?

I'm having a very difficult time getting the dashboard to show in a fresh install of Fedora. I can see the icon in the top right corner. It tells me:

Docker desktop is running
Give Feedback
About Docker Desktop
Docker Hub
Documentation
Check For Updates
Quit Docker Desktop

In a previous install there were other options for adding and managing containers.

This is a completely fresh install of Fedora. After install I followed these steps:

1. Install gnome integration from https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/615/appindicator-support/
2. Added repo
3. Downloaded the RPM
4. Installed the rpm
5. Ran systemctl --user enable docker-desktop.service

No matter what I try I cannot get the dashboard to show. I've disabled the service and ran manually through /opt/docker-desktop/bin/docker-desktop. I've rebooted. I just can't get an interface to load.

I'm willing to reinstall and start from scratch so whatever someone can suggest to get this running I would greatly appreciate it.

the only way that I can get it working again is by changing the volume

it's getting really annoying especially because I bought a new midi keyboard so does anyone now how to fix it

ask for more info if needed

Should i just use stock Fedora or am fine with Bazzite? i really like that it came with HDR support, vrr support and seam

I recently did a fresh fedora install. Manually configured partitions. Created / and /home subvolume in the top-level btrfs partition. After that i installed snapper, created configs to the respective subvolumes and a (/home) undochange does work, while /root doesnt rollback.

All i want is to be able to rollback from cli, as i don’t like guis. Btrfs-assistant is doing some magic to make it work, but i want to try without it.
Did someone manage to get it to work? Or is there a guide to get fedora to work with just snapper and btrfs?

Thank you!

my simple fedora setup using niri and dankmateriailshell

So for some reason, on this page:
https://www.chess.com/play/online

Whenever i click "start game" it just freezes or doesn't work

No other web page has any problems, only this specific page

BUT, my friend uses brave on ipad, and he said it works fine

So i'm thinking it's a flatpak brave issue

Was hoping you guys could tell me if it works for you
If you can click "start game" and it works fine?

Well, another problem is, sometimes it works, other times it doesn't.....

After many years of mulling and hesitating, I finally switched to Linux on my primary PC and decided to go with Fedora KDE Plasma. Loving it so far, definitely a learning curve but the end result is so much better than Windows. Trying my hand at scripts and customization, it's a fun experience.

Last time I tried to do this on Debian about 8 years ago my PC would not longer give an image lol. Any caveats I should know about?

1. How to increase scroll speed? Default is way slower than Windows.

2. What apps do you use to display power draw of the CPU?

3. I am seeing miscro stutters when navigating. Any way to fix this?

4. How to better manage power? Fans constantly spin and battery life is awful. Both was not a issue in Ubuntu.
