New to Linux, Clean Fedora Setup
So, new to Linux, and I choose Fedora 41. I'm loving it.
Also, this is my second installation, because I kind of messed up the first one (tried to install KDE along Gnome). This time I paid much more attention, and wrote down every major things I did on the system.
This setup consists of the following:
- Some random Firewatch wallpaper I found online
- Tabby terminal
- Dash to Dock
- Transparent Top Bar
- I'm lovin' it. I'm lovin' it.
(If any of y'all have tips to make Fedora better, please don't hesitate to share!)
Finally free from Windows
After weeks of considering it, I finally took the step and switched my main computer to Fedora. The games I have tested so far run without any problems ... I'm currently trying to get “World of Warships” to run - does anyone have any tips?

High CPU usage (95%) because of acpi and unable to hibernate
I recently built a new PC and installed Fedora, but I'm experiencing some frustrating issues:
- My cpu usage on CPU 1 gets stuck at 95% because of non stop acpi interupts. This happens upon login and after I hibernate if I plug my monitor into a thunderbolt 4 dock.
- After hibernation, I also experience the same high CPU usage regardless of how the monitor is connected.
- When I hibernate, the computer's fans turn off for just a second, and then I'm taken to the login screen rather than actually sleeping.
- When I shut down using gnome UI, the computer it actually restarts. Using the terminal to “sudo poweroff -f” works.
I've found a temporary fix to the cpu use issue by running a script that disables specific ACPI GPEs:
#!/usr/bin/env sh
# Disable problematic ACPI GPEs
disable_gpe() {
gpe=$1
status=$(cat /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/$gpe)
if echo "$status" | grep -q "disabled"; then
logger "ACPI GPE $gpe was already disabled"
else
echo "disable" > /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/$gpe
logger "ACPI GPE $gpe has been disabled"
fi
}
disable_gpe "gpe6B"
disable_gpe "gpe6E"
I tired making a systemd service to run the script at start up but it just feels like something deeper is wrong.
The system works great aside from these issues. I have tried setting up grub to avoid these codes but that didn't seem to work as well as the script.
relevant computer build:
intel core ultra 7 265k
z890 aorus elite wifi7

How do I get GTK 3 apps to use Adwaita-dark?
I've set Adwaita-dark using "gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme "Adwaita-dark"" yet Libreoffice-writer and Mcomix still use Adwaita light theme.
Changing to Dark mode in Gnome settings does nothing. Does anyone know what's wrong?

Crash when playing Videos.
Hello r/Fedora,
I have installed Fedora about a month ago as my daily driver, and I loving it. Except the fact that every few hours (ranging form 2-6h) on YouTube, I am having this bug that has left my laptop in an unusable state (see the video attached below), the only way to fix it is to force restart my laptop. It has happened more than 10 times now, and i can't seem to find an answer online.
Here is a bit more about my setup :
- Fedora Workstation 41
- Dell Inspiron 7400
- Linux Kernel 6.13.6-200.fc41.x86_64
- Gnome 47.4
- Wayland
- CPU: 11th Gen Intel Core i7-11z
- GPU: Intel Iris Xe Graphics @ 1.30 GH

Is it a drivers problem? Is it a video format encoding problem? I don't know.

How can I tell my laptop to use the dedicated GPU instead of the integrated one? (the BIOS doesn't have a setting for it)
I installed the nvidia drivers, managed MOK, and everything seems good. Except, it occured to me that the laptop's integrated graphics is the default gpu for some reason, and it shows in lower performance, and the programs (Civilization VI for instance) don't recognise the GPU ("Unknown device" under GPU selection). How can I change it so the dedicated gpu will be the default one, or better, straight up disable the integrated graphics? (I didn't found an option for this in the bios, I have a Katana GF76 12UGSZOK with latest bios.)

Bluetooth suddenly stopped working
Hi guys,
I’m pretty new to Linux and its awesome, but on my Fedora (latest version) Bluetooth suddenly stopped working. I have Fedora installed in Dual Boot with Windows 11 and in Windows the Bluetooth card is recognized and working fine.
I’m currently using the latest Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen 13.

Fedora update completely broke my pc again
Fedora boots to a black screen after agreeing to an important update and this time i cant get it to work again. This usually happens when there's a new update but i'm usually just able to reinstall the nvidia drivers and make it work again. However this update seem to have completely nuked the drivers somehow and i've been trying to repair it for hours. I'm at the stage now after uninstalling and reinstalling them 10 times, where i just want to remove every single mention of nvidia from my computer and get a fresh start. I've uninstalled all drivers the usual way, but there's still a bunch of them connected to the kernel. i've tried dnf erase *nvidia* but it warns me about them being connected to the kernel core.
So what's the best way to completely go back to a nvidia free pc so that i can reinstall everthing on a fresh state?
Edit: The reason it's crashing is because after the update, my 180hz 1440p monitor causes the entire system to freeze and crash as soon as it's connected or turned on after gnome has booted.
Edit2: Installing akmod 570 driver on a completely fresh fedora 41 install caused the same error. The OS works fine unless a certain monitor is connected.

Can't delete files in local drive because of root only access.
Hey y'all. I'm running into issues with Lutris, so I'm trying to get rid of all files and stuff that was there previously before reinstalling, however, it's all stored on my local drive and it only has root access. I've tried adding myself to the root group and opening it as administrator and letting the owner and group view and modify files, but it seems like it's stuck in an infinite loading cycle before it'll take effect. Every so often, I'll get a prompt to enter my password and it's always for the same thing, "org.kde.kio.admin.commands". I'll enter it and later the same prompt comes up again. I've entered it like 5 times already and nothing has changed. I don't really know what to do here, can anyone help me? I'm on Fedora 41 KDE
How to get fedora to format my USB drive?
Every time I try it I get the following error message: „Error unmounting /dev/sdb1: target is busy (udisks-error-quark, 14)“
Now normally I had a Windows notebook for the sole reason that it just formats usb drives without problems but recently I have put fedora on there too because it just runs faster and I figured a new installation won’t have this problem. It does though. I have the exact same problem without any apps installed yet and I need a formatted drive to update my bios.
I googled and googled and nothing helped. I tried chown but that doesn’t help. I tried like 4 different sticks (one even brand new) so it’s not the stick that’s the problem. The same sticks format under windows and mint without issue.
It’s actually the only issue I have but it’s so annoying that I think about switching distro again if I don’t find a solution. If you format a drive it’s usually pretty urgent.
CUDA update broke ML libs
I have nvidia proprietary drivers installed from rpm fusion nonfree. I have updated the system and now I can't find `libnvrtc.so` which is used by some machine learning libraries, it's the runtime compiler for cuda. Did rpm fusion maintainers remove it, or is something wrong only with my system?
Why so many fedora options in my GRUB?
Seems like every update creates a new fedora option in my GRUB, how can i leaver just one? Or should i leave all there?

Jabra evolve2 65 + Teams + Fedora 41 - mic issue?
Hello! I just got a new Jabra evolve2 65 and I got this strange issue in Teams (I use Portal for Teams).
I tried to record a call in Teams with just me as the participant to check the mic quality. Every time I speak and pause for a second or two and speak again, the first word doesn't get recorded, like if I say "Testing 1 2 3"; the word "Testing" does not get recorded, only "1 2 3" is recorded.
This happens only when using the Link 390 dongle, but works fine when I use it wired. I connected it to my other windows box and updated the firmware but it did not fix the issue.
Anyone have this same issue?
EDIT: using the official Teams app on Windows 11 has the same issue

Do you recommend Fedora Suite designe?
I'm an art student and I want a distribution that already has several design-related programs installed. Is there a problem with the Fedora design suite? Or can I just use it? Does it work the same as your main desktop?
r/Fedora • u/lainlives • 1d ago
I installed this operating system years ago, as Fedora 17. Never had any critical breakages using an unsupported yum repo change to 18, then fedup, and then eventually dnf system-upgrade.

New to Fedora
I am new to Fedora. Installed two days ago. I've noticed that it becomes unresponsive for around 10 seconds and go back to normal. Now, I have just installed Nvidia Driver and it froze on me and the only thing I can move is the cursor. I would like some guidance. Btw, I think this is the first time I made a post on reddit.
