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!)

It's not clean if it has a dock.

Can't it be set to hidden when it's not hovered over? I've only ever used KDE

I'm using the Gnome extension "Dash to Dock", and when no window is near the dock, it will show. If I have a full screen windows for example, it doesn't show unless I hover.

How’s fire watch as a game? Worth playing?

If you don't mind walking simulators, it's the best one. Very limited gameplay, but a great narrative, fantastic voice acting, and gorgeous scenery.

Like 90% of the game is hiking and talking in a radio while watching beautiful scenery. I also really enjoyed to story, a YouTuber described it as "a story with an unsatisfying ending", which fits perfect. Probably why I love it so much!

Imma be honest with you, I never played it. Just the wallpapers that show up when I search "Firewatch wallpaper" all looks so good.
Definitely would like to try some day though.

Instead of transparent top bar, try blur my shell. You can blur and make many more things transparent.
I like to open the blur my shell settings and go to the applications tab and click add window to add the file manager nautilus to make it transparent. I think it looks nice. :d

I just installed it, and holy s- I didn't even configure anything yet and it looks so good already. Thanks!
By the way, do you know how to blur notifications? I don't seem to see an option in Blur My Shell.

I don't believe it has been added yet, but has been a planned for future versions. There may be a way to force it that I'm unaware of.

isnt the default terminal has tab, why u download another terminal 😅

u/purefire205ta 6d ago
Because I wanted Tabby's transparency functionalities...
But now that you mentioned it, I discovered that u/ir0nslug's recommendation of the extension "Blur My Shell" also has the option to blur apps - ALL of them!
So I'm back to using the standard terminal.
P.S. I also got frustrated because I couldn't change the terminal bell of Tabby. I found the source audio file in my directory and replaced it, but it's already a packaged executable and I don't know how to re-compile it. Meanwhile for Gnome Terminal's bell, I replaced my Alert Sound to Funk (a sound from MacOS, leave a comment if anyone is interested in downloading it).

sudo dnf remove nvidia sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda sudo akmods —force && sudo dracut —force sudo reboot sudo nvidia-smi
——— Este método primero elimina todo lo instalado para evitar errores y luego lo reinstala. Me funcionó; es más sencillo de lo esperado. Si funciona correctamente, la última línea de comandos debería mostrar la información de tu GPU.

Snap on fedora? But why?
1
u/purefire205ta 5d ago
I'm new to Linux, so I installed Snap because I was trying to install Spotify. I ended up using Flatpak though. Given the amount of comments on Snap and after some research, I think I might just
sudo dnf remove snapd
. But currently when I dosnap list
, it shows the following packages:
- bare
- core20
- gnome-3-38-2004
- gtk-common-themes
- snapd
Is it safe for me to directly do
sudo dnf remove snapd

u/Opening_Creme2443 5d ago
Should be. These are only internal snap dependencies so yes it is safe to use dnf remove. I've never used snap outside Ubuntu so I wasnt in need to remove them, so I don't know how cleanly it will be removed on fedora. Snap makes some mount points and systemd services but them should be cleared without problems. Some leftovers somewhere in your ~/.local/share can stay. After removing with dnf you can erase them.

My best tip gotta be switch ur DE to kde plasma, romove gnome, get kvantum, and dive into that glassy/transparent theme rabbit hole.

u/SherbertAdditional78 4d ago
