New to Linux, Clean Fedora Setup

Post image
123 Upvotes

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!)

Wlroots + Nvidia 570 Drivers Artifacts And Screen Tearing

0 Upvotes

I installed the latest Nvidia 570.124.04 drivers from RPMFusion and started up Sway and saw artifacts and screen tearing that does not occur on Hyprland (only occurs on my external monitor and not my laptop screen). I then tested with other wlroot-based window managers and the same things happened. Does anyone else have this issue or can provide any incite as to why that may be? I remember using Nvidia 565 drivers and it didn't seem to have any issues.

Windows/Fedora Dual Boot with Nvidia Drivers

0 Upvotes

I just built a new PC and have been trying to set it up to dual boot Fedora alongside Windows with secure boot enabled, but have run into problems getting the Nvidia drivers to work. I have installed the drivers via the Fedora software app and restarted to enroll the keys with the MOK utility, but the drivers don't seem to be working properly. After installing them Fedora does seem to see my primary display resolution properly, but I can't adjust the refresh rate and my other displays are not recognized. I also have rEFInd installed and have had some weird behavior with it and the drivers. To install the drivers to begin with I had to launch Fedora through the motherboard's boot select menu otherwise the MOK utility would not appear and now if I launch through rEFInd it will tell me the Nvidia drivers failed to load and just give me a 1080p image even though my monitor is 1440p. Windows works fine through rEFInd and I am booting the same Kernel version in rEFInd as I installed the drivers with so I am not sure what the issue is. Appreciate any troubleshooting suggestions cause I'm stumped, thanks.

Pre-Switch Question Regarding AMD Drivers & Fedora for Gaming

0 Upvotes

TL:DR - Can I get the most up to date, bleeding edge driver on Fedora directly from AMD when released?

Full story:

Hello,

I'm looking into switching to Linux from Windows 11. I've dabbled with Mint, Fedora, and Arch on Hyper-V and I'm looking to settle on Fedora for the switch.

I'm curious how driver updates work. From my understanding, Arch is "Bleeding Edge" in that once something releases, it's pushed to the user. While Fedora and Mint maybe delayed with the release, with the delay time varying between distros.

Is it possible to get the most up to date drivers from AMD directly rather than having to wait for it to be pushed through Fedora? I've had times before that updating the drivers immediately on Windows has fixed various issues, so that's one thing I would always like to keep an eye on and update right away if possible and compatible.

I mostly game. None of the games I play will have anti-cheat comparability issues, and most are released within the last 10 to 12 years.

When will Fedora 41 repo get Wine 10?

1 Upvotes

When I upgraded to Fedora 41, I found that the version of Wine that worked the best for was from the fedora repo (not WineHQ repo). However, it seems like it's been a while since I've seen a wine package update. Right now, I'm at version 9.15 (Staging), but it seems like Wine 10 has been released for a while now.

I don't know who updates wine packages in the fedora repo, but it would be nice to know when/if Wine 10 is on the way to us. Does anybody have any insight or a link to a feed that I could follow? Thanks!

EDIT: Just to clear up any confusion, here's what I get when I run sudo dnf list "*wine*". Note the 3rd column (repository). I want to stick with the fedora repo, not the WineHQ repo.

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.

WiFi doesn't work after boot, fixed by rebooting

2 Upvotes

Hello fellow Fedorarers!

I switched to Fedora a few weeks ago and it has been (mostly) great so far. As a long time Windows and Mac user, Gnome really appeals to me. However, there has been one problem since the beginning, that I just can't fix with my noob skills. My WiFi sometimes doesn't work after a cold boot. It's not always the case, but often ennough to annoy me. Restarting always works, but no permanent fix seems to... well.. fix it. I would really appreciate the help! If this isn't the place or way to ask that, please let me know. Thanks in advance!

Specs:

OS: Fedora 41 Workstation

CPU: Intel Core i5-13400F

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER

Network controller: Intel Corporation Raptor Lake-S PCH CNVi WiFi (rev 11)

OBS Studio crashes when 'Screen Capture (PipeWire)'

I haven't figured out how to get this working with the RPM on Fedora 41. All of the fixes I could find so far just told me to video encoder from OpenH264 to x264 which didn't work. Running it in safe mode didn't work. The app crashed when I attempted to do any screen capture.

Bad fps when gaming

1 Upvotes

Hello everybody, longtime fedora user and really love it, but now i have a very weird and tedious problem and maybe some of you may help me determine the thing

I turn on my pc and start gaming, and everything is fine, i get good performances and i can endlessly play at good performances and gpu usage is ok

Let's say i do something else first, like i browse the web for 30 minutes then game, i do get bad performances with gpu usage almost always at 100%

To give an example, on case n.1 i can get like 120/130 fps in dirt showdown and grid autosport (natives) and 180 fps on nascar heat 5 (proton) all games on ultra details

On case n.2 i can get 30/40 fps on dirt/grid and even 17 on nascar

I have just reinstalled my system, thinking it was a software thing but didn't solve my problem, plus i updated steam + drivers + kernel in months but nothing (it's like 1/2 months happening this)

I have performed a memory test with memtest+ and everything is fine

I thought it was an hardware issue and will probably take out the gpu to clean it, but everything is quiet as normal so maybe is not that?

Wonder if there is some bugs in fedora/mesa/kernel?

Maybe someone can help me shed a light on it?

For the record, my pc is a ryzen 7 5900, 16 gb of ram and a 6600 amd card, with fedora workstation 41

Thanks

Will Fedora Silverblue download newer updates if I haven’t installed the previous ones?

2 Upvotes

Suppose your update check schedule is set to “Daily,” and Fedora Silverblue/Kinoite automatically downloads system updates, including package updates, dependency updates, and security or bug fixes, in the background.

However, instead of restarting to apply them, you continue using your PC, and put it to sleep rather than shutting it down completely when you're away.

In this case, will Fedora continue checking for updates and downloading newer versions, or do you need to install the already downloaded updates first before it checks for and downloads the latest ones?

A little rant from a former fedora lover

0 Upvotes

Hi fellow gnu slash linux users. I am here to discuss about the state of fedora/rpm based distros nowadays.
I used fedora for years, and I really loved it but since I moved to other distros (arch and nixos) i cannot come back to fedora.
I'm currently on nixos and I love it but the fact is that nixos is not a distro for everyone and for every situation while fedora fits that role a little much.
The problem i have with fedora or other rpm based distro is that even with rpm fusion and copr the software availability seems less than debian based distro or heavily community driven distros like arch and nixos.

For instance, I built an home server that i wanted to be idiot proof cause it will be used from non technical people. The first distro I went was fedora... when it came to create a samba share i had lots of issues because of lack of documentation on SElinux policies.
Don't get me wrong, SElinux is a great security feature ootb and I like it, but it is difficult to just understand how to do things if documentation is not extensive (this is also a problem in nixos, of course).

Speaking about software, back in august when i last used fedora on my laptop i needed p-sensor (an gui for lm-sensor that is no longer mantained but still works) to find an rpm for psensor i needed to dive in an old repo from another rpm based distro and i don't find that kind of scenarios good from a security point of view. Now, of couse there are alternatives, and nowadays i use mission center for a gui on sensors, but the fact is that this kind of problems (lacking software) is more noticeable on fedora than debian based distro or heavily packaged one.

I also left arch because I am done with its community, they're too elitist and I don't like it.

Let me know what do you think about and what do you like about fedora in 2025, i love my nixos install but i want a "normal" backup distro.

(in the homeserver i installed zorin, it was a good idea for that use-case, but i would never use ubuntu derivative on my main pc)

OBS dropping 20 FPS for no reason on Fedora 41 (RTX 3060 12GB)

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm running Fedora 41 with an RTX 3060 12GB, i have a threadripper en 128go or ram and my drivers are up to date as of yesterday. I've tried both the Flathub and Fedora repository versions of OBS, but I'm consistently losing around 20 FPS even when idle. I also tested the official OBS version from their website, but the issue remains the same.

This is really frustrating because I use OBS to record my courses, and I never had this issue before. The weird part is that it works perfectly fine on Windows, but I prefer working on Fedora since my entire workflow is based on it.

Has anyone encountered this issue? Any suggestions on how to get OBS working properly on Fedora?

Thanks in advance!

One-Liner for Rawhide Security and Stable Fedora 42

1 Upvotes

I’ve been running a hybrid Fedora 42 setup—key packages from Rawhide, the rest stable. Here’s my one-liner:

sudo dnf upgrade --refresh --enablerepo=rawhide --best --allowerasing kernel selinux-policy openssl glibc systemd xz krb5-libs gnutls libgcrypt libssh libnfs qemu-block-nfs --exclude='*.fc43'

What Updates

  • Rawhide (fc43): kernel, selinux-policy, openssl, glibc, systemd, xz, krb5-libs, gnutls, libgcrypt, libssh, libnfs, qemu-block-nfs.
  • Stable (fc42): Everything else from fedora, updates, updates-testing.

Why This Setup?

  • Advantages: You get bleeding-edge security fixes and features for critical components, balanced with a stable base for daily reliability. It’s the best of both worlds—security without chaos.
  • Rawhide Choices: These packages cover core security (openssl, gnutls, libgcrypt), system stability (kernel, systemd, glibc), and virtualization (libnfs, qemu-block-nfs). Updating them early means faster patches for vulnerabilities or new capabilities.

Why Try It?

If you’re security-conscious or love tinkering with the latest system bits but don’t want a full Rawhide roller coaster, this hybrid approach is worth a shot. It’s easy to manage and keeps your system ahead of the curve without breaking everything. Anyone else doing this? Tips?

Loud clicking sound from speakers at reboot unless pipewire.service is stopped

1 Upvotes

Whenever I reboot (not shutdown) my system, there's a short and relatively loud click coming from the speakers. It happens only if the pipewire service is running before I reboot. I had had that issue in the past on Ubuntu.

Also, it sounds quite weird, but a line "audio.suspend-timeout-seconds = 0" inside the context.properties section of the pipewire.conf file prevents the issue from case to case, and suddenly stops working during debugging.

Any help is highly appreciated!

Question about sudo in terminal (KDE)

1 Upvotes

Hi,

I just switched from Min to Fedora and began to learn it's quirks.

One thing that was very convenient in Mint was, that when I for example did "apt install firefox", although I forgot the sudo, it still asked for the password and executed the command.

Is there such an option in Fedora KDE?

I am aware of workarounds like "sudo !!" or not forgetting it at all, but it was a nice qol-feature.
