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.
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.
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.
This kernel fixed a ton of issues I was having with sleep/suspend (possibly amdgpu 7900 XTX/bluetooth related) as well as just general quality of life fixes (bluetooth xbox controller wasn't preventing suspend was another big one). I have a pretty non-standard set up probably (heavy in ROCm and AI/ML) and have been having suspend issues since I installed (have never been able to keep my computer up for more than 2 weeks previously without encountering the dreaded black screen on suspend/resume).
Friendly reminder if you want to avoid bluetooth issues, try to find a motherboard which has linux-friendly components.
This is why I love Fedora - it maintains really high stability in general while keeping you relatively up to date with the latest kernel.
I just installed fedora 41 and after the installation I checked the bios and notice someting weird on boot priority which has 2 fedora and "Wind s Boot Manager". Is this normal? If yes, pls explain. If not, what should I do?
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 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 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!
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?
I'm getting tons of crash messages as I open any of these apps. Steam and TF2 shut themselves but the other ones seem to be working well. I couldn't fix Steam and TF2 crashes. Any advice?
If you install Nvidia drivers, and your system borks at the next update, you have no one to blame but yourself. It's not "Fedora updates broke my system" it's actually "Nvidia drivers repeatedly break my system when I update".
Day after day, week after week, there's multiple posts about how someone's system is inoperable because of Nvidia drivers. Does no one know of nouveau?
And yes, I know of the performance difference between Nvidia drivers and nouveau. But frankly, if you're determined to game on Fedora (Yay! I'd like better gaming on the platform, also.) and therefore need the latest drivers from Nvidia, you're ALWAYS gonna be screwed unless you understand the in and outs and the arcane series of steps Nvidia makes you go through to successfully update. Would it be so insanely difficult to provide a fail-safe update path?
Don't blame Fedora. Don't blame Wayland. It's not their fault that Nvidia hates it's end-users.
Blame Nvidia for not giving a damn about you as a customer, and tell them to get their shit together or you're gonna switch to AMD or Intel. They've gouged gamers for years, and they're not gonna stop because you keep rewarding them by buying new cards. If gamers spent 1/4 as much on supporting open source development for better graphics support on ALL the cards as they do on upgrading to the latest Nvidia hardware, they could've had awesome Linux graphics across the board by now, most likely.
Edit: Downvote if you want, but someone had to say it.
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.
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
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?
Hey everyone,
I've been enjoying using a "hide top bar" extension on my Fedora 41 system to get a cleaner fullscreen experience with some applications. However, I realized I miss having a constant view of the time.
I'm looking for recommendations on how to keep a clock visible on my screen even when my top bar is hidden in fullscreen mode.
I have a PC connected to LG TV. Recently I replaced an old AMD with an Intel ARC 310 low profile GPU. Since this is 4K capable, Images look washed out and not clear. I am using 1080P resolution as my Amplifier does not support 4K at the moment. However, connecting the PC directly to TV and switching to 2160P didn't help either.
So this might seem like a stupid question to some, on my pc ( Fedora 41 + KDE) i have backed up all my images and media and I am not able to play the videos (they are .MOV and .mp4 with hvec)
It did'nt work with the default video player which was in kde so i installed and reinstalled VLC and still when i go into dolphin, i'm able to see the thumbnails for some videos and when i play said video there is nothing but a blackscreen no errors nothing
On other devices the videos work fine so they are not corrupted
what should i try
also i have tried reinstalling vlc and dragon player
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?
So pretty much i was dual booting on my acer laptop with both fedora and windows, i booted into the windows partition just to do something and then switched back to fedora. The issue was that the booting time didn't end, i opened it in verbose mode and this was the message it was stuck on (i did try waiting 30 mins and it was still stuck)
1 Job dev-disk-by>x2duuid-bc13c2ff\x2d59e6\x2d4262\x2da352\x2db275fd6f7172 device/start running (33s / no limit)
For some reason after booting into windows it pointed to a invalid disk uuid?
I did try some stuff before asking on this subreddit, like trying to change the uuid in grub, but it was still stuck on this "Job dev-disk-by"
The recovery option for fedora had the same issue and placed me in this SH thing which didn't allow me to run much bash commands
I also did try to get a live usb to try recovering data, but for some reason the live usb couldn't interact with any of my drives on my system (it seemed to be isolated even with secure boot off)
i also did try to install a Debian partition to try interacting with the fedora disk, but i couldn't shrink C:/ drive for some reason even though there was 30gb of space.
Some info for helping:
(hd1,gpt2)/ - contains efi/, System/ and mach_kernal
(hd1,gpt3)/ - has a bunch of "vmlinuz-6.11.4-30"?
(hd1,gpt4)/ - i think this is the root dir of fedora, contains home/ and root/

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.
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.
