Thanks Sherlock.

Yes.

The fat little happy penguin never resonated with me. And I think it poorly reflects the community. Hence, I’m in favor of a new mascot: tox. https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/980762ff-d7e6-41f9-acc8-edb34772a194.png

Of course, you can put arbitrary distro logos on it.

Great, now all my changes are lost. Thank you very much!

_cnt0, to lemmyshitpost in That's Racist!

What’s the difference between racism and asian people?

Racism has many faces.

_cnt0, to linux in Made the switch to KDE

You’re not entirely incorrect. But, KDE is better.

Welcome to the KDE gang.

Shouldn’t it be 8.5XFree86 in the land of freedom™?

_cnt0, to linux in Switching GPU

When using open source drivers offloading should be automatic depending on demand. You can make it explicit with DRI_PRIME=0 or DRI_PRIME=1. You’ll have to check which is which.

Two more things that came to mind. If you want to use another desktop environment than gnome (default), you should be aware of spins: fedoraproject.org/spins/

Spins work against the same repositories, they just come with other sets of packages preinstalled.

Also, you said you’re using amd gpu. Fedora has the drivers for that out of the box. But due to fedora’s strict FOSS policy, some hardware acceleration features are stripped out of the amd driver. I mentioned you can get the unstripped drivers from rpmfusion. That is detailed here: rpmfusion.org/Howto/Multimedia

The relevant bit being this:


<span style="color:#323232;">sudo dnf swap mesa-va-drivers mesa-va-drivers-freeworld
</span><span style="color:#323232;">sudo dnf swap mesa-vdpau-drivers mesa-vdpau-drivers-freeworld
</span>

Those packages work together with the drivers from the official repos. They can get out of sync. That never happened to me, yet. But if an update mentions some conflict with mesa-*, just don’t do that update until that conflict disappears. If you ever run into the issue you can also undo the last update with the dnf history commands.

Cheers.

Enable rpmfusion for media codecs and things like libdvdcss or unrestricted mesa drivers: rpmfusion.org/Configuration

docs.fedoraproject.org/…/installing-plugins-for-p…

Fedora comes out of the box with a curated flatpak repo. You might want to replace that with flathub: flatpak.org/setup/Fedora

Imho, there’s no reason not to enable disk encryption for root. Luks configuration during setup is very straightforward.

If you don’t have nvidia graphics, enable uefi and secure boot (no legacy options). Fedora works well with it out of the box.
