Great, this has just replaced some vim key bindings in my head. Thanks very much!

Whoa, who would’ve guessed there are so many anti-Semites in Israel!?

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.

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

I open the browser, I go to amazon.de, I select a movie. If I have to buy it, amazon gives this funny popup two or three times that informs me that high resolution streaming is not supported on my platform (can’t remember the exact text) which I confirm “yes, I still want to buy it”, and then the player happily streams in full hd (1080p) which is my native resolution. I guess that prompt just checks the user agent string, but the player is happy if it has libwidewine.

I know that Amazon says that, but I regularly watch stuff in full HD (1080p) on linux in Brave.

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

Something not catering to your sensibilities doesn’t translate to “inappropriate”. There’s clear criticism in that comment. Do you want to deny them to voice criticism?

Upvote whore.

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

Welcome to the KDE gang.

many mental gymnastics

Yah, declaring fetuses as a “class of people” requires some “special thinking”. This is stupid on so many levels …

I am confused. I thought this was/is pro abortion and the comparison of “class of people” was to women. Like “Give us Abortions!”, discriminating women will work out as well as enslaving black people in the long run. But the other comments seem to suggest otherwise!?

What message is this meme supposed to convey?

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

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: https://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: https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/Multimedia

The relevant bit being this:

sudo dnf swap mesa-va-drivers mesa-va-drivers-freeworld
sudo dnf swap mesa-vdpau-drivers mesa-vdpau-drivers-freeworld

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: https://rpmfusion.org/Configuration

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