Fedora

A Linux distro.

Some guy’s installs for proper video playback:

1
2
3
sudo dnf -y install ffmpeg ffmpegthumbs
sudo dnf -y install lame\* --exclude=lame-devel
sudo dnf -y install gstreamer1-plugins-{bad-\*,good-\*,base} gstreamer1-plugin-openh264 gstreamer1-libav --exclude=gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free-devel

OR Multimedia post-install on RPM Fusion. 🤷‍♂️

Also an issue with video playback and how to solve it.

rpmconf is a useful tool. Dunno what it does though. rpmsave, rpmnew - what are those?

Firewall and selinux are enabled by default, wtf?

# dnf

Do this after installation (but maybe it’s default now):

1
2
3
4
vim /etc/dnf/dnf.conf
max_parallel_downloads=10
fastestmirror=True
(also maybe) deltarpm=true

I used this:

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
[main]
gpgcheck=1
installonly_limit=3
clean_requirements_on_remove=True
best=False
skip_if_unavailable=True
# Added myself
fastestmirror=True
max_parallel_downloads=10
keepcache=True

lspci to get hardware.

# Network

Some issue with Fedora abandoning old TLS’s.

# Video and stuff

For Firefox:
You can check hardware acceleration state at about:support page, look at Compositing row. If there’s WebRender, you’re running on hardware. If there’s WebRender (software) you’re on non-accelerated backend.
