Video Description

Support the channel by becoming a patron at https://tuxdigital.com/membership or get some swag at https://store.tuxdigital.com/ This video walks you through the essential things to do after installing Fedora Linux to make it run smoother, faster, and just plain better. From fixing missing features to unlocking new ones, these tips will take your Fedora 42 setup from good to awesome. Whether you’re a GNOME fan, a KDE user, or somewhere in between, there’s something in here for you. Full Article with all the commands and such is available at: (or scroll down) https://tuxdigital.com/videos/9-things-to-do-after-installing-fedora-42-post-setup-guide/ ### Chapters: 00:00 Intro 00:12 1. Update 01:49 2. Flathub 03:05 3. RPM Fusion 03:34 4. Codecs 04:12 5. GNOME extensions 06:03 6. GNOME tweaks 06:33 7. Battery performance 07:06 8. Apps 07:34 9. Backups ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ### Links: - https://fedoraproject.org/ - https://flathub.com - https://rpmfusion.org/ - https://flathub.org/apps/com.mattjakeman.ExtensionManager - https://flathub.org/apps/search?q=backups ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ### Additional Info for Steps 1. Update Your System sudo dnf upgrade 2. Enable the Flathub flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo Source: https://flathub.org/setup/Fedora 3. RPM Fusion The command doesn’t render properly in YouTube, please go to my website post instead, https://tuxdigital.com/videos/9-things-to-do-after-installing-fedora-42-post-setup-guide/ 4. Multimedia Codecs sudo dnf install libavcodec-freeworld 5. GNOME Extensions Just install the Extension Manager, it eliminates all the headaches that GNOME seems to insist on giving users. You'll find it in GNOME Software store. 6. GNOME Tweak Search for tweak in GNOME Software store and you should find it. 7. Battery Performance You don't need to bother with TLP, if you feel like you must tweak your battery settings then look up tutorials for how to do that on Power Profiles. 8. Install Apps This is kind of an obvious one but at this point you should have most apps available where as if you did this before enabling all of those repos and the Flathub then you might not find some of the apps you're looking for and that's why I included it in the video and why it's at #8. 9. Backups This is a crucial thing to do but there are a ton of options for this. I would recommend doing some additional research for which backup tool would work best for your needs. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks For Watching! #Linux #News #Podcast
