- What is the ultimate properly way to install codecs in fedora?
- I'm new to the Fedora world, what are the best Fedora programs that you can't live without?

Are there any distros somewhere between Fedora and Nobara?
Install Fedora, then install fedy

Is it a good idea to use this?
I am a Linux noob and I decided to start on Fedora (KDE spin) but I found it really hard to install NVIDIA drivers. I couldn't get them to work no matter what I tried. I then found this piece of software called Fedy that seems like it would help me but I haven't seen it recommended anywhere.

Simply impossible to install NVIDIA drivers
Try Fedy to just install all that stuff and the codecs. Glorious little tool that doesn't get enough love. https://github.com/rpmfusion-infra/fedy
- Curious about Fedora
- Linux is mentioned in this sub BINGO
-
Why is everyone all of a sudden using Fedora?
Despite rumors that RpmFusion won't do it (which are untrue and based on ONE maintainer saying he personally was not interested), efforts are alive and well to bring the support to RpmFusion - see github and bugzilla for rpmfusion - so I would suggest just being patient and giving them the time they need.
- Fedora should be more user friendly?

Noob at Linux/Nobara project, wifi problems
Install a tool called Fedy (here) it has some cool tweaks for fedora. But what you need is in the drivers tab, install the broadcom drivers. But only do this if you actually have a broadcom card! If your card is mediatek, it should work but sometimes its hit or miss, even on windows. If its intel, you should not have any problems. Try other distro like popOS or ubuntu in live usb (you dont need to install it) and see if wifi is better. You can also try to install a different more recent or slightly older kernel, it might be a bug with your wifi drivers in the current kernel nobara uses. Other distros also have different kernels so you can check how the wifi behaves in them as i said.

The Return of the Frame Pointers
I think I might have confused two unrelated posts. The one that references Polar Signals is this one:
https://gitlab.com/freedesktop-sdk/freedesktop-sdk/-/issues/...
So not a perf issue there, but they don't think the workflow is suitable for whole-system profiling. Perf issues were in the context of `perf` using DWARF:

- Finally mesa version 23.1.1 for fedora 38 has been published for testing 11 hours ago. It comes with quite important features like vulkan gpl for RADV to fight stutters in games and for better performance.

Yocto
But the fd-sdk https://gitlab.com/freedesktop-sdk/freedesktop-sdk and gnome build meta https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-build-meta projects can prove as good references.

Rant: Desktop Sandboxing
With all of these hypothetical features out of the way and looking just at current release software, Flatpak allows you to do so much stuff that isn't accessible for a not-so-techy user. Custom installation folder? Yep. Running mesa-git GPU drivers? You got it. Any way to easily do this via GUI? In typical Linux fashion, nope. For a GUI focused packaging format this is a big letdown.
- Issue found for: Steam Deck Issue With Flatpak Hardware Decoding
- Steam Flatpak. Tried RADV_PERFTEST=gpl with proton-ge-54 but doesnt seem to be working when compared to using it with Bottles. Please see if I did it right.

Is there any way to force a specific Mesa driver for applications when multiple Mesa driver versions have been installed?

Fedora Workstation 38 Is Shaping Up To Be Another Fantastic Release
You can load up Mesa GIT using environment variables, see here. Honestly what I miss the most from flatpak Steam is properly working non-Steam shortcuts, but I've given up on that.
- Are all AMD GPUs equally well supported?

PSA: The new OBS update breaks VA-API encoding when used with the Flatpak
It was my understanding that the packages for vaapi are just put into the -extra version of the sdk so app maintainers can opt out, but they are still available if they want to use them. See https://gitlab.com/freedesktop-sdk/freedesktop-sdk/-/merge_requests/10616
