fedy VS mesa-git-extension

Install Fedora, then install fedy

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.

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

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.

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.

That would replace the default Mesa with your build. I recently added these instructions to the mesa-git repository: https://gitlab.com/freedesktop-sdk/mesa-git-extension. What I personally do, instead of replacing the default mesa extension, I build mesa-git using the version of mesa I want to test, and then I start the apps with mesa-git. That way I have both the default Mesa extension and my own build, and can use whichever I want in any specific situation.

Make sure you have a clean working tree. A note on that, upstream still haven't accepted my MR on the branch release/21.08, so there isn't a .gitignore file on this branch like the one I created on the other branches. It's better to copy this file from master and paste it back after checking out the 21.08 branch, this will make it easier to check if the working tree is clean. This won't be necessary after this MR gets merged.

22.1 > 22.2 shouldn’t be a major upgrade? Wouldn’t that be 22.x > 23.x? Also there’s a mesa-git flatpak you can use. https://gitlab.com/freedesktop-sdk/mesa-git-extension

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but that's in question too: https://gitlab.com/freedesktop-sdk/mesa-git-extension/-/issues/9

just to save everyone some time, I was never able to get this to work with Elden Ring, and it seems to be a known issue.
