I imagine the answer probably involves downloading a kernel driver module for your wifi adapter - may be able to get it from rpm-fusion.

After I installed my system, I went to rpmfusion.org/Configuration and applied their repro install steps.

AFAIK that format is no longer supported by official Fedora packages. Decoding HEIC files supposedly works when the packages libheif-freeworld and heif-pixbuf-loader from the RPM Fusion repos are installed (cf. https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/fedora-38-heic-problem/81790/6).

Only thing I can think that might throw you off if you use one of the Fedora spins (e.g KDE) is that it doesn't give the option to enable RPMFusion during setup. You'll likely want this as without it your system will be missing a ton of proprietary media codecs or access to non-free programs (e.g Steam or Discord). If you've installed stock Fedora Workstation you'll likely already have this I think.

In the case of the RHEL family, "large" updates only occur every six months when a new minor release is cut, otherwise there's not a lot of updates outside of security or immediately impacting bug fixes. Plus as a desktop it can be rock solid (if a bit more bare-bones) and Flatpaks can be used to get software not in the primary repos, which can be expanded via EPEL and RPM Fusion. Non-GNOME desktop environments are provided via EPEL, and RPM Fusion contains useful software like drivers and patent encumbered codecs (usually installing ffmpeg-libs will solve all your problems).

Package management on this system is bewildering. Tried to install ffmpeg via rpm-ostree, got dependency conflicts. Tried to install ffmpeg via dnf inside a Fedora 37 toolbox, got "no match". Can't find it in Flatpak. Not sure how to enable RPMFusion repos. Not sure if/how should enable COPR repo, and if that would help. https://ffmpeg.org/ sends you to https://rpmfusion.org/ , but instructions there don't say how they apply on this distro. [From someone on reddit: "Copr repos are user repos like the AUR or personal ppas for Ubuntu. ... But codecs and all are on rpmfusion."]

Possibly related to Nvidia. Did you try it on X11? Nvidia drivers from RPM Fusion might make a difference here.

Will rpmfusion.org have a guide on this or will I have to remember about this post every time I reinstall Fedora?

I was looking for a lightweight OS to run on old Asus Eee PC 1005 HA, which uses a 32-bit Intel Atom N270 processor. I installed Void Linux (https://voidlinux.org/).

I may give DSL 2024 a try and see how it compares.

Linux Void

My computer is running Void Linux and it has only a wired network connection. I can hook up my phone for USB tethering if I need to connect to the WiFi of the ESP32. How do I update the software without downloading some shady programs from filesharing site links on my system? I have the Arduino IDE and the esptool.py script installed.

Classic "everyone is using the software wrong, but it's the fault of everyone, and not the software".

Some distros like Void seem to patch this out.[1]

From mandoc/mdocml's mandoc_char(7) [2]

In roff(7) documents, the minus sign is normally written as ‘\-’. In manual pages, some style guides recommend to also use ‘\-’ if an ASCII 0x2d “hyphen-minus” output glyph that can be copied and pasted is desired in output modes supporting it, for example in -T utf8 and -T html. But currently, no practically relevant manual page formatter requires that subtlety, so in manual pages, it is sufficient to write plain ‘-’ to represent hyphen, minus, and hyphen-minus.

Which is the common-sense thing to do.

Meanwhile, GNU projects become increasingly less relevant due to obnoxiousness like this.

In general the amount of wankery of "the correct hyphen" is staggering.

So I was about to configure a new Archlinux build on my PC and came across Void Linux. I had already read about it a year ago but never researched it in depth. I know that is a Linux distribution made from scratch, with a different package manager and so on. Void Linux users or people who have tried it, what are your thoughts on it? Do you think the PM is easy to use? what about updates and bugs? what desktop or Tilling Window Manager do you use? could you tell me about it?
