media-driver VS fedy

You might need to install the non-free intel media driver: https://github.com/intel/media-driver

Intel had VP9 decode since Kaby Lake (7th gen); original Skylake (6th gen) could not handle it (see here).

I've heard intel-media-driver was the way to go for supported hardware, but I also heard that it could decode slower than libva-intel-driver (like #925), and that Intel doesn't officially support some kind of decode feature in intel-media-driver, but it's implemented in libva-intel-driver.

I reproduced the issue on my end and opened a ticket to let intel devs know. https://github.com/intel/media-driver/issues/1628

I can see 22.6.6 was released in December ( Releases · intel/media-driver (github.com) ), but I'm having troubles getting it installed.

You should be able to choose FFmpeg VAAPI encoder, though it is suggested that kernel 6.2 is needed for this to actually work. I can confirm that it's broken with my A770, while I can choose the device, encoder is failing. No such problem with my Rapter Lake iGPU.

On GitHub there are similar problems reported: https://github.com/intel/media-driver/issues/1282

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.
