7 Things You MUST DO After Installing Fedora Linux

[@M1a2n3o43]

In my experience extension manager is way better then extension because you cen install extensions from the app itself and also it shows which extensions your system supports unlike extension webpage which can save you a lot time. Otherwise great video, you are the best ☺️

[@DanielSvindseth]

I love my Fedora installation! I used Arch for a long time, but migrated to Fedora for about half a year ago when F35 came out. It is a solid distro!

[@TheBlueThird]

It's really more stable too.

[@Omi_Kasigi]

Same here. Was on Arch for a while. Just moved to Fedora last month.

I love the way you have been doing these type of Videos . Explaining what these changes mean and what they do is amazing. You sir a giving the Linux community a great service

[@TheBlackMage3]

Thank you very much! I'm a new linux user and this video was incredibly helpful for getting my fedora set up and ready to go! I learned a lot from this tutorial

[@SouLeozinho]

About tip #5: The hostname can (and probably should, to minimise any potential errors) be changed on install. It's in the network section of anaconda, in the same menu as WiFi selection.

[@waltz9230]

Ironically enough you can’t change the host name during installation anymore (in Fedora 37+)

[@soupmuncherhahaha]

haha just got fedora installed, the timing of this video was perfect

[@VictorMattaur]

Just rejoined the Fedora world, dropped out in the 20s and back at 40. Thanks for this and any future video I learn from, you are really good at explaining/teaching. Just subscribed and if I stick with it, I am sure to subscribe. Keep up the great work.

[@thebozzIDW]

I got to thank you for these videos, I've recently decided to try out Fedora Linux as my primary Linux distribution on an old laptop and so far so good, I haven't used a Red Hat-inspired Linux since Red Hat 6.2 (which was like 2 decades ago). The only issue I've had coming from Ubuntu was that dnf is missing a feature that apt has, which is auto completion when typing in the name of an app that I want to install.

[@thomaschallenger9481]

Love these videos, so concise and comprehensible. Always come back to this one on my fresh installs of fedora :)

[@subutai5060]

Great video. Love that you explain what the changes mean and where we can find more information. Really helpful for learning about the Linux system.

[@renealbrechtsen9743]

This is a video I keep coming back to whenever I set up fedora. Thanks so much for this. :)

[@TheCzele]

Fastestmirror=true is a common mistake, because fastest=/=most reliable, and that's why its false by default. The next sentence in the doc even says that without it order will be generated by the server to provide the best download speeds

[@TheCzele]

@Aditya Wagh I mean, it finds the fastest mirror, but it does not mean its the best. With this setting set to true the only thing that will be taken for measurement is http response, while Fedora's mirror manager will determine the best mirrors based on a set of fallback heuristics

great video and nicely done! the content, chapters, and notes are all quite helpful.

[@UnhingedNW]

Every time i install fedora, i come back to this video lol. Super helpful because i always forget the little things that you gotta tweak when you install this stuff.

[@gljames24]

This is perfect as I literally just installed Fedora on my laptop. Had already found the flathub and media codecs part, but I'm still having issues with gsconnect install being straight broken.

[@wladefant]

Same thing. The codecs that are already installed are conflicting with new ones. Just add --(something about automatically solve). It then automatically removes the old codec packages.

[@miscellaneous5425]

Great stuff! I've just updated my Fedora KDE to 36 and I was gonna watch the previous video your timing is impeccable! 😅

[@mister_aanderson]

Fantastic video! I almost gave up on Fedora before finding this video, those few (very small and simple) tips actually prevented me from giving up on it and moving back to Ubuntu. The KDE Spin was very nice, but buggy on my 13 year old HP DV7.

[@smoke362]

New to fedora and I thank you for making it a pleasure learning. Awesome tips

[@datadiego]

I have a strange habit of testing distributions; but I end up going back to fedora; and this Mr. TechHut is one of the enthusiasts who inspires me. Fedora to rule them all! Please more videos about Fedora!

Extention Manager is a better choice, than Extentions, it does all the config, but you can also search and install extentions

[@eruno_]

Don't use the fastestmirror option. It is harmful. It tries to connect to the mirror with the lowest Ping but that says nothing about actual bandwidth or package availability. The default without this option is an ordered mirror list sorted by bandwidth and package availability and geolocation, which is generated server-side by Fedora to ensure that you get the latest packages from good mirrors. You get better results without this option.

[@Ryukayashi]

started to use Fedora 36 this week, did almost all these things before seeing your video 🤣 anyway, great vid man👍

[@johnjbateman]

I just installed Fedora 36. Thankyouverymuch

[@FreedomAirguns]

I guess you should have added SELINUX, Selinux troubleshooter (seapplet, sealert) and firewall-config. They're almost mandatory nowadays and I don't understand why they don't come "out of the box". They do on fedora security.

[@typhoon_nz6683]

Fedora is probably my favorite distro and what I am using currently. Have you looked into the Nobara Project at all? Gaming focused distro that is basically Fedora with a bunch of patches and software preinstalled to increase gaming performance

[@ChristianWagner888]

Thanks for the helpful post-install guide. I have used Debian and Ubuntu for years and this is the first time trying Fedora. Overall impression of Fedora is that it is unstable: Discover crashes after activating Flatpak and cannot be started any more. Only uninstalling Flatpak restores Discover functionality. About 20 recurring system crashes within the first hour: kernel-core, fwupd, and others. No backtrace and no solutions found. Overall unusable unless these crashes can be fixed.

[@settrannaing4008]

Thanks. It really helps me to get up Fedora first time.

I've notice that this Fedora 36 launch had a bigger impact in the community than the Ubuntu LTS launch 🤔 what do u guys think ?

[@raresmacovei8382]

Fedora was bound to have newer packages in general (especially Gnome, Mesa, LLVMPipe), default Wayland on everything (where appropriate), latest kernel, more GTK4 apps than Ubuntu, Secure Boot support. A better all around base to work with than Ubuntu in general. The community's opinion is that Fedora has been *outstanding* since at least Fedora 33 and F36 only made it better.

Hi there. A lot thanks to this tutorial! This really helps! But what occurred to me was that since I got Fedora 36 installed on my 2018 machine, I found that the audio on my local disk has no problem whereas that on my web browser is driving me crazy. I constanly hear the background noise, which was like beep-beep-beep, like high-pitched firecrackers. I searched all over the Internet. Then I found the multi-media codecs in this video. But after I did like you do, this situation is no difference than before. Forgive me for my abruptness and ignorance since I just started studying computer science and I just get to know something about the hardware and the system stuff. I would really appreciate it if you could give me some guidance or directions of where I can find the solution. Thank buddy, keep on going. I love your channel and the way you explain things. That really helps. I wouldn't be in such a abruptness if I were not desperate by my situation.

[@amineabdz]

Great video as always, but i have a question ( irrelevent tbh ), will you cover some of the implications of Nvidia finally open sourcing their drivers ?

[@PaulMrPKcom]

Thanks for great info. I use Linux desktop as my daily drive for work on several PCs and laptops. The new Fedora looks very nice and is very fast! I did try it out and first impression is very good BUT... there is huge but :) Some must-have aps for me are not working... Viber, Dropbox (no way to use selective sync and no dropbox deamon ?), Black Magic Resolve Davinci, Google Music app, Timeshift backup not available at all... Beside Davinci all apps are quite basic and should work. All of those works flawless, incl. Davinci, on KDE Neon, which is still the best distro I even tried (=most compatible with any hardware, most app compatible, most stable)! I love the looks and feeling of Fedora but it's still an "experiment"...

Hey thank you man TechHut that was cool that you like to help out people those commands helps too I was following along an using the web site thanks so much only question I have is there a way to speed up boot process on the fedora Linux I have removed my my other operating system an fedora Linux is my main one now ☺️stay positive be strong man your awesome

DNF defaulting to "no" is just insane; having to hit two keys to say yes when 99% of the time yes is what you want just makes no sense. If I didn't want to perform the updates I wouldn't have run the DNF command in the first place! The option to switch the default to "yes" is a must. DNF actually downloads three packages at a time by default which is nice, but cranking that up to five or ten could be handy for today's Internet speeds. I'm not entirely sure if the fastest mirror option is beneficial though... the man page says that the mirror list is already generated for speed, and this option bypasses that.

"sudo dnf groupupdate sound-and-video" doesn't actually do anything since all those packages are optional. It's a really weird group too. Some libraries, but seeminly more desktop apps. I recognize a lot of MP3/DVD ripping, CD-burning era stuff you wouldn't want on a computer in 2022 probably with no CD/DVD drive. So it's good they're all optional (run "sudo dnf groupinfo sound-and-video" to list them).

I would hunt up some multi-media. I found installing Totem fixed most of my issues. You do need to get some codecs that're not pure as the driven snow pure open source, and Mint and Ubuntu and most others go out of their way to make that easy, but Fedora/RedHat do not. In #35 there were issues with live-wire or whatever it's called, with media playback. Now I know the bare metal install guys love it, use it in recording studios and things, but in a VirtualBox on my old i7- on a Mint host, it's horrible. Well most of that seems to have been fixed in #36 and the nightmare to install gstreamer and things has gotten a whole lot better.
