How to Install Fedora Linux Version 39 from Start to Finish + Basic Configurations [2024]

[@MrGlobalexchange]

As one of the first to happen upon DS' channel, I am again thankful that a content creator like DS has been able to consistently offer concrete and clear presentations on a wide variety of installs and troubleshooting topics.

[@Digital-Scriptorium]

Glad you enjoy it!

I haven't used Fedora in years but I'm contemplating throwing it on a laptop. Thanks for the video!

[@Digital-Scriptorium]

Yeah, give it a go for sure!

[@walter_lesaulnier]

I've had Fedora with KDE Plasma on my newest "daily driver" PC for about 9 months now and love it. Kernel and packages are 95% as new as Arch, but without the Grub, Pacman, and Keyring headaches. Fedora's implementation of Wayland is EXCELLENT- especially for multiple monitor setups with different resolutions. Also, it doesn't get "confused" when going back and forth between a virtual machine and the host the way x11 does sometimes.

[@Digital-Scriptorium]

Nice!

[@Captain_Rimmer]

Fantastic video. Clear, concise, and informative.

[@Digital-Scriptorium]

Thank you and enjoy!

I found this tutorial when I first checked out Linux and used it to switch from windows 10 to fedora. This tutorial is really great for new beginner's I am even sharing it with new beginners who want to switch to fedora. This tutorial is great. Great job.

[@Digital-Scriptorium]

I appreciate it and I'm happy to hear it's helpful! :)

[@JEETRICO]

Have you faced any issues after installing?

[@Digital-Scriptorium]

I do know some bugs have been popping up.

[@Cool-Linux-Penguin]

@@JEETRICO Nope clean install. The first time was because I was very new to linux the second time I understood what I needed to do and did it correctly and everything from now on was easy and clean.

@@Digital-Scriptorium Huh? I haven't faced a single bug on fedora yet.

Do I need to create Bootable thumb drive using both Rufus and Fedora Media Writer ?

[@Digital-Scriptorium]

One or the other. I just wanted to show two methods for creating one.

[@harshtambe2483]

@@Digital-Scriptorium Ok thanks, One more doubt I have..... Should I install Ubuntu or Fedora ? As I am new to Linux I don't have any prior experience.

[@Digital-Scriptorium]

Well both are great. I have a video on Ubuntu as well. I personally am a Debian person. My pick for the easier to learn Linux options would be either Ubuntu or Debian to start.

Should I remove the USB after install ???

[@Digital-Scriptorium]

Yes, you should.

[@CubbyTech]

I was so frustrated when I could not do 'sudo' as I was not root / administrator. Fedora really went the wrong way here and I probably won't use this because it's such a roadblock.

[@Digital-Scriptorium]

I hear ya. I prefer Debian myself but I like to show different distro options.

[@georgemendle5587]

Just quite downloading RisiOs. Mean, I don't need window vibes again. I guess I am moving back to debian. @@Digital-Scriptorium

[@Digital-Scriptorium]

Debian is what I consider the vanilla Linux experience IMO.

[@CubbyTech]

Following up - the solution was to use/run Nobara! It has so many 'helper' shortcuts that I don't even think about it anymore.

[@Digital-Scriptorium]

Interesting

Fedora is not the best for gaming I would use Garuda Linux if you want only Steam games installing Xbox360 drivers is simple VIA Terminal it's basically better than SteamOS and overclocks your computer for you on how light weight it is.

This is true. Thank you for the info.

What's the point of this video if you're not going to show partitionning the hard drive, 99% of the people can't just nuke their Windows.

[@Digital-Scriptorium]

I didn't mention it or show it as it's not my recommendation to have Linux and Windows on the same drive. Windows updates have a nasty habit of damaging GRUB.
