 ColonelPhantom | Yeah I'm aware of the spin | 13:27:05 |
 VarLad#6567 | Ah, NVIDIA user? | 13:27:20 |
| ColonelPhantom | no, my laptop has just Intel UHD | 13:27:33 |
| ColonelPhantom | I just really don't like GNOME | 13:29:11 |
| VarLad#6567 | Good enough then.
Don't forget to run
sudo dnf upgrade --refresh
sudo dnf install https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
sudo dnf install intel-media-driver
sudo dnf groupupdate multimedia --setop="install_weak_deps=False" --exclude=PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin
sudo dnf groupupdate sound-and-video
After the installation. Then reboot :)
Then you're good to go! The latter steps are for getting hardware acceleration working when watching videos. | 13:30:00 |
| ColonelPhantom | ah right the whole rpmfusion mess | 13:30:45 |
| ColonelPhantom | thanks america | 13:30:46 |
| VarLad#6567 | Yeah, but its a one time thingy in the beginning.
Plus it allows Fedora to be entirely "free" :) | 13:31:29 |
 Jan | Can I suggest against Fedora? | 13:34:34 |
| ColonelPhantom | of course but a) why and b) what would you run | 13:35:04 |
| ColonelPhantom | My usual weapon of choice is Arch tbh and I might just pick that again | 13:35:14 |
| Jan | okay | 13:35:48 |
| Jan | a) because I contribute to it | 13:35:52 |
| Jan | b) I would run Fedora, because I contribute to it
and eating my own dog food is considered a good look | 13:36:07 |
| Jan | note: I do not encourage eating dog food
but it can be pretty good | 13:36:21 |
| ColonelPhantom | how is that an argument against | 13:38:01 |
| Jan | Its that kind of thing where | 13:38:16 |
| Jan | if someone else did it you are amazed and see all the rounded edges and smooth gradients | 13:38:31 |
| Jan | but if you looked behind the scenes and figured out how things work out | 13:38:49 |
| Jan | you start feeling miserable | 13:38:58 |
 Guldoman | As they say, better the devil you know | 13:41:48 |
| Guldoman | Also obviously install Arch | 13:42:13 |
| ColonelPhantom | big part of why im leaning towards just arch | 13:47:15 |

big part of why im leaning towards just arch Although, I think trying new stuff is good since you might like dealing with your new devil more than the previous one :) | 13:53:36 |
| varlad | I use SilverBlue now
I love the experience :) | 13:53:49 |
| ColonelPhantom | Doesn't silverblue/kinoite pretty much limit you to using Flatpaks? | 14:04:39 |
| Jan | no | 14:13:19 |
| Jan | but it does limit you | 14:13:36 |
| Jan | you can't edit your system files | 14:13:42 |
 jgmdev | Recently I installed manjaro on a relative desktop and the defaults on it are pretty good. | 14:33:21 |
