  • Thank you for this! I’m going to use it as a handy checklist of things to configure, beyond what the RPMFusion wiki said to do.

    I think a lot of these I will not need for my hardware, or wait to cross that bridge if I need to. But, one thing I thought was strange that the installer did not configure was hostname. So I’ll definitely copy what you did:

    hostnamectl set-hostname "$HOSTNAME_SHORT"  
    hostnamectl set-hostname "$HOSTNAME_PRETTY" --pretty  
    

    (might need sudo).

    Thanks!


  • Here is what I’ve done so far with RPMFusion.

    1. Installed and configured the repositories via the graphical method on this page: https://rpmfusion.org/Configuration
    2. Add app metadata to Discover via the “AppStream metadata” section. I only needed the first command, AppStream metadata.
    3. Followed the instructions on https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/Multimedia
    4. Installed Steam via Discover, button says “Install From Fedora Linux.” I guess this is --a flatpak-- included in one of the repositories? It is hard to tell what is going on under the hood.
    5. EDIT: Added Flathub (was not enabled by default). Now, flatpak results show up in Discover.
    flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo  
    

    My impression of dnf so far is that the fact that it defaults to (y/N) and asks you more often for confirmation is unfortunate, but I’m sure I’ll get used to it.

    Just an aside, I’ve already gotten the “Oops, we’ve encountered a problem” message, but it disappeared too quickly for me to tell what it was about. Also the start menu doesn’t open any more. (EDIT: Now it works again). So that’s weird. My two monitors were working fine at first, but now I am getting, “Couldn’t apply display configuration: Position of output HDMI-A-1 is negative, that is not supported.”

    So it looks like installing Fedora/RPMFusion is not without its speedbumps, but overall pretty easy!
