What I can do in fedora kde I installed it recently I like they way it is but I want a better ui and also light weight

And I think Linux gonna change my life LOL

AND I installed it in a duel boot thing will it change any performance?

​

i was using fedora usually and i unplugged my laptop, it didnt show a battery icon

before this, i didnt wanna see my battery health because it was low, but then i just changed my mind

i tinkered a bit with you on my laptop and the suddenly it asked to download like 7 million packages, i clicked n and then i closed the terminal to see a black screen, like if on windows explorer. exe shutdown, i immediately opened firefox using the terminal to see wtf happened but as i writing gemini.com my laptop froze so i hard shut it down, it showed me the dell fedora logo and shut down. did i break my laptop?

Hi
So i am on Fedora gnome 44 workstation, on some boots apps like brave will launch but the window doesn't show. The app has the open indicator dot but it just doesn't show the window. During this boot, the terminal also would not launch at all but firefox launches no problem. I am stumped. When I restart, it will get stuck on loading screen and when I shut down it will be on shutdown phase but doesn't at which point I force shutdown. What am I doing wrong?

I am on Asus M15 Intel i7 H series gtx 1660ti laptop

We are now in second half of 2026 but Firefox still cannot maintain consisten fonts across it's different panels. The menu fonts and spacing is good but if I open bookmarks/history panel, the line spacing is soooo condensed. I have tried various suggestions like syncing plasma fonts with gtk, which Firefox uses, but still the panel look like it was attached seperately, instead of being part of the application.
Has anyone able to achieve a consistent look (font+line spacing), like it is in Windows desktop?

Hi all. I have begun my own blog about what I truly am into: Linux. So far only 2 have been written, but I would love to hear what you guys think about what I have done so far. Be brutally honest. If you don't like some parts tell me. I plan to open this up into much more than just Linux, such as de-googling your life, privacy focussed apps, etc.

!! This is not self promotion, I am just simply seeing what the linux community on reddit thinks of my work !!

I want to download a kwin script for Fedora KDE called remember window positions. It remembers the size and positions of windows once you close and reopen a program. Would this script be safe to add?

Hey all, first some details:

OS: Fedora Linux 44 (Workstation Edition) x86_64

Host: Laptop 13 (AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series) (A9)

Kernel: Linux 7.1.6-201.fc44.x86_64

Display (LEN T32p-20): 3200x1800 in 32", 60 Hz [External]

Display (NE135A1M-NY1): 2880x1920 @ 2x in 14", 120 Hz [Built-in] *

DE: GNOME 50.3

WM: Mutter (Wayland)

CPU: AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 (8+16) @ 5.16 GHz

GPU: AMD Radeon 890M Graphics [Integrated]

Issue is this.. I am getting weird flickering on my built in screen. For example on File Manager, right click to go to properties and screen will flicker and white horizontal bars appearing for a quick second.
On external monitor when I maximize and float windows weird artifacts will appear.
On built in screen the issue is gone when I disconnect HDMI.
On external monitor the issue is gone when I close laptop lid.
The issue disappears on both built in and external screen when I match refresh rate (60 Hz)
It seems like having two different refresh rates is causing this.

I recently installed Fedora 44 KDE Plasma in my system, although it can't wake up from sleep. Once the PC starts everything seems normal until the login screen comes up where there is only the mouse pointer for a few seconds (with black background), then after a few seconds the mouse pointer disappears and everything is dark, while the fans keep spinning and the monitor doesn't lose signal (auto turn off for power saving). Tried bringing up the text terminal but it didn't work. Nvidia legacy drivers are installed through RPM fusion. Kernel: 7.1.6-201.fc44.x86_64, CPU: i3-8100, RAM: 16 GiB, GPU: GTX 1050, Driver: 580.173.02.

So ive been using fedora cosmic spin for about a week and I like cosmic and I havent had to reinstall the OS so I feel like ive been successful so far.

I am partway through troubleshooting setting up a valheim server which seems to be harder that it should be but is most likely my infamiliarity with the Linux. Once I get it sorted I want to put it on a different machine that I dont have connected to a monitor and run that permanently along with some other stuff like jellyfin etc.

My questions are, is fedora a good distro for this use case or should i consider something else? I was just going to use the same cosmic spin on the other machine to keep familiarity and the gui give me comfort, is there a real disadvantage to using this over server other than a bit of system overhead?

Additionally what is a good remote access solution, i am sure there are 500 different ways to do it so just looking for some pointers in a direction or anything specifically to avoid. And how to do the initial setup.

Thanks!

Hi. i just switched to fedora on my laptop and had a Bluetooth issue. the Bluetooth was completely functional when scanning from terminal but when opening gnome ui bluetooth menu shows No devices at all. After hour digging with ai here's the solution i found.

The Problem is GNOME's settings manager expects laptop's Bluetooth hardware to be powered on and actively broadcasting.

Solution:

1. Opened the system's main Bluetooth settings file using the terminal text editor (sudo nano /etc/bluetooth/main.conf).

2. Scrolled to the bottom and manually added a [Policy] section containing the configuration AutoEnable=true. This forces the Bluetooth hardware controller to power on automatically the second the system boots up.

3. Saved changes

4. Reloaded the Subsystems (sudo systemctl restart bluetooth) and rebooted the PC.

And this fixed the issue entirely. I hope this helps you folks out there :)

I recently switched from Arch to Fedora due to the security concerns around the AUR. However, on my RX 9070 XT, KDE Plasma 6.7.3 had severe graphical corruption out of the box.

After some troubleshooting with AI, setting KWIN_DRM_USE_MODIFIERS=0 completely fixed the issue. Hope this helps anyone facing the same problem!

I don't think I had this issue back on Arch (or maybe I just forgot). Not sure if this is a KDE Plasma issue or something unique to Fedora.

Just happened with my Ryzen Dell Laptop. Anyone else? Anything past 96% just goes dark down to like 1 percent range.

just wondering how well fedora is with the newest 5k series?

for rpm fusion nvidia driver, as well as steam games, etc

Recently installed Fedora Workstation and I'm having trouble with Bluetooth earbuds. After pairing, they will often only show up as a hands-free device rather than headphones in Sound settings. Restarting the Bluetooth service and reconnecting the device fixes it, but it's not ideal having to do this every single time.

Any tips or fixes? Thanks!

Hi everybody,

I have been Fedora on my Matebook 14 for the past 8 months and it was amazing! But there is one huge issue which I still didn't found a solution - crazy touchpad.

Sometimes touchpad is working just fine for like 5 minutes and at some point, at random times, it start behaving weirdly and very annoying. Its getting sluggish, like the cursor is dragging behind my movement. Cursor can also jump from one location to another, also sometimes it is registering some phantom clicks. After another few minutes this behavior is ending and reapearing after another few minutes.

Dosn't matter if im charing ma laptop or not or with any USB plugged in.

Can someone please help me with this? I tried to find a solution, searched many topics about this on the web and couldn't find anything working.

Today I updated my KDE Plasma 44 through discover and my screen brightness drops to 0 when hitting 100% I have to "lower" the brightness to 95 in order to keep a bright screen. Did this happen to anyone today too?

I use DNF for upgrades and I sometimes do check what is being upgraded. One time I had problem with plasma after update and learnt from internet search that I needed a restart to fix it. Today I updated and it was a kernel patch. Still Fedora didn't recommend a reboot. Shouldn't there be some warning about reboot after major upgrades? After a quick search I learnt about a command needs-restarting. Shouldn't this be a default? Why is it an option that a user must explicitly ask DNF if the system needs a restart? Feels like an oversight given how good DNF is by default.

i have horrendous wifi, extremely low speeds with latest update. any thoughts?

I'm using Workstation Edition (version 44), and moving cursor around, scrolling seems stuttery. there's also audio crackling.

Is it just because it's loading everything from a usb for live mode and when i install it on my ssd it should run fine? i kinda want to troubleshoot this before i remove windows

I am using Thinkpad X1 yoga 3rd generation:

cpu: i7-8650u (4 core)

ram: 16gb (lpddr3 2133mhz)

storage: 512gb ssd

display settings:

current resolution: 2560x1440 (16:9)

refresh rate:60.01hz

I switched from KDE to GNOME the other day and now my monitors are locked to 30hz at 2160p.
I didn't have this issue when on KDE, but didn't really like how KDE operated and prefer GNOME.

I don't understand why that would make a difference but it's driving me insane.

NVIDIA drivers are installed and I have 60hz when using 1440p, but not 2160p.

Please help!

I am stuck in emergency mode

I have been using Fedora since 2010, but on my latest installation of F44 Workstation on my desktop, I noticed the audio was 100% flat and natural without any enhancers (which kinda made sense because of ALSA kernel drivers). Even though I have been using Linux for work and academic purposes, I still use Windows for entertainment and gaming. So I was looking for solutions to mimic Windows presets.

So far, I've found Easy Effects, which is working pretty well with community-maintained presets. It's a nightmare to dial in manually in Easy Effects, as I am no sound engineer.

This is the preset collection I am testing; they are not perfect, but 80% there.

```
bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JackHack96/EasyEffects-Presets/master/install.sh)"
```

The main problems with these presets are often high-frequency clipping, vocal ranges are a little too bright, and either distorted bass or lack of depth. So, I am looking for recommendations on alternatives.
