NOTEBOOK

This site provides accessible information about the installation process of the Fedora Linux Operating System on your computer… and not only!
It is intended to be a “guide” as it includes personal settings for the operating system.
Use this information at your own risk. Remember to make a backup of all critical information before trying to do anything.
My production system consists of a desktop set up by me, an HP Laptop 15s-eq0011np and a Victus by HP Laptop 16, all with AMD Ryzen 5 processors and Radeon graphics.

Installing Fedora 41 KDE Plasma

 

 

Get Fedora 41 KDE Plasma

 

Use Fedora Media Writer application to create a 'Live USB' or download the ISO image from the torrent list.

Fedora Media Writer is available for Linux and Window$..

 

 

Install Fedora

 

Fedora images are hybrid ISO images, so they can be used for DVD burning or flash drive creation. They also work on BIOS and UEFI systems.

 

I recommend using the Fedora Media Writer application to create the bootable flash drive. There is also a version for 'argh' Windows.

 

As this is a "live" distribution, the new OS (operating system) will run from the DVD or pen drive without making any changes to the hard disk. You can test the OS and only then install it on the hard drive.

 

During installation, leave the "root" account disabled. Create a user with administrative rights and a password.

 

After installation, restart the computer and remove the DVD or flash drive. Log in, open Terminal and update the entire system with the following command:

 

sudo dnf update

(introduza a password)

 

Restart the computer to load a new kernel and start the updated applications. Restart on the desktop or with the reboot command.

 

reboot

 

 

Parameterize DNF

 

Fedora uses DNF to install and update its software over the internet. It also automatically determines application dependencies.

 

Repositories Fedora
Fedora includes two repositories by default: fedora, with the same software packages as the DVD and updates, with updated packages. These repositories sign their RPM files to make sure they are valid when they are downloaded.

 

Other Repositories
For applications that conflict with Fedora policy (MP3, DVD, MPEG, binary drivers, etc.) the RPM Fusion repository is required.

 

sudo dnf install https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm https://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
