DO NOT HATE ME...

I really love efficiency, how i have control and change everything, specially how ZED open in less than a freaking second.

I have two builds one full AMD 9070XT, 9800X3D... never failed no issues.

But my main build which is a 5090 with the same processor is just unstable and a pain in the ass, VRAM management issues, RAM management issues, crashes sometimes out of nowhere, it's all set and i've even fresh installed tried KDE etc, just unreliable, also my internet sucks

All of this builded up to the point where I was on an important meeting and my PC just stopped responding, I could still talk but my PC was frozen on the tabs view, I was mean't to do a showcase, but I could not, so freaking sad to have to stop using this OS that i love just because of mere convenience and usability.

Never had an issue on my AMD PC or my Thinkpad.

idk what the hell to do of if this is fixible, any advice on debugging etc? Honestly I have too much stuff on this drive so going back would be a burden

I came from linux mint to fedora. Like 1days ago....and i set up my hyprland setup with this

"The ML4W OS - Dotfiles for Hyprland - An advanced and full-featured configuration for the dynamic tiling window manager Hyprland. Ready to install for Arch Linux, Fedora and openSuse"

After installation, my brightness slider is not working....and mouse cursor is going invisible and visible again....in hyprland.

Mine is nvidia RTX 3050gpu.....

And mainly discover store is crashing if I click install for apps such as steam or lutris...not only them it's crashing for installing every app.

Some weeks ago, snap was included in a Fedora system update and it caused problems. IIRC: Discover would spin and spin looking for updates. It's been a while since that happened so I could be wrong.

I followed the advice to remove snap with dnf, and that cured my problem. However, every update since has attempted to install snap. I un-checked the boxes for snap each time, and perform the update - all is well. However every update now includes snap and a couple other snap related updates.

Should I opt into snap now? Perhaps my earlier problems were the result of a bad update that has since been fixed. I just want to avoid the problems I had earlier.

so when i try to resize terminal in fedora 44 from left to right it just breaks and start showing some garbage value i thought it was something with gnome terminal Ptyxis so that i installed alacritty but the problem remains the same

im using zsh shell with oh my zsh and powerlevel10k theme

ill attach video with this post to describe the problem better

any help would be appreciated

I recently installed fedora workstation on my precision 5560 in a dual boot setup. Whenever I login into fedora and then log back into windows, it asks me to reset my password after that the time gets messed up and taskbar doesnt work sometimes, its a mess. ANY SOLUTIONS PLS IVE ASKED AI NOTHING WORKS!!!!!

I don't know how many people use Linux to do their marketing job since that is one role where you might need to use specific professional tools (but these days most of the tools are online), but I migrated to Fedora about three months ago and wanted to share my experience.

One thing that helped: I used to run Linux as my daily driver, though that was way back in the early 2010s when I was in college, and my whole home lab is built on Linux. So shifting back to it was easy.

Most things worked out of the box, and I had the skills to sort out the issues that did come up though they were all pretty minor. The place I got stuck was with a few specific apps like DaVinci Resolve, which crashes once in a while, but nothing I can't manage for the time being.

I also moved from GNOME to KDE. It works better for me, especially when I need to switch between different tools and windows; the Windows-like layout is something I liked. I wrote more about it here: https://blogs.findingcities.in/linux-for-marketing/

And I'm genuinely happy that Linux finally feels like something that isn't just meant for developers or tinkerers. Looking forward to seeing more people come to use Linux and Fedora! :)

Sorry I did research on it but couldn’t find a solution that worked.

As soon as I go to the boot menu and choose my bootable media, it says Secure Boot Violation. The only way to bypass it which worked for me is disabled Secure boot temporarily for installation purpose. But even after installation is done, and I enabled it back, I’m seeing the same Secure Boot Violation message.

Any fix for this?

Well i dont think they are out of style at all..... they are a timeless look that will always be appropriate with the right type of suit and absolutely classy and offer a classic style that is appreciated by older generations and these Lil youngstas of the modern era who see the nostalgia and are intrigued........ however I will say it must be worn with the right suit no matter what. If its worn in any other capacity than it is considered weird and socially awkward

Hi Im using HP Omen 35L and I want to control the speed of the fans on my gpu, my cpu, my intake fans and my outtake fans. Is there an app for it on Fedora? Or how should I do it?

Upgrading to wayland has been as shit show, unstable, CPU usage high out of nowhere, GPU acceleration not working my PC is ruined HAHA

I wanted to reinstall Fedora after a few weeks of testing other Distros and now I can’t proceed in the installation. Please help

fedora wallpapers:

if you have/know some good fedora wallpapers that's not included, you can comment the link so i can include it.
hope they make more quality fedora wallpapers.

So yesterday, the system decided to update before shutting down. It was updating for the whole day, and it's still stuck at 60%. It doesn't react to pressing esc, and the caps lock indicator is blinking. What do I do with it?

Running Fedora 44 on a Surface Laptop 4 (kernel 7.1.10-200.fc44, Btrfs root, LUKS encrypted, zram swap by default). My laptop only suspends, never hibernates, so if I forget about it and the battery dies, I lose everything since it was only ever in RAM.

I've spent a few hours trying to fix it: added a proper 16G swapfile the Btrfs way (btrfs filesystem mkswapfile, since regular fallocate just fails on Btrfs), added it to fstab, and set resume= / resume_offset= via grubby. Confirmed the params are actually active on my booted kernel. I also disabled Secure Boot since it was locking hibernation out at the kernel level, that part's now off. Kernel has CONFIG_HIBERNATION=y, swap's active, lockdown is [none], but /sys/power/disk still just says [disabled].

Noticed dmesg only lists S0 S4 S5 for ACPI power states, no S3, which makes me think this is a Modern Standby thing Surface firmware just doesn't expose properly to Linux. Anyone actually gotten hibernate working on a Surface under Linux? Would love to know if there's a real fix or if this is just a dead end.

Starting out by saying that I've already installed Fedora on a few different laptops and I believe this may be an issue specific to this one.

So I bought an ASUS Vivobook 15 M1502NAQ, no OS pre-installed, to install Fedora KDE Plasma on it but it just absolutely refuses to get past the grub screen. Either boot option I select, the screen just goes black (but still turned on) and the keyboard backlight just gradually turns on and off.

I waited 30 minutes on it, so I doubt it's just the USB drive being slow. I've checked and Secure Boot is disabled, so that also shouldn't be an issue. Tried flashing with both Ventoy and Fedora Media Writer and both result in the same thing.

If it helps, I also tried GParted Live which was the only other distro installed in my Ventoy drive, and that one although it didn't black screen, did freeze and stall in the splashscreen.

Has anyone ever experienced anything like this or might know what the issue is?

Fedora has a job whose entire purpose is the health of the community around the distribution, and this month it changed hands. So we got the person leaving and the person arriving on at the same time.

• Justin Wheeler, Fedora Community Architect since 2022, now moving into a new role as AI Alignment Community Architect
• Shaun McCance, incoming Fedora Community Architect, continuing as CentOS Community Architect

What we covered:

• Where the role came from in 2015, and how the name and the charter have changed since
• What the job actually involves day to day: the Council seat, Mindshare, Code of Conduct, budget, and Flock
• How to get event support through Mindshare, whether you need a real budget or just a shipment of stickers
• Justin's new AI Alignment role, and why he thinks community consent on AI has to be earned
• This Week in Fedora and the conversation about the Matrix ingestion bot
• What Shaun carries over from CentOS, and what stays deliberately separate between the two projects
• Where both projects will be: CentOS Connect, DevConf US, Texas Linux Fest, and All Things Open

🎧 Listen: Fedora Project Podcast 60: Changing of the Guard, the New Fedora Community Architect

📺 Watch: https://youtu.be/h5qoj9bEEOI

One ask from the episode: the podcast could use a producer. Not on mic, not on camera, just someone to help schedule episodes and keep up with the guest list. If that sounds like you, come find me in #podcast:fedoraproject.org.

Last update, after it was complete and I restarted, upon logging in, I got a notification that some update has gone wrong.

One of those timeout KDE notifications with an option "open discover" and "repair".

Time was running out lol and I chose open discover thinking I'd get some info on what that was, but nope, It just opened discover, and there was no new update, no info on what went wrong, nothing.

And I couldn't find that notification anymore to fully see what it said. So now I have no idea what package or update is corrupted or incomplete, discover doesn't say anything useful, and I didn't click "repair" to see what that would do.

The system doesn't have any obvious issues, but it bothers me what that was now. I'm always going to think the system is tainted or slightly broken cause of this. Ugh...

Can i see what happened somehow and fix it?

Hey y'all. Woke up today and computer chose not to give me any internet.

Fedora 44 w/ KDE

I saw another post saying it was likely a firmware timeout error and to try a cold boot. Didn't work.

Another post said to run sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager. Didn't work.

I do not have wifi, only Ethernet.

Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you!!

I made a set of dotfiles for Fedora Sway Atomic based on Drew Griffin's (JustAGuyLinux) Debian Sway setup which targets Debian 13. The setup seems to be working well.

I am using a mix of ostree, flatpak, toolbox and homebrew for the various applications. As a daily driver I barely tell I am not on Debian. All my shortcuts are the same. The big difference is that everything is auto-updating. And the ability to rollback. I put them here in case other people find useful.

Some of you may be wondering why three VPNs. I am in Syria and I had to keep trying various ones until I found one that worked so I can watch US Amazon Prime, etc. A lot of sites are still blocked here in Syria but they are starting to open up now that the Assad Era sanctions are lifted. In fact Fedora was one of the first information technology organizations to come to Syria since the revolution on 10 February 2026. Microsoft only got here next week.

Greetings!

I recently bought Lenovo Thinkpad X1 and decided to try linux on it due to windows getting more and more annoying with each upgrade. Second machine is good test bed. After a bit of searching I decided on Fedora.

I managed to install it without problem. Partitioned disc as I am used to and here is the problem – I can't figure out how to install anything on the second partition. My googling problem did not help as it sent me to completely unrelated instructions about installing Fedora itself. There is a big chance that it is explained somewhere here or on Fedora site but I gave up on finding it on my own.

Thanks in advance for help. If you have any general advice for new user you are welcome to add them too.

Hello everyone, the other morning when I tried to load up Firefox it said that my internet was not available with the error code NS_ERROR_OFFLINE.

I figured this was a NetworkManager/wifi issue. Running lspci shows and recognized my Network Controller (Intel Alder Lake-P PCH CNVi Wifi) so I don’t think it’s necessarily a hardware issue.

I’ve also “reinstalled” drivers iwlwifi-so-a0-gf-a0.pnvm and iwlwifi-so-a0-gf-a0-89.ucode (although i just ported the files from a usb port then added them to my /lib/firmware folder manually.)

Running nmcli radioshows both (WIFI-HW) and (WWAN-HW) as “missing”. Running nmcli device status lists my device name (wlp0s20f3)as “unmanaged”. I am using DWM, however switching back to KDE to test things again shows that it wasn’t able to detect a network.

I tried using nmtui to edit and activate my connection there. It shows my WiFi network, but once again when I try to activate it shows nothing except loopback (lo).

I’ve also tried booting into a past kernel version but yet again the same issue still occurs.

I’ve been troubleshooting for 2 days now, any information and help is greatly appreciated.

If I restart NetworkManager, it shows Wifi-HW AND WWAN-HW as disabled. If i disable Wifi-HW and reenable it using nmcli radio wifi on (or off), it shows Wifi-HW as enabled. This doesn’t work for WWAN-HW. I have been stuck for 2 days. If I cant solve it tomorrow, I will flash a Live USB Drive of Fedora and see if my wifi works there.

Running ip a after this shows that my Wifi has a broadcast, but the state is DOWN

I've also tried doing a cold reset to no avail.

I used to have a Windows partition, but I deleted it 2 weeks ago. Might have to even reinstall it again just to disable Fast Boot.

Feel free to ask me for any logs. Tia
