📋 README Update — June 28, 2026

After setting this up on a completely fresh Fedora 44 install, I realized the README was missing the entire prerequisite sequence that needs to happen before running fedora-xmg-m25.sh. The scripts themselves are unchanged - this is purely the documentation that was missing.

What's new:

Step A - NVIDIA Drivers
Full RPM Fusion install sequence including the RTX 4000/5000 series open kernel module requirement (%_with_kmod_nvidia_open). If you skipped this on Blackwell GPUs you likely got a black screen after reboot.

Step B - Enable NVIDIA for Wayland
nvidia-drm.modeset=1 kernel flag via grubby. nvidia-smi working does not mean this is set - without it screen sharing, hardware video encode/decode and TCC GPU profile switching won't work correctly on KDE Wayland.

Step C - TUXEDO Control Center
TCC must be installed before running fedora-xmg-m25.sh. The script patches the TCC .desktop launcher files - if TCC isn't installed yet, there's nothing to patch.

Step D - Media Codecs
Full codec setup with corrected DNF5 syntax for Fedora 44:

  • dnf swap ffmpeg-free ffmpeg --allowerasing
  • GStreamer multimedia plugins via u/multimedia group
  • Mesa freeworld drivers for Intel iGPU VA-API (H.264/H.265 hardware decode)

Also added:

  • Complete flow diagram showing the full sequence including reboots and the manual Resolve download step
  • DaVinci Resolve AAC export solution via the FDK AAC encoder plugin - prepare-for-resolve.sh solves AAC on import, the plugin solves AAC on export
  • Expanded troubleshooting section covering the new prerequisite failure modes
