I went to install fedora on my second ssd (the samsung 870) and it went fine, but now i can't boot without the live usb inserted, as you can see the bios doesn't even show it, but windows can see it
Hey folks,
I just released GnomeFootball, a small GNOME Shell extension that sends desktop notifications for football matches — goals, red cards, kick-offs, full time, and a few other key moments.
There's no panel icon or widget. It just sits quietly in the background and pings you when something actually happens in the matches or competitions you care about.
You pick which leagues and teams to follow from the extension preferences. Data comes from ESPN's public endpoints, so no account or API key needed.
Works on GNOME Shell 47 through 50. Available on extensions.gnome.org:
https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/10007/gnome-football/
Happy to hear feedback, bug reports, or feature requests.
Hello,
How COSMIC DE is performing in Fedora 44? I've made a switch from Debian 13 to Fedora 44 Workstation two weeks ago and it's very fine with extensions, Arcmenu, Dash to panel and App Indicator. I've tried COSMIC spin year ago and it wasn't yet ready.
What is the status of COSMIC and is someone daily running it? Have you switched from KDE or GNOME? Any notable bugs to be aware about? What about multiple monitors, thunderbolt dock?
My concerns are related to GNOME and extensions to make it KDE Plasma / Windows-like. When GNOME releases a new version, extensions must be updated as well by their authors. When that happens, it will break extensions.
I want to achieve the most out-of-box experience which means I don't have to configure the desktop environment for every system I use - if I had to reinstall, I could import the configuration from file. I believe COSMIC has these things covered.
Hello everyone, I'd like to introduce the extension I'm working on. I want to create an extension that makes everything easier from a single location. It's called Bar Enhanced, and I'm putting a lot of effort into it because I want it to make customization easier, all from one place.
What was wrong with offering a workstation and letting the user swap out the desktop? Now I feel like I'm being forced to choose between two different OS. Am I overthinking this? IS the new Fedora 44 offerings (workstation and desktop) the same thing, just different desktops?
I already know I want to use KDE. Everything time I try Gnome, I go back. I wish I could run KDE on my Windows machines too.
Hey everyone,
I've been working on a small open-source project called Gnome Theme Manager and wanted to share it with you all.
I wanted to customize my desktop easily, but I wanted a more straightforward way to apply and swap out GTK themes, icon packs without the hassle of having to download the theme packs and moving it to folders. Soooo, I built this tool to handle all of that from one simple, clean interface.
It is still in the early stages, but it gets the job done and I’d love to get some feedback from the community. If you have any ideas, feature requests, or spot any bugs, please let me know!
I'm loving Winpodx on Fedora Plasma! Running pretty much any Windows program in a virtual machine and it just WORKS!
Only thing I can't figure out is getting my USB microphone to send audio input to the Windows install from Fedora.
Anyone else playing around with this find a solution?

it all started when i switched to from win11 to fedora kde and missed spacedesk and got very sad knowing there is literally no good alternatives especially none for wayland...
Here are the features of my project that are working for now
1)Android as second screen on fedora, arch, debian with DE's kde, gnome and hyprland
but for now all is majorly tested in fedora kde
2)tested on my s7 fe samsung tab, it runs smooth at native res 2.4k and native fps 60 i've also tested 120 on my phone it worked
3)Touch screen as input works on kde! (will implement to other DE's later on)
Here are things that still isn't perfect
1)mouse stutters and runs at lower fps in the android screen(wayland thingy) but managable it isn't very bad it's just not as smooth as rest of the screen.
Here are the how to use my project
ProjectMonitorize here is my repo follow the steps, if you get any problems installing dependencies just ask any ai model or search google for the exact command for your distro.
!!!Very important to follow the steps mentioned on repo to run the app.
if anyone wanna support just raise issues you get or features you want, i wont be accepting pull requests for a while as im planning for the entire desktop app ui overhaul.
after the ui overhaul the project will be made more refined and turned into a flatpak.
I’ve been trying to upgrade Fedora 43 KDE to Fedora 44 for about a week. I first tried several times through Discover, and basically nothing happened.
After searching online and trying to understand what was wrong, an AI agent told me the problem is probably my third-party repos. I have things like RPM Fusion, NVIDIA drivers, Brave, Chrome, VS Code, Tailscale, and a couple of COPRs.
What I don’t understand is: this does not seem like some crazy unusual setup to me. Having external repos, especially for something like NVIDIA, seems pretty normal on Fedora. So I’m confused why upgrading to Fedora 44 would apparently require disabling or even removing a bunch of third-party stuff first.
Is that really expected on Fedora?
Or is the AI misunderstanding the issue?
If this is actually normal, what is the practical low-risk way people handle this?
If not what can be the issue ?
I started with Fedora Workstation which comes with GNOME as the default DE. I installed KDE afterwards, tried it a bit, and decided I simply like it more due to the customization freedom. Now I want to fully switch to KDE only, and I was wondering if there is a painless way to completely remove GNOME from my system and keep KDE, or do I have to do a fresh install?
Thanks in advance, and my apologies if this has been asked many times before.
Like a lot of GNOME on Wayland users, I've been frustrated by inconsistent touchpad scrolling. Chrome scrolls way too fast, GTK4 apps feel fine, Firefox is somewhere in between, and on a high-res display it's even worse. GNOME has no scroll speed setting at all.
WSF (Wayland Scroll Factor) helps by giving you a global multiplier, but that just trades one problem for another: you slow down Chrome and suddenly everything else that was fine now scrolls too slowly.
So I built a GNOME Shell extension that gives you per-application, per-axis scroll speed control. It detects which app you're interacting with (via focus changes and cursor tracking) and applies the right factor automatically. Vertical and horizontal are independent, so you can tune them separately.
Note: This extension depends on WSF (Wayland Scroll Factor), which provides the underlying scroll adjustment mechanism. You'll need to install WSF and run wsf enable first.
This is my first open source project. I built it because I needed it for myself, and I figured it might help someone else too. It's on GitHub, MIT licensed, and you can install it with one line:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ritesh-777/touchpad-speed-control/main/install.sh | bash
It's also submitted to the GNOME Extensions website (pending review).
I'd love any feedback — code review, bug reports, or just letting me know if it works for you (it is only tested with Gnome 50, but should work for version 47, 48, 49 as well).
I switch to linux and wanted to play the finals. I know it works on linux and I have run the game before but now no matter what I do It just doesn't work. I tried increasing memory, installing proton easy anti cheat, checking for new gpu drivers. tried every command in steam, used proton experimental and still nothing. I can't for the life of me figure it out so I would really like some help with this
The system downloaded the update, but after rebooting it won't install, and the ability to control power consumption has also disappeared.
I have posted my desktop here before, but my customization has changed a lot. I was using the WhiteSur and MacTahoe themes before but I kinda grew tired of the MacOS icons eventually. I settled for some time with the Adwaita default icons but I would still look for a theme or Icon Pack that would convince me enough to install it.
I found this theme and I completely fell in love with it almost instantly. The extensions I am using are Blur my Shell, Burn my Windows, Dash2Dock Animated, Hide Top Bar, Just Perfection, Logo Menu, Rounded corners and User Themes.
It has been a couple of months since I made the switch from Windows and I am loving Linux more and more each day, I still have to use Windows for Data visualization though but so far it has been the best decision I have ever made!
If you have any more themes, icons, extensions or anything else you would like to recommend me I'm open to hear about it, I love tweaking my setup with everything :)
P.D.: I am not switching to KDE, I'm too comfortable with how Gnome manages my resources and how it feels on my laptop.
I use discord only for chatting and I occasionally post screenshots. No games, video or voice. I am considering installing it locally on my Fedora 43 KDE, because my browser (chrome) becomes a mess of open tabs and is also a resource hog.
I have two questions.
sudo dnf install discord and sudo dnf install Discord do not work, what would be the best way to install it? Use the .rpm from the site?Thanks a lot in advance.
Hi. I’m trying to decide between Fedora GNOME and Fedora KDE Plasma for daily use on my laptop:
- Acer Aspire A315-24P
- Ryzen 5 7520U
- Radeon 610M iGPU
- 16GB RAM
My priorities:
- good 125% scaling on Wayland
- smooth everyday performance
- some casual gaming (Steam/Lutris)
- programming/work
- stability over endless tweaking
About UI:
- I don’t really care about GNOME customization
- but I don’t like the default KDE look, so I’d probably customize Plasma a bit (transparency, widgets, maybe blur effects)
What I’m worried about:
- whether customized KDE Plasma becomes noticeably heavier/slower on Radeon 610M
- whether GNOME ends up being the more practical long-term choice despite less customization
For people using modern Fedora versions. Which one would you honestly choose for this hardware and why?
