Pre-Bootstrap Checklists

Fedora

  1. Update system with sudo dnf distro-sync --refresh && sudo dnf autoremove and reboot

  2. Enable and configure RPM Fusion repos:

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

sudo dnf config-manager --enable fedora-cisco-openh264

  3. If applicable, deal with NVIDIA graphics

  4. Enable proprietary codecs, then apply Firefox config changes:

    sudo dnf group install Multimedia
sudo dnf swap ffmpeg-free ffmpeg --allowerasing

# Intel
sudo dnf install intel-media-driver
