My Fedora postinstall guide

1) Set dnf flags:

In this file:

/etc/dnf/dnf.conf

Specify options based on your preferences:

# see `man dnf.conf` for defaults and possible options

# Default config options:
[main]
gpgcheck=True
installonly_limit=3
clean_requirements_on_remove=True
best=False
skip_if_unavailable=True
# Optional changes:
max_parallel_downloads=5 
defaultyes=True

Explanation:

  • max_parallel_downloads=5 change amount of parallel donwloads to 5
  • defaultyes=True make "Yes" default answer for dnf actions

2) Install rpmfusion repos:

free:

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

nonfree:

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

3) Perform full system upgrade:

sudo dnf upgrade --refresh

4) Nvidia drivers:

sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.{i686,x86_64}

# For hwaccel:
sudo dnf install libva-nvidia-driver.{i686,x86_64}
# For CUDA:
sudo dnf install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda


# For latest drivers (555-560) + wayland you might want to also disable GSP Firmware
