Packages from this repository improve font rendering in fedora a lot:
sudo dnf copr enable dawid/better_fonts -y
sudo dnf install fontconfig-font-replacements fontconfig-enhanced-defaults levien-inconsolata-fonts -y
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface document-font-name "Cantarell 11"
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface font-name "Cantarell 11"
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface monospace-font-name "Inconsolata 13"
Fedora typically keeps 3 latest kernel versions. However, what if you want to keep an old specific kernel version which is known to work well with your system? First, we need to install a dnf plugin that allows us to keep a specific version of any package:
sudo dnf install python3-dnf-plugins-extras-versionlock
Lets find all available kernel versions for your system:
sudo dnf list kernel --showduplicates
Install that specific version of the kernel:
sudo dnf install kernel-5.3.7-301.fc31
And lock it:
sudo dnf versionlock add kernel-5.3.7-301.fc31
To remove the lock:
sudo dnf versionlock delete kernel-5.3.7-301.fc31
Fedora 31 has started to use cgroups v2 by default. According to Common F31 bugs it doesn’t play nice with Docker, lxd and others. To make fedora switch back to the old cgroups:
sudo grubby --update-kernel=ALL --args="systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=0"
To start an application automatically in fedora, you need to create a *.desktop file in the directory ~/.config/autostart, for example:
gedit ~/.config/autostart/flux.desktop
The content of the file can be something like:
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=flux
Comment=xflux
Exec=/home/jsn/app/xflux -l 52.3837151 -g 4.8806328
Terminal=false
If you need to find out, for example, which package in fedora provides htpasswd command, you may do it with the command:
yum provides \*bin/htpasswd
