i just love to wiggle mouse in my free time when i am on my Manjaro kde VM. It just feels so good but them my GNOME based fedora 44 didnt have it because jiggle and wiggle are outdated...and weell wiggly...it just doent work with the similar physics of KDE with incremental size increase.

So , to give myself a break from my work I VibeCoded this.

Yes i openly am stating that this is a VIBECODED project and welll i made it for myself and am sharing it here. It was a break from my sullen work and also from testing and debuuging my main project which i have to do manually , ScreenGuard, which well some people here must know atleast by now after my vigourous campaign everywhere about what this is...but nevertheless getting into this topic, I can atleast assusre u one thing, I will continue updating it atleast once every month if i find any bugs or any issues are opened in the repo.

So please feel free to use it, or even contribute. I will be adding the contibuting.md after a few hours, its been a looong day.

Thank you all for co-operating and Please donot tag it as AI slop because yes i myself am stating its vibecoded a lot eventhough i ask people not to do it...So if you really want the kde-ish wiggle, u can try it out, if you dont feel good about the vibecode then dont , completely upto you .

Made the switch from Fedora Workstation to Silverblue because only RPM app I was using was Brave, rest all were flatpaks or appimages. So made the switch.

One of the few things I don't like about GNOME is gnome-software. It's was always slow and buggy for me, so I decided to fork and fix it using an LLM (I'm a software dev, but I don't code manually anymore and I don't know C).

The result is quite impressive. I rewrote the whole core to follow a more functional/immutable design to make all the races structurally impossible.

I made a COPR for Fedora 45 to roll this out to my family members who keep complaining about gnome-software.

Workstation

sudo dnf copr enable user2f81ca72f/gnome-software-next 
sudo dnf upgrade gnome-software

Silverblue (what I use)

sudo curl -fLo /etc/yum.repos.d/gnome-software-next.repo https://gitlab.gnome.org/user_c1a5830a/gnome-software-next/-/raw/wip/core/contrib/gnome-software-next.repo
sudo rpm-ostree override replace --experimental --from repo=gnome-software-next gnome-software gnome-software-rpm-ostree

Here is the repo: https://gitlab.gnome.org/user_c1a5830a/gnome-software-next

Contributions are welcome. This can never be upstreamed as all generative AI is banned from gnome-software.

Would you use a vibe coded app?

My fedora install broke, how do I fix it?

Hey guys, I've been using this specific install for 2-3 weeks now and after a reboot, my external monitor stopped connecting (through both the HDMI port and a usb c HDMI adapter), I stopped being able to change my laptop's resolution, stopped being able to connect to the internet etc. It seems like all my drivers just decided to die together. Even the animations seem to have left, every menu pops in and out of existence instead of the smooth animations Plasma usually has.

I got into grub and into the rescue and in the rescue, everything seems to work completely fine. it's the main installation that seems to be completed broken. I use a dell latitude 7480, i5 6300u, 16GB DDR4 and 256GB SSD.

Fedora 44 KDE Plasma edition

How would one go about reinstalling/fixing this?

Watch the raw, glorious, Linux kernel initialization :)

Hello Internet, I just installed today my Fedora KDE Plasma on my Laptop.

I plan to use it as my Daily Environment for Vibe Coding. And like to use this as a stepping stone to learning Linux.

I would like to ask what configuration can be smoothen my laptop since it is a 2012 Toshiba Portege,

Specs

I5 3rd gen

10gb ram(2gb soldered + 8gb ddr3)

256gb (edit) M.2 NVME SSD

Thanks for the help :D

Hi all !

I'm having an issue with Steam (rpmfusion-nonfree-steam and flatpak) on Fedora 44 WS, every game I install ends up suffering from disconnections, lag, or massive rollbacks. For example, AOE4 floods the match with disconnection messages. I also installed the Blizzard launcher and Diablo 2: Resurrected as "non-Steam games", but my character constantly snaps back to a previous position, and it takes several seconds to interact with anything, issues that don't occur offline.

I've tried disabling features like streaming and overlays within Steam, as well as turning off the firewall and even SELinux, but nothing makes a difference.
The only thing that significantly mitigates these issues is playing in windowed mode.

Do you have any idea what might be causing this?

Hi everyone,

I'm currently running Fedora 44, which was originally installed with LUKS encryption enabled out of the box (Btrfs filesystem inside LUKS).

A few months ago, I removed a previous dual-boot setup and expanded both the LUKS container and the Btrfs filesystem to occupy 100% of my drive.

Now, I want to shrink my encrypted Fedora partition to free up space and set up a dual-boot with CachyOS to separate mi games from my work set up. Since I previously expanded the partition and LUKS container, I want to ensure I don't damage the LUKS header or corrupt my data during the shrink process.

Before booted into a Live USB to make changes, I have a few questions:

1. Order of operations:Is the correct process `shrink Btrfs filesystem -> shrink LUKS container (cryptsetup) -> shrink outer partition`?

2. Tools:Can GParted on a Fedora Live USB safely handle unlocked Btrfs inside LUKS, or is it safer to do it manually via terminal commands (`btrfs filesystem resize` and `cryptsetup`)?

3. Safety / Precautions: What is the exact procedure to back up the LUKS header (`cryptsetup luksHeaderBackup`) before modifying partition boundaries?

Any step-by-step advice or warnings from anyone who has done this on Fedora would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

I missed PowerToys Color Picker after switching to Linux, so I built my own Archtoys

v0.3.0 is out now, adding CMYK, HSLA, OKLab, OKLCH, and color names, on top of the existing magnifier, color history, shades, auto-copy, etc.

It works on Fedora KDE, GNOME, Arch and X11/Wayland, and there's a COPR package:

```

sudo dnf copr enable mujtaba1i/archtoys

sudo dnf install archtoys

```

It's free and open source, written in Rust and Slint, it is super fast

Github: https://github.com/Mujtaba1i/Archtoys

Am I the only one or has anyone also experiencing this incredibly painful download speed of DNF? This been going on for weeks in my case. I tried modifying dnf.conf, using DNF5, and even using default configuration of my network but nothing worked. I'm loving Fedora but this is just frustrating.

EDIT: FIXED. Had to enable the repo.

I'm using the Flathub version of Proton VPN for a few months now since the Fedora version doesn't exist. The documentation by Proton says that on step 4 I need to use this command:

sudo dnf install proton-vpn-gnome-desktop

When I use it, I get this error message:

Failed to resolve the transaction:
No match for argument: proton-vpn-gnome-desktop

I am on Fedora 44.

Hi All,

I'm Facing a weird issue where my laptop screen edges(All 4 Edges) starts to flicker while playing youtube videos via Brave browser. I've checked with other browsers like Firefox and Zen, there is no screen flickering while playing videos in these browsers. It happens only with brave browser and it is very annoying, my laptop fans will start blasting like I launched a game while playing youtube videos via brave browser.

I couldn't post this in the brave subreddit, No idea why.

Other Infos

1. OS - Fedora 44 KDE
2. Kernel - 7.2.8-200.fc44.x86_64
3. Brave Hardware Acceleration - ON
4. Nvidia Driver - 615.71.09

Anybody else facing the same issue?, Any Solutions to this?

I want to rice hyprland, but I want to do it from the comfort of fedora, I love its support and maintenance. How do I install hyprland on fedora and set it up?

For months the iGPU of my Ryzen 9700X cannot handle Firefox, Chromium, Brave. All crashing the AMD GPU driver while using apps like ComfyUI in Fedora 43 and 44 after switching recently.

It is probably an issue of WebGL / Mesa / iGPU AMD driver, if I'm not mistaken. It however lasts for months now and there seems to be no cure so far.

Are you using other GPU than iGPU, other Linux distro or how do you handle the dozens of daily amd driver crashes? For me it is unberable and I'm seriously thinking trying other distros. But it could be a wider issue than only Fedora KDE.

Edit: browser itself is not crashing, the amd driver is. Causing black screen, browser canvas mangled, needs browser reload, crash again in few minutes. Normal websites dont crash it, only heavy web apps like ComfyUI or embedded videos.

Google officially supports Linux for both Antigravity IDE (AI code editor) and Antigravity Hub (agent platform), but they only provide raw tarballs without repository integration or auto-updates.

I built an open-source packaging and distribution infrastructure to provide native DNF, APT, and Zypper repositories with daily upstream synchronization:

• Site & Repo Configs: https://x3m-industries.github.io/antigravity-packages/
• GitHub: https://github.com/x3m-industries/antigravity-packages

Key Highlights:

• Distros supported: Fedora, RHEL, Rocky, Alma, openSUSE (RPM), Ubuntu, Debian, Pop!_OS, Linux Mint (DEB), plus Arch Linux via RPM extraction.
• Architectures: Both x86_64 and aarch64 (ARM64).
• Desktop & OAuth Integration: Automatically installs icons and FreeDesktop .desktop entries with antigravity:// and antigravity-ide:// protocol handlers so browser logins work out of the box.
• Security: All RPM packages and APT Release metadata are cryptographically signed with GPG. Every release runs container smoke tests on Fedora & Ubuntu in CI before deployment.
• Universal Installer:

• Laptop: ASUS TUF Gaming A15 FA507NV
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS
• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU
• RAM: 16 GB
• OS: Fedora 44 KDE
• Session: KDE Plasma / Wayland

I'm using Fedora 44 KDE and I'm experiencing a serious display issue.

After updating to kernel 7.2.5-200, I started experiencing display problems. When I boot the laptop, the built-in display stays completely black.

If I connect an external monitor, I can log into KDE, but I can only use the external monitor. The laptop's built-in display remains completely black. The mouse cursor also stutters/freezes badly, and the entire system becomes extremely sluggish.

I initially thought the problem was caused by the kernel update, so I performed a clean installation of Fedora 44 KDE. However, after installing the system updates, the exact same problem occurred again.

I also noticed that after installing the NVIDIA driver, the Fedora boot animation starts freezing/stuttering. Normally, there are colored dots moving underneath the Fedora logo, but after installing the NVIDIA driver, the animation freezes or becomes extremely choppy.

Once the system finally boots, the computer also becomes very sluggish and freezes for the first few minutes.

Because of this, I suspect the issue could be related to:

• The NVIDIA driver
• An incompatibility between kernel 7.2.5-200 and the NVIDIA driver
• Wayland + KDE Plasma
• The laptop's hybrid graphics / Optimus configuration

I previously removed the newer updates, and the laptop started normally again without any problems.

I have now rolled back to kernel 6.19.10-300.fc44.x86_64 and disabled kernel updates from the terminal. So far, I haven't experienced any problems with this kernel.

I originally encountered this issue a few weeks ago and posted about it on this subreddit, but unfortunately I couldn't find a solution. I'm trying my luck here as well in case someone has experienced something similar.

Fedora 44 has now moved on to kernel 7.2.8-200.fc44. Has anyone using Fedora 44 with an RTX 4060 Laptop GPU experienced any problems with the newer kernel, particularly when using the NVIDIA driver?

I'm especially interested in knowing:

1. Is there a known compatibility issue between the NVIDIA driver and kernel 7.2.5-200?
2. Could this problem be related to Wayland or KDE Plasma?
3. Could the hybrid graphics / Optimus configuration of the RTX 4060 Laptop GPU be causing this issue?
4. Has anyone experienced similar problems with kernel 7.2.8-200.fc44?

If anyone has experienced a similar issue and found a solution, I would really appreciate hearing about your experience.

I'm on Fedora Linux 7.2.7-200.fc44.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Mon Sep 21 18:25:57 UTC 2026 x86_64 GNU/Linux (Workstation). Emacs is at version 30.2 and I would like to try 31.1. I found this site:

https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2026-0b6c4d9d44

where it says I can install Emacs 31.1 using:

sudo dnf upgrade --refresh --advisory=FEDORA-2026-0b6c4d9d44

Would this work on my fc44?

I've been on Fedora 44 (and Linux) for nearly a month now after switching from Windows 10, and I've run into consistent, frustrating issues:

• Monitor randomly won't turn on despite peripherals and PC lighting up.
• Computer will randomly have no WiFi input.
• Firefox crashes at least once a week
• The persistent crash notifications that I can't turn off despite deleting 'em!
• Everything randomly being magnified.
• tar.gz being difficult to download and extract successfully.
• Xbox controller bluetooth not working. The whole bluetooth system!

I'm not computer illiterate and can figure things out reasonably well, but these issues have made it very frustrating to stay with Fedora/Linux, and I intentionally chose Fedora for it's privacy recommendations. I hate Windows, but at least everything worked and I didn't have to power down my PC 2-3 times a day for things to work.

Before I throw in the towel, are any of these issues fixable? Is Fedora not compatible with my PC or something? Or is Fedora 44 incredibly unstable?

EDIT/UPDATE: Thank you all so much for the support! I did try GNOME, but unfortunately I disliked it, and was having similar issues. So I swapped back to KDE and took some advice in the comments about NVIDIA drivers, and it solved a lot of my problems! So thank you to the kind users who suggested troubleshooting NVIDIA!

A second quick note: there are a lot of passive-aggressive and flippant comments in this thread. Remember to be kind. It's everyone's first time at something, even if you're the current first-chair violinist at Carnegie Hall. You had a first time, too.

For some reason my fedora laptop can connect to every apple device on the network. I havent changed any settings, and I'm not going to try to play audio. I can change the volume, and there is no glitchy behaviour. Does anyone have an explanation or a fix?

EDIT:
I asked my CS teacher about this, she had no clue of the cause, but she did note that several of those devices are teacher's devices, on the private network whilst I'm on the guest network.

I just started using Fedora KDE Plasma Mobile 44 on Surface Go 2 and I'm glad that I have made the switch.

I'm facing this interesting audio issue. The device is connected to TV via HDMI using a USB hub. There is video but no audio when I streamed video from streaming website. But when I played a MP4 video using VLC, it is working perfectly fine. With this, it eliminated the possible issues with the connection, cable and the USB hub.

Other than Firefox, I have also tried with Chromium but to no avail. I have tried with the audio setting from the browsers and device but still no luck.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
