Aaaaand once again I grew tired of Ubuntu and wanted a new Fedora install… Seriously, if this continues like this I will start using Arch…
Here is my install log with caveats and tweaks.

Based on this post (Fedora 21) I will now install Fedora 23

First things first: Encrypt the entire disk. No reason not to (unless you use a celeron WHICH YOU SHOULD NOT!)

dnf replaces yum but works just the same so after installing and setting up an user issue “dnf update” and let it do its magic. Reboot and start tweaking.

Set up RPMfusion to get more goodies!

install basic needful things:
– dnf install kernel-devel kernel-headers gcc (in order to build stuff, etc..)
– dnf groupinstall “Development tools”
– ublock origin for firefox
– commentblocker (seriously.. the comments on youtube and social media…)

install gnome-tweak-tool and fonts
– dnf install gnome-tweak-tool freetype-freeworld
start tweak tool and set up:
– font hinting “slight” (removes the “comic sans” effect)
– set the general scaling factor 0.9 (I am not that old, yet)

– a work around the bnug that triggers rfkill block of the WLAN after resume from suspend:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1257368

$ cat /etc/systemd/system/rfkill.service
[Unit]
Description=Unlock my wifi
After=suspend.target

# systemctl enable rfkill

Now some media goodness:
– dnf install gstreamer-plugins-ugly gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-plugins-bad-free-extras gstreamer-plugins-bad-nonfree gstreamer-ffmpeg

and if not already installed:
– dnf install gstreamer1-libav gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free-extras gstreamer1-plugins-bad-freeworld gstreamer1-plugins-base-tools
– dnf install gstreamer1-plugins-good-extras gstreamer1-plugins-ugly gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free gstreamer1-plugins-good gstreamer1-plugins-base gstreamer1

– dnf install x264 vlc

Secure communications and cloud sync:
– quassel-client (my core is in the cloud)
– pidgin-otr (will also pull pidgin base)
– purple-telegram (to allow pidgin to use telegram)
– owncloud-client
– redshift (like f.lux, provides a nice status icon)

seems virtualbox doesn’t play well with UEFI secure boot (fails to install kernel modules)
need to disable it for now :(
