  1. Nobara Linux Website: https://nobaraproject.org/ Wiki: https://wiki.nobaraproject.org/ Download: https://nobaraproject.org/download-nobara/ The Nobara Project, to put it simply, is a modified version of Fedora Linux with user-friendly fixes added to it. Fedora is a very good workstation OS, however, anything involving any kind of 3rd party or proprietary packages is usually absent from a fresh install. A typical point and click user can often struggle with how to get a lot of things working beyond the basic browser and office documents that come with the OS without having to take extra time to search documentation. Some of the important things that are missing from Fedora, especially with regards to gaming include WINE dependencies, obs-studio, 3rd party codec packages such as those for gstreamer, 3rd party drivers such as NVIDIA drivers, and even small package fixes here and there. This project aims to fix most of those issues and offer a better gaming, streaming, and content creation experience out of the box. More importantly, we want to be more point and click friendly, and avoid the basic user from having to open the terminal. It’s not that the terminal and/or terminal usage are a bad thing by any means, power users are more than welcome to continue with using the terminal, but for new users, point and click ease of use is usually expected. It should be clarified that this distribution is -NOT- to be considered a ‘Fedora Spin’. A Fedora Spin is an official Fedora released version of a desktop environment (such as gnome/kde). We are a completely independent project from Fedora, and there are no Fedora developers or parties directly involved. We use Fedora packages, code, and repositories. That is the extent of it.
  2. PrerequisitesInstall Wine v9.4 or newer from your distro's repos. If wine is not available from your distro's repos, you may follow the instructions on the winehq website. Install winetricks 20250102 or newer from your distro's repos. Links, if needed, are on the winetricks github Select an install location where you have space for the entire game, approximately 130GB Must be a linux-formatted SSD We do not recommend an HDD or NTFS format Installation StepsIf using an immutable distro (ie. Bazzite, Silverblue), we recommend the flatpak installation. Download our LUG Helper (Select the .tar.gz. Distro packages are listed here) Launch the LUG Helper and select Install Star Citizen Allow the Preflight Check to fix any issues it finds before proceeding! You may instruct the Helper to install the Wine prefix (this contains the game) to any linux-formatted partition. After the install completes, run the RSI Launcher, log in, and click Install to finish installing the game. Do not change the default install location C:\Program Files\Roberts Space Industries! Launch the game. See you in the 'verse! Full article and thanks to Starcitizen-lug here.DOWNLOADS lug-helper-4.2.tar.gz
  3. One the best and easiest distros I have tried. Out of the box just works and have support for several ways to install software and drivers as proprietary. Even got it up and running on my old Chromebook with sound and function keys working using this tutorial. This is my daily driver.
  4. Fedora Linux OS Type: Linux Based on: Independent Origin: USA Architecture: aarch64, arm, ppc64le, s390x, x86_64 Desktop: Awesome, Budgie, Cinnamon, Enlightenment, i3, GNOME, KDE Plasma, LXDE, LXQt, MATE, Openbox, Ratpoison, Xfce Category: Desktop, Immutable, Server, Live Medium Status: Active Fedora Linux (formerly Fedora, formerly Fedora Core) is a Linux distribution developed by the community-supported Fedora Project and owned by Red Hat. Fedora Linux contains software distributed under a free and open-source license and aims to be on the leading edge of such technologies. Fedora has a reputation for focusing on innovation, integrating new technologies early on and working closely with upstream Linux communities. The default desktop in Fedora Linux is the GNOME desktop environment and the default interface is the GNOME Shell. Other desktop environments, including KDE, Xfce, LXDE, MATE and Cinnamon, are available. The Fedora project also distributes custom variations of Fedora called Fedora spins. These are built with specific sets of software packages, offering alternative desktop environments or targeting specific interests such as gaming, security, design, scientific computing and robotics.
  5. UPDATE: I got everything up and running on a Fedora system as well using the above guide. Including sound and function keys. After installing the function keys, go into the Fedora settings > keyboard and select "Google | Chromebook" in the dropdown.
  6. Git is a powerful and widely used distributed version control system (VCS) essential for managing code projects. It allows you to track changes, collaborate effectively, and revert to previous versions if necessary. This guide will walk you through the straightforward process of installing Git on your Fedora Linux system. PrerequisitesA Fedora Linux system with an active internet connection. Basic understanding of using the terminal. Administrative privileges (sudo access) on your system. Method 1: Installing Git from Default RepositoryThis method is the easiest way to get Git up and running on your Fedora system. The official Fedora repositories contain stable versions of Git, and they ensure compatibility with the system. Open a Terminal Window::Press Ctrl + Alt + T or search for “Terminal” in your applications menu to launch a terminal window. Update Package Lists (Optional but Recommended): It’s a good practice to ensure your system has the latest package information: sudo dnf update Install Git: Use the dnf package manager, specifically designed for Fedora and related distributions, to install Git: sudo dnf install git git-all The git-all package includes additional Git utilities for a more comprehensive Git experience. Verify Installation: Check if Git is installed correctly by running the following command: git --version A successful installation will display the installed Git version. Method 2: Installing Git from Latest Source CodeFor those who need the latest features or fixes from the Git software, compiling from source might be the preferred route. This method is a bit more involved but offers the most up-to-date version of Git. Install Required Dependencies: To compile Git from source, several development tools and libraries are needed. Install them using: sudo dnf groupinstall "Development Tools" sudo dnf install zlib-devel perl-CPAN gettext Download the Latest Git Source Code: Navigate to the official Git website or repository to find the link to the latest source code. Alternatively, you can use wget or curl to fetch it directly. Here’s how to do it with wget: wget https://github.com/git/git/archive/refs/tags/v2.44.0.tar.gz Replace [2.44.0] with the desired version number. Extract the Tarball and Navigate to the Directory: tar -xvzf v2.44.0.tar.gz cd git-2.44.0 Compile and Install: Execute the following commands in order: ./configure --prefix=/usr make sudo make install Verify Installation: Check if Git is installed correctly by running the following command: git --version This command should display the version you just installed, confirming that the installation process was successful.
