1.0 Introduction
Fedora Linux is a 'consumer' distro that is effectively owned and governed by Red Hat, which makes it a hard pass from me these days, though I was a regular user of it back in 2012-2015 or so. Niente installs and runs on it without issue, with the only potential 'curly bit' being its requirement for the RPM Fusion Free repository to be enabled.
For this article, I'm using Fedora 39 with its default Gnome-based desktop environment, but Niente doesn't particularly care what desktop environment you use.
As with all these installation articles, I assume a fresh, default installation of the underlying operating system. I always assume, however, that any installer-provided options to install third-party programs, drivers or audio codec support are taken: not that it makes any difference to the way Niente works, but I just like to be clear on what my working assumptions are 🙂
