So I Tried Out Fedora Linux 40...

In this video I try Fedora Linux "Kinoite" version 40, which is part of its Atomic Desktop set of operating systems.
This video is an experiment, I am trying out AI voices.

all hail the robot overlords

The robot AI voice speaks better English than the CZcamsr himself. So please continue using the AI voiceover.

[@AnurakAromdee]

​@@catchnkill I think the creator speaks English well enough (I stalked his entire blog lol), it's just his accent which is a bit off-putting

[@TheEpicKeyboardSmasher]

pros:
entertaining video
informative
convinced me to not use fedora linux
cons:
ai generated thumbnail
4:36 lack of this accent

[@eyekay49]

Sorry! I don't like AI thumbnails either, and I avoid AI images in general. But I thought it would bring further comedic value to the "AI episode".

He is completely wrong about Fedora, codecs, and Firefox - nothing is broken. I've been using Fedora / Plasma for over a year with no problems whatsoever. Just go through the usual "5 or 10 things to do after installing Fedora" (there are these kinds of lists for every distro). Just add RPM Fusion and the codecs are available. Regular Firefox from the Fedora repo works perfectly and plays CZcams videos perfectly- no need for the Flatpak. Fedora is the most problem free and bug free distro I've ever run.

Try Ublue's images, Aurora is most similar to Kinoite.

[@eyekay49]

Thanks! I know of Ublue already, I was interested in trying the official offering which most people go for.

[@walter_lesaulnier]

Both your problems with DNF are easily fixed with edits to the DNF config file- part of the routine after every Fedora install. You goofed. Just install codecs from RPM Fusion- regular Firefox plays videos perfectly. Missing codecs is YOUR mistake, NOT Fedora's. Regular Firefox is NOT broken. You don't need to install the Flatpak of it.

[@eyekay49]

As someone who has never really used Fedora before, the fact that I didn't instinctively hunt down and edit DNF's config file (which is never mentioned in the install guide) or set up an unofficial, third-party repository for packages which every other distro ships themselves is obviously my mistake. I will take down the video.
