What are the essential post-installation steps for Fedora?

Hey everyone! I've just made the switch to Fedora after trying out various distros like Linux Mint, Ubuntu, and even a short but chaotic stint with Arch Linux. I chose Fedora for its stability and support for the latest software, especially for Hyprland, which isn't too friendly with Debian/Ubuntu. I went with the regular version instead of Atomic, as I want to avoid the complexities of `rpm-ostree`.

So far, I've done a couple of things: 1. Installed the Chromium browser. 2. Ran `sudo dnf upgrade --refresh`. 3. Added the Central Repository of Flatpak apps from applications-dl.flathub.org.

Is there anything crucial I might have missed, or any other post-installation steps that are recommended? I'll primarily be using my laptop for browsing, gaming (mostly Windows games via Flatpak), and video editing—I'm curious if Kdenlive is good enough or if I can get DaVinci Resolve running on Fedora. Cheers!

Just a heads up, when you mention doing `sudo dnf upgrade --refresh`, it's pretty much the same as `apt update && apt upgrade` if you're coming from an APT background. So you’re on the right track with keeping your system updated!

Check out the Fedora Noble Setup on GitHub; it's got a solid list of post-installation tips for Fedora. Also, there's another guide for Fedora 43 post-installation on GitHub that you might find useful. Make sure to look through those, they can really help streamline your setup!

Welcome to Fedora! I totally get why you want to avoid the Atomic version. On the software front, Kdenlive is great for video editing, but you might have some challenges installing DaVinci Resolve due to dependencies. It’s worth checking the Fedora community forums for any workarounds that might help!
