After installing Fedora Silverblue 33, I noticed that the videos are not playing in browsers. Especially, the videos in social networks like Facebook and Twitter are not playing. Because some multimedia codecs like H.264 are not installed by default in Silverblue. In this quick tutorial, let me show you how to enable H264 on Chromium and Firefox in Fedora Silverblue 33.Advanced Video Coding, or shortly AVC, is a digital video compression standard. It is also known as H.264 or MPEG-4 AVC. Compared to MPEG-2 (the DVD standard), H264 only uses half the space to deliver the same quality video. Hence H264 is widely used by 91% of video streaming services such as Youtube, Netflix, Vimeo, and iTunes store etc.In order to play many media formats, we need to install the necessary multimedia codecs like H264 on Fedora Silverblue.Add RPM Fusion repository on Fedora SilverblueEnable H264 On Chromium And Firefox In Fedora SilverblueInstall VLC, Gnome Videos, CelluloidAdd RPM Fusion repository on Fedora SilverblueMany video codecs are non-free, so they are not included in Fedora default repositories and Flathub. So adding RPM Fusion repository is necessary. RPM Fusion repository provides the software which are not included in Fedora and Red Hat.To add RPM Fusion free and nonfree repositories on Fedora Silverblue, run:$ rpm-ostree install -E %fedora).noarch.rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpmSample output: Downloading Downloading Checking out tree 43462d3… done Enabled rpm-md repositories: fedora-cisco-openh264 fedora updates updates-archive rpm-md repo 'fedora-cisco-openh264' (cached); generated: 2020-08-25T19:10:34Z rpm-md repo 'fedora' (cached); generated: 2020-10-19T23:27:19Z rpm-md repo 'updates' (cached); generated: 2021-04-04T00:56:39Z rpm-md repo 'updates-archive' (cached); generated: 2021-04-05T01:34:14Z Importing rpm-md… done Resolving dependencies… done Checking out packages… done Running pre scripts… done Running post scripts… done Running posttrans scripts… done Writing rpmdb… done Writing OSTree commit… done Staging deployment… done Freed: 296.0 MB (pkgcache branches: 0) Added: rpmfusion-free-release-33-1.noarch rpmfusion-nonfree-release-33-1.noarch Run "systemctl reboot" to start a rebootAfter adding the RPM Fusion repository, you must reboot your system to enable it.$ systemctl rebootEnable H264 On Chromium And Firefox In Fedora SilverblueFirst, let us enable H264 support for Chromium browser. Install Chromium version from the official repositories:$ rpm-ostree install chromiumNext, install all media codecs for the latest Chromium browser by installing the chromium-libs-media-freeworld package:$ rpm-ostree install chromium-libs-media-freeworldSimilarly, to enable H264 support for Mozilla Firefox, the command would be:$ rpm-ostree install mozilla-openh264Now reboot your system to apply the changes.$ systemctl rebootNow verify if H.264 support is enabled by visiting the YouTube URL -> is how I added

GitHub Desktop is a widely used graphical interface that simplifies Git repository management, making it easier for developers to collaborate and manage their code. With features like visual diffs, branch management, and seamless GitHub integration, it’s a tool that enhances productivity, particularly for those who prefer a GUI over command-line Git operations. The Linux fork of GitHub Desktop, maintained by Shiftkey, brings these benefits to Fedora users, ensuring a consistent experience across platforms.On Fedora 40 or 39, you can install GitHub Desktop either via the terminal using the third-party repository hosted by Shiftkey or through Flatpak with Flathub, offering a flexible installation method depending on your preferences. This guide will walk you through both installation options, ensuring that you can easily set up and use GitHub Desktop on your Fedora system.Method 1: Install GitHub Desktop via RPMUpdate Fedora Before GitHub Desktop InstallationBefore installing GitHub Desktop, ensuring your Fedora system is up-to-date is essential to avoid potential conflicts. Open your terminal and enter the following command to check for any outstanding updates:sudo dnf upgrade --refreshImport GitHub Desktop RPMGitHub Desktop doesn’t offer official support for Linux distributions; a community-driven project called Shiftkey/Desktop supports various Linux distributions, including Fedora. Currently, a Shiftkey RPM mirror is titled “GitHub Desktop Linux Fork,” making importing, installing, and keeping GitHub Desktop up-to-date accessible for Fedora users.There are currently two RPM mirrors, and we recommend using the first one provided by Shiftkey. However, you can use the second one as a backup if you encounter any issues.Here are the steps to install GitHub Desktop on Fedora Linux using the shiftkey third-party RPM:Option 1: Import @shiftkey package feed:First, import the GPG key using the following command:sudo rpm --import importing the GPG key, use the following command to import the ShiftKey RPM repo:sudo sh -c 'echo -e "[shiftkey-packages]\nname=GitHub Desktop\nbaseurl= > /etc/yum.repos.d/shiftkey-packages.repo'Note: Try option two below if you have issues with the above repository.Option 2: @mwt package feed:First, import the GPG key using the following command:sudo rpm --import importing the GPG key, use the following command to import the mtw-packages RPM repo:sudo sh -c 'echo -e "[mwt-packages]\nname=GitHub Desktop\nbaseurl= > /etc/yum.repos.d/mwt-packages.repo'Install GitHub

And the upcoming dnf5 is yet to land in Fedora (currently planned for 41). Hence, you can make the following changes at the beginning, to make it a little faster.Open a terminal window and open the dnf configuration file via the default text editor.sudo gnome-text-editor /etc/dnf/dnf.confAdd the following line at the end of the file and save/close. This allows dnf to download that many packages in parallel. You can use any value from 3 to 20.max_parallel_downloads=10Switch to a faster dnf mirrorIn addition to the above change, in the same dnf configuration file, add the following line at the end:fastestmirror=TrueSave and close the text editor. This is sufficient to make the dnf app performance faster.dnf configurationsUpdate your systemOnce you make the above changes, it’s a good idea to refresh your system. This is to ensure that you have all the latest packages and modules before you start using them or making further changes.To do that, you can open the Software app and hit check for updates.Or, I would recommend you open a terminal and run these simple commands.sudo dnf upgradeUpgrading Fedora 40Enable RPM FusionI recommend enabling the RPM Fusion repo since it provides additional packages (including non-free ones). It would help with the future installation of several applications (such as Java, JRE, FFmpeg, etc.). The RPM Fusion is a community-contributed repo, a collection of non-free and additional packages Fedora Linux cannot ship in its official ISO file due to license and other terms.To enable RPM Fusion in Fedora 40, open a terminal and run the following commands in sequence.sudo dnf install -E %fedora).noarch.rpmsudo dnf install -E %fedora).noarch.rpmAfter completing the above commands, run the following to
