Fedora Post-Install Setup

I have been trying different linux distros in the past years and found myself coming back to Fedora a few times until I finally settled with it for my daily driver. I wanted to automate things I did after the initial installation, so here it is:

A post-installation setup script for Fedora Linux, focusing on gaming, development, and multimedia support. Sets up drivers, codecs, gaming tools, development environments, and a few quality-of-life tweaks.

This repo only handles the system-level bootstrap. Personal dotfiles (shell, terminal, KDE config, etc.) live in a separate repo and are managed with GNU Stow.

What this does

• post_install.sh — installs RPM Fusion, multimedia codecs, GPU drivers, gaming stack (Steam / Wine / GameMode / MangoHUD), development tools (uv, rustup), Sunshine, fonts, Starship, sets Quad9 DNS, applies hardware-specific fixes (MT7922 wifi), and a few KDE cleanups.
• etc/dnf/dnf.conf — sane DNF defaults copied to /etc/dnf/.
• install.sh — thin wrapper that copies etc/ and runs post_install.sh.

The dnf and flatpak package lists live in post_install.sh under the Software Installation section.

Installation

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/fedora_post_install.git
   cd fedora_post_install

2. Run the installer with sudo:

   sudo ./install.sh

The installer will:

1. Copy etc/ configurations into /etc/
2. Run post_install.sh

Note

Please review the scripts before running them. In particular check post_install.sh for the package list, kernel cmdline args, and DNS settings.
