The guide walks you through adding the elementary community COPR repository to Fedora 36 and then installing the “Pantheon Desktop” group together with the elementary icon theme and wallpapers. It shows how to replace GNOME’s default GDM with LightDM (or keep GDM) and select Pantheon as the session at the login screen. Optional clean‑up steps remove leftover GNOME packages and a tweak disables Gala’s VSync for smoother performance on older GPUs. After a reboot, you end up with a fully functional Pantheon desktop—complete with its dock, top panel, and theme—ready for further customization.

The text explains that missing Microsoft TrueType fonts on Fedora cause “Tofu” boxes in LibreOffice documents and offers three ways to install them. The quickest method is enabling the non‑free RPM Fusion repository and installing the msttcorefonts package, which automatically retrieves and extracts the full set of core fonts. If only a specific font (e.g., Calibri) is needed, you can download its Windows installer, extract the .ttf with cabextract, and place it in your personal ~/.local/share/fonts directory. For offline or older systems, you can copy a pre‑downloaded msttcorefonts tarball to /usr/local/share/fonts and run fc-cache manually, handling updates yourself.
