The guide walks Fedora 36 users through installing PlayOnLinux, a lightweight wrapper that simplifies running Windows games via isolated Wine environments. First it ensures the dnf‑plugins‑core package is present so COPR can be enabled, then it adds the cgrosby/playonlinux repository and installs the package, automatically pulling in Wine and required DLLs. If the COPR method fails, the article offers a fallback by downloading the latest RPM from GitHub and letting dnf resolve dependencies, even suggesting the --best flag for stubborn conflicts. Finally it confirms success with a quick launch command and provides troubleshooting hints such as verifying 64‑bit architecture when encountering Wine version errors.

The guide explains how to get Snap and its official Store client working on Fedora 36, a system that omits snapd because it prefers Flatpak. First you add the RPM Fusion repository, install snapd with dnf, enable its socket so it starts on demand, create the /snap symlink for classic confinement snaps, and then reboot or log out to refresh the session. After those prerequisites you install the Snap Store GUI using the --classic flag, and the article notes a common pitfall where users encounter a “snapd isn’t running” error if they forget to enable the socket before launching the store. Once launched from your application menu the store will download its initial data, after which you can browse and install any snap with a single click, letting you enjoy the convenience of graphical package management on Fedora.

The article is a practical guide for installing the newest Darktable on Fedora 36, noting that the default repository ships an old build missing recent camera support and noise‑reduction improvements. It explains how to enable the rpmfusion‑free repository first, then use DNF to upgrade the system and install darktable, warning that an older kernel or GLIBC can break Qt dependencies if you skip the refresh. Common pitfalls such as libgobject errors, missing XDG data directories, and buggy GPU drivers are listed with quick fixes like distro‑sync, setting XDG_DATA_DIRS, and rolling back Mesa, while the guide also offers a more advanced section for compiling from source with detailed development tool prerequisites. Overall, the post covers everything from repository setup to troubleshooting and optional bleeding‑edge builds, concluding that installing Darktable on Fedora 36 is straightforward once you follow these steps.

After adding the Plex repo and installing plexmediaserver, the tutorial shows how to enable and start the service immediately with systemctl and gives quick troubleshooting tips like checking SELinux or missing codecs that can stop the daemon from running properly. Finally, it explains how to access the web interface on localhost, highlights port considerations for firewalls, and encourages readers to experiment with libraries and remote access once the core setup is complete.
