Geany, a lightweight IDE, can be installed on Fedora with just a few terminal commands after updating the package database to avoid missing‑dependency errors. Running `sudo dnf install geany` pulls the version from the official repos, and you can verify the installation by checking the output of `geany --version`; if it fails, reinstall or check your PATH. For newer releases or extra features, enabling RPM Fusion provides a more recent build via its free repository, after which Geany can be installed again with dnf. Once installed, you may need to create a desktop shortcut on minimal setups and test syntax highlighting by opening a sample script; remember that kernel updates breaking libraries like libX11 are common culprits when Geany fails to launch.

The guide begins by ensuring sudo is installed on Fedora, noting that some minimal server images might not include it out of the box. Next, it walks through creating a new user with a home directory and bash shell, setting a strong password, and adding that account to the wheel group so it can run privileged commands. Once the new user logs in you can confirm sudo works by executing `whoami` or checking group membership, and if desired fine‑tune the defaults in `/etc/sudoers.d/90-wheel` with visudo for extra control. The article wraps up by reminding you to keep root locked down and use this separate admin account for everyday work, pointing out that a few extra keystrokes yield worthwhile added security.

The guide explains how to get the lightweight e‑book reader Foliate onto a Fedora system by first updating the OS, enabling the RPM Fusion repositories, and then installing the package with DNF. It walks through launching the application from Activities or Alt + F2 and shows a quick way to open files directly from the terminal. After installation, you can fine‑tune the experience by setting Foliate as your default PDF viewer, turning on dark mode via Gnome’s Appearance panel, and adding a print button with the foliate‑plugins package. A troubleshooting table lists common issues such as crashes or garbled PDFs, offers simple fixes, and points readers toward Fedora forums for additional support.

Fedora users looking to escape Microsoft Office’s subscription model can find a lightweight alternative with OnlyOffice, which feels familiar to Windows and macOS users while offering cloud sync for services such as OneDrive and Google Drive. The installation process is straightforward: first add the official OnlyOffice repository via dnf config-manager, then run sudo dnf install onlyoffice-desktopeditors to pull in all necessary dependencies automatically. Once installed, launch OnlyOffice from the application menu or by typing “onlyoffice” in a terminal; if it starts cleanly you can optionally connect cloud accounts through Settings and Cloud, adding your OneDrive, SharePoint, Google Drive or other provider with simple prompts. Keep the suite current with sudo dnf upgrade onlyoffice-desktopeditors, and as a practical tip users who migrated from Windows often find OnlyOffice handles file types without crashes that occasionally plagued Office after updates; overall, adding OnlyOffice is just one repo and one package, delivering a tidy office experience free of bloatware.

The guide walks Fedora users through installing the open‑source Chromium browser without vendor bloat. It begins by verifying the Fedora release, adding both free and non‑free RPM Fusion repositories, optionally clearing the DNF cache, then simply running dnf install chromium to bring the binary into /usr/bin/chromium. After launching the app it explains how to hold the package to avoid disruptive updates or unhold it when newer features are desired. The final note emphasizes that the process is straightforward, requires no PPAs or source‑code compilation, and keeps Fedora’s security stack intact.

This guide walks you through adding Microsoft’s repository on Ubuntu 22.04 or 20.04, installing the necessary prerequisites, and downloading PowerShell so it lands in /usr/bin instead of relying on Snap or Flatpak. After updating your package list twice and pulling the GPG key, you can verify that pwsh is installed by checking its version with a simple command. The instructions also warn about common pitfalls such as missing keys, network hiccups during wget, or conflicting PowerShell packages from other sources, offering quick fixes for each scenario. Finally, it shows how to run native apt commands inside PowerShell and even includes a concise script that updates the system, installs developer tools, and reports the PowerShell version in one go.
