The guide walks you through getting Steam up and running on a fresh Fedora system by first adding the RPM Fusion repository and then installing the official package. It explains why the free repo is necessary to pull in dependencies and warns against using other packaging methods that might clash, such as Flatpak or snap. After installation, it covers launching Steam, handling initial updates, and troubleshooting frequent issues like graphics driver mismatches and missing codecs by adding the non‑free repository if needed. Finally, readers are given an optional path to install Steam via Flatpak for sandboxed isolation, though this option comes with larger disk usage and slower startup times.

The guide walks Fedora users through installing and configuring Wine so they can run Windows programs without a complicated setup. It begins by updating the system, enabling development tools, and adding the Fedora modular repository to ensure compatible libraries are available. After installing Wine from the official repo, the article explains how to create an isolated prefix, install MSI packages with `msiexec`, and launch executables directly. Finally, it offers troubleshooting tips for common issues like permission errors or missing 32‑bit libraries and suggests using the winehq repo for newer builds if desired.

The article explains how to install the latest MariaDB 10.x on Debian 11 (bullseye) or Debian 10 (buster) by adding the official MariaDB repository instead of using the distribution’s built‑in packages, which are locked to older releases. It walks through verifying the OS version, importing the GPG key with curl and gpg, configuring a repo file for either bullseye or buster while letting readers swap in their preferred sub‑release or mirror, then updating apt and installing mariadb-server. After installation, the guide recommends running mysql_secure_installation to set a root password, remove anonymous users, block remote root access, and clean up test databases, followed by checking the service status and offering optional configuration tweaks such as changing the data directory or binding only to localhost. The author wraps up with a real‑world anecdote about a client who had dependency problems after upgrading Debian versions, illustrating how using the upstream repo resolves such issues and ensures access to security patches.

Below is a concise walkthrough for getting Beekeeper Studio on Ubuntu 22.04 or 20.04, explaining its appeal as a lightweight alternative to bloated tools like pgAdmin and MySQL Workbench. It starts by updating the system, then presents three ways to install: downloading the official .deb and letting apt fix missing dependencies, using a classic Snap, or pulling from a PPA, followed by launching the application. The article also covers how to set up new database connections, test them, and troubleshoot typical hiccups such as missing libssl libraries or permission issues caused by Snap confinement. Finally it comments on Electron‑based performance trade‑offs and encourages readers to try Beekeeper Studio for a modern UI that keeps all queries and exports in one convenient folder.

The guide explains how to get the lightweight SQLite database engine up and running on Ubuntu 22.04 or 20.04 by first updating the package list, then installing the command‑line client with `sudo apt install sqlite3`, and finally adding the development libraries if you plan to compile code that depends on SQLite’s headers. It highlights that missing the `libsqlite3-dev` package will cause “cannot find header file sqlite3.h” errors during C or Python builds, so it must be installed early. For users who need newer features not yet in Ubuntu’s repos, the article walks through downloading, configuring, compiling, and installing SQLite from source, noting that this is only necessary if the packaged version lags behind the latest releases. Finally, it lists common pitfalls such as using an old apt cache or forgetting dev libs, reminds readers to verify installation with `sqlite3 --version`, and concludes that the official packages are usually sufficient unless you need bleeding‑edge functionality.
