# Fedora 39 User Setup

Now that you have setup your new system, time to configure quality-of-life user
settings!

_Note: This document details the user level setup only.  This means settings
that you may make without superuser permission and are remembered in the home
directory.  For system level setup, see
[Fedora 39 System Setup](fedora-system-setup.md).  This is originally written
for Fedora 39 and updated to Fedora 40._

## Default apps

- Shell: Fish (`chsh -s /usr/bin/fish`)
- Video: MPV

## Power

Turn off `Automatic Suspend` when `Plugged In`.

## Displays

Turn on Night Light and slide the slider to almost the very left.
`gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features
"['scale-monitor-framebuffer', 'variable-refresh-rate']"`  Then turn fractional
scaling to 125%.

## Keyboard

In `Input Sources`, add `Chinese (Intelligent Pinyin)` and
`Hanyu Pinyin Letters (with AltGr dead keys)`.

## Touchpad

## Migrating Thunderbird and Firefox

Look in `installs.ini` and `profiles.ini` and keep the last one.
Or use the profile managers.

## Migrating podman rootless containers

Reset SELinux labels:
`restorecon -RFv $HOME/.local/share/containers`

## App settings

- Terminal: Monospace 15
- Text Editor
    - Monospace 15
    - Using the top right settings icon:
        - Show Line Number
        - Show Right Margin
        - Spaces Per Tab: 4
- GSConnect: Enable in Extensions app, pair with phone, and adjust settings
  accordingly.
- Xournal++: turn on dark mode
- OBS: 2560x1440,
  [mkv](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_video_container_formats),
  VAAPI AV1 (CQ 20), opus, output to `~/Videos/OBS/`
    - Install [per application audio capture](https://github.com/dimtpap/obs-pipewire-audio-capture/releases/tag/1.1.4).
      To install the plugin: open OBS folder from its menu, decompress the zip and
      remove the outer folder and put in the `plugins` folder, creating it if it
      doesn't exist.  The final result should be something like
      `.config/obs-studio/plugins/linux-pipewire-audio/{bin,data}/...`
    - Enable websocket server and install
      [obs CLI for obs-websocket v5](https://github.com/grigio/obs-cmd) to
      emulate global shortcuts on Wayland
    - Enable replay buffer of 60 seconds and 1000 MB

## Tricks

Over amplification is nowhere to be found on recent GNOME Tweaks:
`gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.sound allow-volume-above-100-percent 'true'`
