Hi, I’m always looking for ways to make my Fedora setup as smooth and efficient as possible for daily tasks, whether I’m coding, browsing, or just generally tinkering around. It feels like there are numerous cool optimizations and configurations available that can make a significant difference. So, I’m genuinely curious: What are your absolute top tips or ‘must-do’ optimizations for making Fedora shine as a daily driver? Are there any specific settings, utilities, or workflow habits you’ve adopted that significantly boost performance or make your life easier? I’d love to hear about the little tweaks or significant changes that have made Fedora your go-to system!
Here are some helpful links I’ve found, which I hope will also be beneficial to you.

I update my Fedora systems once a week.
To do that manually would be tendious.
I wrote a tool update-linux that does all the heavy lifting for me which supports
- named sets of systems
- dnf update and waiting for akmods to finish before rebooting
- dnf system-upgrade
- logging of all its activities
It’s available from PyPI Client Challenge and my copr Packages for barryascott/tools as python-update-linux
As you have varied use cases, you might want to take a look at system tuning daemon ‘TuneD’ where you can choose profiles such as balanced, latency, power-save, or throughput.
Other than that, I use a system backup tool like Timeshift GUI to back up system before major updates.
That also helps test updates and track down issues while I can go back to a stable system. I know it is not optimization technique, but I can reiterate what updates caused issues.
I have removed the second link from your post as it was not Fedora related.
Please be wary of sharing so many third party links without context since it generally denotes spam/advertising. It’s better to say, for example:
“I use this for overclocking … LINK”
as it makes it clear to the reader what the context of the link is.
