Привет. Я новичок в мире Linux, и я хотел установить Fedora Workstation на свой ноутбук Thinkpad. После первой установки я не мог обновить систему ни в центре приложений, ни в терминале: была ошибка по типу что ос не может достучаться до репозиториев Fedora. Также невозможно было скачать ничего из центра приложений, таже ошибка. Но с VPN вроде все заработало в штатном режиме, но почему? Я нахожу в России и вроде как Fedora не заблокирована здесь. Так как с впн все было очень медленно, я решил пе…
