Fedora 44 - One-Click Optimization 🚀

Transform a fresh Fedora 44 Workstation install into a lightning-fast, self-maintaining, and beginner-friendly system with a single command.

No Linux knowledge required. Just run the script, reboot, and enjoy.

Created and tested by the community, for the community.

✨ What This Script Does

Category	Optimizations Included
Speed	Faster DNF downloads, hardware-aware memory & SSD optimization, kernel performance tweaks
Media	Full multimedia codecs via RPM Fusion + GPU-specific hardware video acceleration (Intel/AMD)
Battery	Automatic power profiles (switches between Performance, Balanced, Power Saver)
Backups	Automatic system snapshots with Btrfs Assistant & Snapper (Btrfs-only)
Updates	Daily automatic security updates (no reboots without your permission)
Privacy	Brave browser pre-installed with hardware acceleration ready
Compatibility	Auto-detects Intel/AMD CPU, GPU type, RAM amount, and VM status

⚡ One-Command Install

Copy the command below and paste it into your terminal:

git clone https://github.com/aduv0000/fedora-44-optimization.git && cd fedora-44-optimization && chmod +x fedora-setup.sh && ./fedora-setup.sh

After it finishes, reboot your computer. That is the only manual step.

📋 What to Expect After Reboot

• Your system will feel faster and more responsive.
• Videos and streams will play smoothly with less CPU usage.
• Your laptop battery will last longer and switch power modes automatically.
• System updates will install quietly in the background, daily.
• If an update ever causes a problem, you can roll back using Btrfs snapshots.

🧠 Smart Hardware Detection

The script automatically detects your hardware and adjusts accordingly:

Hardware	Script Behavior
Intel CPU	Installs Intel microcode + Intel media driver
AMD CPU	Installs AMD microcode + Mesa VA drivers
≤16GB RAM + no dGPU	Aggressive zram tuning (vm.swappiness=180) for better responsiveness
>16GB RAM or gaming GPU	Conservative swappiness to avoid stuttering
Virtual Machine	Skips firmware updates automatically
Btrfs filesystem	Sets up automatic snapshots
Non-Btrfs filesystem	Skips snapshot setup gracefully

⚙️ For Advanced Users

Want to see exactly what the script does or modify it for your needs? The entire script is contained in fedora-setup.sh. It is thoroughly commented so you can easily understand each section or disable specific tweaks.

Key features you can customize:

• Memory optimization (zram swappiness)
• Kernel boot parameters
• Snapshot retention policy
• Auto-update schedule

⚠️ Important Notes

• This script is designed for Fedora 44 Workstation. Other editions (Silverblue, KDE Spin) may not be fully compatible.
• A reboot is required for kernel parameters and GNOME extensions to take effect.
• Btrfs snapshots are only configured if your system already uses Btrfs (Fedora's default).
• No security features are disabled. The script prioritizes safety — mitigations=off is intentionally excluded.
