This shit is cartoonishly BAD.
what's even the point of this garbage?
I installed retroarch from their "repo" and it doesn't even have the Sega Genesis core? That's just one of many wtf issues I've encountered since trying this garbage ass distro. Been on it for 2 days, on top of that wtf garbage, I've had to use ChatGPT to get almost every single program I wanted to install working. Fedora is just straight garbage, it doesn't fucking work man

Pro tip: Stick to Ubuntu or Mint. Fedora is a fucking clownshow distro

just the most recent example of how dogshit this distro is. All this shit works in ubuntu downstream since 2015 on any hardware. Fedora is BAD and it's being shilled by paid influencers
had to use AI to get almost every program I've installed to work.
Fedora does not work whether it's retroarch or any other fucking program

oh yeah and have fun with 1mbps download from theiir "repo" (which contains nothing but broken shit)

>Pro tip: Stick to Ubuntu or Mint. Fedora is a fucking clownshow distro
Also known as "So the commands I ran on a how too guide by DRUGASOFT did not work. it said apt-get not available? wtf?".
>>
>>109173612
uhh so the official Fedora software center has a retroarch flatpak that can't even run a sega genesis game and every install through them has less than 1mb per second download speed (but muh mirrors) doesn't fucking work
That is a valid complaint
I know how to build a program from github and I've had to do that with EVERY THING in fedora
what's the point of a repo if it doesn't work
This is just the worst experience I've ever had in linux
and I'm not a noob I literally installed Linux in the year 1999 on a P1 233 mhz with 32mb ram.
Fedora fucking sucks, avoid like the plague, doesn't work
>>

Blew the troll, expected better from you. 1/10 for a okay OP
>>
>>109173571
>and it doesn't even have the Sega Genesis core?
Retroarch doesn't come with cores preinstalled, retard you have to download them from within the applicaiton. What are you even trying to do here?
>>
Yeah like I don't understand Fedora but I like Bazzite. Bazzite just works. And you can't break Bazzite. Something to keep on your list of distros to try. I don't like Debian based distributions because after moderately light usage, they all become unstable within like a month. And it's been like that for ages because the Debian developers are all paid off by Microsoft to break shit on purpose. That's why you see Arch based distros and Gentoo. We have been trying to warn people for years. There's a reason Linus Torvalds doesn't use Debian.
>>
>>109173649
yeah I know. The flatpak in fedora doesn't have sega genesis or MAME cores in it. Straight up. Prove me wrong.
>>
>>109173571
Btw RetroArch has official packages as AppImage, Flatpak, Snap and Steam for Linux. You don't need to use repackaged software form ANY distro.
>>
>>109173649
I think hes used to the illegal distros that have it all setup with a bunch of copyrighted games and everything else, and hes trying to pass this off as an anti-Fedora argument, because if he can break Fedora, he can break Bazzite. Always best to ignore trolls, but that is their ultimate goal, to extend, embrace, extinguish. Little do they know we are aware of what they are doing, because people in foss talk.
>>
>>109173653
it doesn't have any cores you fucking retard because you have to set them up, you would face the same fucking thing on Ubuntu you shit skinned bafoon.
>>
>>109173571
Debian is gooder.
>>
>>109173658
cool. Now install fedora and open the disovery app and install Retroaarch and it will not have those MAME or sega gensis or zx psectrum or turbografx16 cores available.
That's just ONE example of how bad this distro is.
>>
>>109173664
listen you ignorant nigger, its the same on every distribution. hurrrrrrrr if you want one with the cores setup, go find that. they exist.
>>
>>109173672
already found it just complaining about a dogshit distro. Anyone on fedora install the flatpak in discovery center can confirm that those cores are not available. I found a workaround but I don't like finding workarounds.
>>
hey faggot, its the same if you use winget on Windows, retroarch isn't supposed to come with any cores. why are you such a retard?
>>
>>109173676
that has nothing to do with Fedora though. The retroarch devs provide the package contents link and we turn them into rpms and put them on the server. it is not my job to go scour the internet and find some 3rd party program and test it and put it up as if it were the ones the developers created for us. what the fuck is wrong with you?
>>
>>109173685
well why does retroarch work in ubuntu with all the cores available since literally 2015? I'm not a new guy who decided 2 days ago to install retroarch to emulate games.
This is just ONE example of the headaches I've encountered with fedora
(the less than 1mb per second download speed from their repos is a huger one)
>>
>>109173689
RetroArch is not in the official Ubuntu repositories, so I have no fucking idea what you are even talking about. I googled it, you have to enable a 3rd party PPA. You are a massive retard.
>>
>>109173610
>oh yeah and have fun with 1mbps download from theiir "repo" (which contains nothing but broken shit)
Works fine in the USA, you must be an aussie or some retarded turdworlder using a VPN or universities not hosting Repo's. Hell redhat has Fedora repo's all over so you must live in buttfuck nowhere

>>
>>109173715
I know colcotta doesn't have any local servers and like a lot of places in India for some reason or another, probably due to lack of infrastructure, does not have any local repositories. He would face the same thing even on Windows if he used winget. No matter the distribution, it would be slow as shit.
>>
>>109173726
those are 3rd party repos you added post install you fucking moron
>>
>hey guys look at me, I am OP and I love sucking dick and guzzling cum because I am a retarded faggot who added 3rd party repos and compared them to legitimate first party repos and then go onto 4chan slash gee slash to shit post and be proven wrong oh what a massive faggot I am!
you could just enable 3rd party repos on fedora ya know, we don't stop you from doing that
>>
>>109173738
Naw, it's just the ubuntu repo. Retroarch isn't some new software, it's been in there for a decade at least. And yeah, it has Sega Genesis and MAME
are you one of the paid Fedora influencers/shills saying it's the new Ubuntu even though it largely doesn't work?
>>
>>109173751
the legitimate ones on their repos are the same as the ones we provide without the cores enabled, so I don't know what you are on, but you desperately need to sober up.

So yeah you followed some "how to install fedora" by some indian, didn't select shit for what you want, then can't figure it out. Even windows retards can figure this shit out holy lmao.

IT'S
A
THIRD
PARTY
REPO

You enabled it at some point or selected the "I'm into gaming" during install which will include third party repos.
>>
>>109173762
I am a fedora package maintainer, and like oh so the installer does it, okay, cuz I was like I was checking their official PPAs and did not see the ones with cores. I know I happened to just push an update for a few things and retroarch was part of it. I was like "work done lets read entertaining shit on 4chinz/g" to find this retard bitchfitting about retroarch because he lives in India or pakistan.
>>
I got retroarch working before I ever made the thread. What I'm talking about is a distro that doesn't fucking work, requires command line interference with every single fucking program you want to install. Majority of programs work out the gate on Mint/Ubuntu/Debian with zero interference.
So what's the benefit of Fedora? A sexier screenfetch? It's just a bad distro of linux where nothing works. Full stop. You will spend lots of time in the terminal. Ubuntu, Mint... they work. They work ootb and literally every program in the world has a deb you can install. Fedora doesn't have this.
So what's the benefit?
having a screenfetch that doesn't show a popular distro like Mint? Because fuck that
Fuck fedora, never again, keep shilling this garbage all you want, the truth is it's light years behind
>>

>I am a fedora package maintainer, and like oh so the installer does it, okay, cuz I was like I was checking their official PPAs and did not see the ones with cores.

uh maintain this dick faggot because if you install the one from 'discovery' it doesn't have the cores. suck my dick 100 times pussy because I'm whiter than you'll ever be, non-paid loser motherfucker

it's light years guys... ya know enabling a 3rd party repo is light years out of our reach of development XD rofl ok bro calm down.

If you want to use emulators use app images or compile your own. Your distro is irrelevant, retard.
Retroarch online updater doesn't work because it has copyrighted grey areas and it's understandable why someone wouldn't like to distribute this as part of their packages.
I know I'm wasting my time typing this.
>>
>>109173807
yes because that is closed source copyrighted content. if you wanna be a pirate, you can do that. there is nothing stopping you from enabling a 3rd party repo on fedora.

I use Fedora all day everyday,
I don’t even have a GUI on it,
Command line only.
>>
>>109173838
Anon why would a Distro primarily aimed at SMB markets or Enterprise(usually for infrastructure ), care about if it can install muh end user gaymin emulator without enabling third party repos? I am sure someone running CUPS or a front end web server really needs it to also run bing bing wahoo properly

Keep in mind that these are also the "Good with computer" people who laugh when they hear the words windows server because it ships with Edge or a GUI.
>>
>>109173894
it doesn't work. It's just like Linux that doesn't work. Debian works, Ubuntu works, Mint works... Fedora doesn't what's the benefit? You tell me.
>>
>>109173838
>I got it working but it's not working
holy shit you are comical, are you implying we should enable 3rd party repos that are outside of our control?
>>
>>109173906
the benefit is you get a fully working distribution of Linux that is outside of Microsoft's grip or control. We have to stay legal asshole or we don't get to exist. Even then we hold ourselves to a higher standard. Not our fault Ubuntu does shady shit with their installer. Sounds like a good way to get infected with a virus.

>>109173944
keep misunderstanding things
you're a troll but I'll spell it out:
things in the software center should work without you having to uninstall them and manuially install them from other places.
Fedora is garbage
I stand by this
I'm not a "noob" I've been using linux for nearly 20 years
I had no idea things were this bad outside of the Ubuntu umbrella
I made it pretty clear in the OP that the retroarch thing was just one of NUMEROUS issues I've run into since day 1 of trying this "distribution" (i put it in quotes because it doesn''t work and is trash)
If I wanted that I woudl have picked arch
>>
>>109173977
we're not going to fix it nigger, if Ubuntu lets you break copyright laws like a nigger distribution for niggers, go use that. get the fuck out and don't come back. go be a nigger somewhere else. oo aa oo aa watermelon! BEEP* muffigin dik ooga booga eekie eekie tookie

I have never used fedora, and I don't even know what codecs are. I don't even know what problem they are running into. I can't even imagine what they are talking about. Copyright law? For what? What distro breaks copyright laws?

Oh, also, on most distros you download the cores seperately, some you even need to own the folder. Packaging retroarch is fucky.

It has a native package, from Fedora not rpm-fusion. Just dnf install it. It should have been the first thing you tried.
Open it and go to settings, user interface, visibility, menu items, toggle on show core downloads
Now open /home/myusername/.config/retroarch/retroarch.cfg in a text editor
then edit the line libretro_directory = "/usr/lib64/libretro/"
to libretro_directory = "~/.config/retroarch/cores"
