No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

They're already included in Fedora, nice try, I'm not an idiot.
Now I just want to know what commands you thought you needed to run that you found randomly on the internet lmao, like what, you had to
chmod +xthe installer??I hate to say it, but... you sure about that? The Wikipedia article addresses this exact issue:
Yes, a version of the driver is included in the Linux kernel as part of Fedora, but it is likely slightly old ~~and you can download the latest version from AMD... you should probably go do this right now, because that is exactly how it works for Mint, too.~~
Exactly like how they're also already included with Windows, but you must go download from AMD to have the latest...
~~Next time you need a graphics update, please don't wipe your machine and install a whole different distro with crossed fingers that that distro will happen to use a kernel with a newer version of the driver 🤣 completely unnecessary. Just search "AMD linux driver" it is literally the first result, you had to have scrolled past it to find these random sketchy commands you were scared to run. Your GPU will work just as perfectly with Fedora as it does with Mint or Windows. I also use an AMD GPU on Fedora~~
EDIT: Alright, I'll admit that I was wrong about how updating it yourself is on specifically Fedora and that getting the driver direct from AMD website is going to be a huge pain if you're not on the specific Ubuntu version they are supprting. That said, I've never seen a driver issue on Fedora with the included AMD driver, especially for 6XXX series AMD GPUs or later (5700 XT is a special case, AMD completely burned the people that bought that card, including my friend, and he only runs Windows)
Dude, reading comprehension, work on that, I've got no issue on Mint, Mint isn't based on Fedora either.
Guess you don't know much either

Lol ironic. Where did you "comprehend" that I claimed it was?
So which GPU, and I'll give you a leg up, don't say "5700XT" because that one is notoriously broken for drivers, including on Windows...
