System 76 Lemur with Fedora 26 KDE Spin

by Damir Cavar

I installed successfully Fedora 26 KDE Spin with Plasma Desktop on my System 76 Lemur. The default Ubuntu had issues with many things, most annoying were issues with the wireless driver.

As for the procedure:

The only thing that I do not like is the default partitioning schema in the Fedora installation. It creates a partition for the system (mounted at “/”), and one for the user home (mounted at “/home”). When setting up the partition schema, I let Fedora set the default and then remove the “/home” partition and extend the root partition to maximum, that is the entire space. The partitioning tool shows you in the left corner at the bottom the entire space on your drive. I also chose to encrypt the drive, by the way.

Interesting questions:

Activate KDE Connect on Fedora and Android

If you want to activate KDE Connect on Fedora, you need to open Firewall Configuration. Change to Configuration: Permanent. Select your default configuration, e.g. public and in Services activate kde-connect. In the Options menu activate Reload Firewalld. On your Android device install KDE Connect and refresh, pair and connect to your Fedora system.

Summary

If I encounter issues with something, I will report here.

So far I did not encounter any issues with devices and drivers.
