Fedora includes incomplete video codecs that can’t use GPU acceleration. This forces the CPU to do the decoding. Fedora claims it’s because of imaginary “patent issues” due to its IBM backing. You can install the correct ones from RPM Fusion, but it’s an extra step and it’s not made clear that this is even a problem. You might notice only after you wonder why you have such high CPU temperatures while doing basic things like browsing the web.
I'm using fedora 42 kde on my new laptop since I couldn't get mint working - fucking visit drivers.
Anywho, doom: the dark ages runs like wet ass and I'm wondering if it has something to do with video codecs or mesa )don't know what mesa is and there's a 5080 in there.
I reinstalled tempeh and all my videos work, but - any chance you could point me towards what to do with the video codecs just so I can confirm? If you can offer some guidance on how to install whatever mesa is I want to try that to see if it helps (even though afaik the game should be using the ncidia drivers anyway).
The laptop has a ryzen cpu btw.
Also cool if you can't help. Figured I'd ask. I'm new to fedora.
