Good choice! A tip: many media apps are better being installed as a Flatpak and not from the Fedora rpms. Many Fedora packages, such as VLC, are missing specific codecs and the Flatpak versions can generally play everything.

a little correction: its not VLC that misses the codec, but the distribution. most distros dont risk distributing hardware acceleration drivers for h264 and a few others because of patents

Be aware though, that flatpaks can fill up your drive very quickly. Using something like Warehouse and Flatsweep every now and then to clean things up can free up a shocking amount of space.

Welcome!

If you like Fedora and are looking for something gaming focused and stupidly stable, check out Bazzite. It's based on Atomic Fedora
