Fedora 34 Installation
Device: Acer Aspire V Nitro
1. Touchpad (Device specific)
The touchpad’s physical button doesn’t work well.
Most of the time, it requires 3 clicks to register a single click.
The secondary button simply doesn’t register.
Enable Tap to Click at setting to workaround this issue.
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad tap-to-click 'true'
# Do this with sudo as well, to enable tap-to-click for GDM
sudo gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad tap-to-click 'true'
(Seriously, why it isn’t enabled by default?)
2. Sound (Device specific)
Sound output doesn’t work by default.
This is the common issue of this paticular device.
echo "options snd-hda-intel dmic_detect=0" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
echo "blacklist snd_soc_skl" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
Reboot.
3. RPM Fusion
Enable RPM Fusion to get access to multimedia codecs, NVDIA drivers, etc.
sudo dnf install https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
