I recently had a reshuffling of computing hardware, which means for the first time in abot a year, I have a functioning personal laptop again. 
Keeping notes on setting up my personal computing environment in hopes of moving these steps into dotfiles and scripts that I run to get started.
First thing upon logging in is:
sudo dnf update
During the initial configuration modal, it asks to enable third party repos, which I generally do in case the hardware I’m using has weird software it needs to operate some part of the machine.
And then:
reboot
Fedora ships with a lot of decent software these days, so from the start I have a functional laptop, I can browser, go wild! 
So I install 1password. Getting that setup with Firefox saves me a huge amount of time getting back into my various systems.
Or install 1Password manually:
- Add the key for the 1Password yum repository:
sudo rpm --import https://downloads.1password.com/linux/keys/1password.asc
- Add the 1Password yum repository:
sudo sh -c 'echo -e "[1password]\nname=1Password Stable Channel\nbaseurl=https://downloads.1password.com/linux/rpm/stable/\$basearch\nenabled=1\ngpgcheck=1\nrepo_gpgcheck=1\ngpgkey=\"https://downloads.1password.com/linux/keys/1password.asc\"" > /etc/yum.repos.d/1password.repo'
- Install 1Password:
sudo dnf install 1passwordThe packages and repository are signed with the GPG key 3FEF9748469ADBE15DA7CA80AC2D62742012EA22.
And then the Firefox extension:
Since I have 1password on my phone, I scan a QR code and I’m logged in. 
I need to sync over some files, but before that I want to set up my home directory.
It has been a journey, and here is where I am, today, with my ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs:
XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME"
XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/dl"
XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR="$HOME"
XDG_PUBLICSHARE_DIR="$HOME"
XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR="$HOME/docs"
XDG_MUSIC_DIR="$HOME/music"
XDG_PICTURES_DIR="$HOME"
XDG_VIDEOS_DIR="$HOME"
maiki@deck:~$ tree -L 1
.
├── dl
├── docs
├── media
└── music
media will have several syncthing shares for devices and archives; I don’t use a photo or video directory, tho I may if an app starts saving files in my home directory. 
Previously I had installed syncthing via flatpak, and that works fine; however a maintainer produces a package for Fedora, and it works just as well.
I opted for user session:
syncthing
Usage
By default, the syncthing service isn’t enabled after installation. Depending on the use-case, syncthing can be run as a system-wide service for a specific user, or as a real user-session service.
Once enabled, the syncthing service exposes a web interface (the port can be changed in the configuration later) at address localhost:8384.
For manual (or offline) configuration, the settings file of syncthing (XML format) lives at
$HOME/.config/syncthing/config.xml.An empty, default “Sync” folder is created at the first startup in the user’s home directory.
User Session service
To enable the syncthing service as a user-session service for the current user, run:
systemctl --user enable --now syncthing.serviceThe service will be started now and each time you log in.
The syncthing user session service will not automatically be restarted after package updates. Instead, the user has to either restart syncthing from the web interface, log out and back in, or run the following commands manually:
systemctl --user daemon-reload systemctl --user restart syncthing.service
maiki@deck:~$ sudo dnf install syncthing

maiki@deck:~$ systemctl --user enable --now syncthing.service
Created symlink '/home/maiki/.config/systemd/user/default.target.wants/syncthing.service' → '/usr/lib/systemd/user/syncthing.service'.
maiki@deck:~$ systemctl --user daemon-reload
maiki@deck:~$ systemctl --user restart syncthing.service
Now I can start syncing over all the media shares!
For large file transfers I also use bittorrent, which means deluge.

Watching any video file on my laptop is done with vlc.
There are instructions there for adding RPMFusion, but as I already enabled third-party repos I can just get started:
sudo dnf install vlc
maiki@deck:~$ sudo dnf install vlc

I actually ended up installing RPMFusion repos, since codec support is a spotty domain for distros.
Command Line Setup using rpm
To enable access to both the free and the nonfree repository use the following command:
Fedora with dnf: 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 On Fedora, we default to use the openh264 library, so you need the repository to be explicitly enabled. On Fedora 41 and later: sudo dnf config-manager setopt fedora-cisco-openh264.enabled=1
I grabbed all the dconf settings for Gnome:
dconf dump /org/gnome/ > dconf.dump
Then I removed most of those until I got to the important ones that help me set up my laptops:

The corresponding dconf command imported my values:
dconf load /org/gnome/ < ~/docs/dconf/import-dconf.txt
I’m really happy it configured the Japanese input (‘anthy’) this way!
Now, each time I stop using a computer I will output the dconf settings and compare to my base, to see if I change or add more over time.
VLC was not working as expected, so I poked around and found what appears to be the solution: Installing plugins for playing movies and music :: Fedora Docs

To create inventory topics for the hardware I maintain for my family, I began using fastfetch to gather info I want to track.
sudo dnf install fastfetch
First I checked the output from the all.jsonc preset…

I’m interested in keeping my software updated automatically: Automatic Updates :: Fedora Docs
sudo dnf install dnf-automatic
That doc may need an update; it says to enable the timer with…
systemctl enable --now dnf-automatic.timer
…but that was not working for me. I did not notice when I checked the status, but reviewing the dnf-automatic documentation I noticed a different command (apparently the alias was not working with systemctl:
systemctl enable --now dnf5-automatic.timer
maiki@deck:~$ systemctl enable --now dnf-automatic.timer
bash: systemctl enable --now dnf-automatic.timer: command not found...
maiki@deck:~$ systemctl status dnf-automatic.timer
○ dnf5-automatic.timer - dnf-automatic timer
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/dnf5-automatic.timer; disabled; preset: disabled)
Active: inactive (dead)

maiki@deck:~$ systemctl enable --now dnf5-automatic.timer
Created symlink '/etc/systemd/system/timers.target.wants/dnf5-automatic.timer' → '/usr/lib/systemd/system/dnf5-automatic.timer'.
I would like to reboot when needed, so here is my very simple config:
