It’s been hours and hours of my time I never imagined this could burn a whole afternooon…

GNOME Disks provides an intuitive graphical interface to manage storage drives. It comes pre-installed on popular Linux distributions like Ubuntu, Fedora and Debian. If Disks is already available on your system, simply launch it and jump to Step 4.
TIP: If GNOME Disks is not installed, use your distribution‘s package manager to install. For example, on Ubuntu/Debian run: sudo apt install gnome-disks

Insert your USB drive and launch GNOME Disks.  
In the sidebar, click your flash drive‘s entry (check the size to verify)  

Select USB in Disks sidebar

Click the menu icon next to the drive name and select "Format Disk" from the context menu.  

Format disk menu option

Confirm your selection in the prompt and click "Format" in the dialog after setting "(MBR/DOS)" for the new partition table. This will completely erase all data on the drive.  

Format disk confirmation prompt

Wait for formatting to complete. Then click the "+" button to create a new partition.  

Create partition button

In the "Create Partition" dialog, set capacity and partition type as NTFS.  

Set partition details

Open your Windows 10 ISO image file, right click the icon, and select "Open With Disk Image Mounter". This will mount it as a virtual drive.  
Open the newly mounted drive, select all files/folders, copy them over to your flash drive partition you just formatted.  

Copy Windows ISO contents

After the copy completes, right click the USB partition and eject it safely. The drive is now ready to be used for installing or repairing Windows.  

The GNOME Disks utility provides an easy graphical way to format drives and configure partitions. But if you‘re looking for advanced storage management, GParted is an excellent choice. Let‘s see how to create Windows 10 media with it.

I tried several other ones too I tried restoring disk image like i do with linux iso and NOTHING IS WORKING IT JUST WONT WORK MAN…

what am i doing wrong???

I honestly should never have removed windows from it. I knew I would need that pos OS at some point for something and they seriously make it harder than anything i have ever installed ever, to install on a computer. I don;'t get it man. It’s ruining my entire day.

So I have that error when it starts up and it says “RDSEED32 is broken disabling the corresponding CPU bit”

I noticed today that AMD has already patched this but what is the easiest and beginner friendly way to update it on my machine? I run fedora.

I was hoping it would be some update within Linux but so far no dice as according to this page from AMD the update has already been issued. (https://www.amd.com/en/resources/product-security/bulletin/amd-sb-7055.html)

I know windows is usually the easiest way to do these things but I would be willing to learn a little bit (within my technical limits) to avoid using it for this.

And if I DID have to use windows, right now I’m using LUKS encryption so isn’t that like a monster to add windows into without messing stuff up?

I am very beginner on command line stuff but can navigate through files and stuff like that.

What’s the best move for this?

I have always heard not to use antivirus on Linux but I saw the post about a guy getting a RAT exploit backdoored through wine and it had me thinking should I be using ClamAV or some other antivirus for Linux?

I have an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 4.7GHz processor and AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT setup hooked up to a Samsung S90D as a monitor. Running Fedora KDE Plasma.

I can enable 120hz and HDR from my settings but see no way to set VRR anywhere. It works with the Playstation so I know the tv is capable. I asked AI a couple times just to get a rough idea of things I could try and tried the command

kwriteconfig5 --file kwinrc --group Compositing --key “VRR” “true”

but didn’t recieve a response so idk if this worked or not. Is this going to require installing AMD proprietary drivers? I briefly read a little about that and it looks like the process is quite a bit above my current skill level.

I saw a dev post about disabling Multi Stream Transport on the monitor but I could not find this setting on my tv anywhere so I think this may be a monitor only setting.

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated thank you so much in advance!

(I am a beginner) So I recently installed a fresh version of Fedora KDE Plasma after switching from GNOME Fedora because my understanding is that gaming is a bit better supported with KDE. (I switched because Cyberpunk wouldnt let me enable HDR even though it was on in GNOME settings and am on the journey of using gamescope and all that with this KDE install)

So the first thing I noticed is Discover absolutely WILL NOT let me download RPM versions of anything Flathub only even though I do have all third party repositories enabled. On GNOME I could just toggle a switch right on the software page to select which version of an application I wanted to install but no such luck here which is a bit of a bummer.

Normally I would use flatpaks but Steams flatpak requires me changing the udev rules for input and I dont think Im ready for all that quite yet so wanted the RPM version which I installed using the official fedora documentation to do so (https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/gaming/proton/) and I did all of that and it did install however I encountered the errors in the pictures above and my questions are:

1. Can I just ignore this with no issues to my system?

and

2. Is this somehow related to KDE not showing me third party repository options?
