      Running on Fedora 35 Cinnamon like charm.

      But please, correct the text “sudo dnf install rpmfusion-free-release-*.norch.rpm ” to “sudo dnf install rpmfusion-free-release-*.noarch.rpm”

      Nearly all your commands should be prefaced by sudo. Average should *not* run a root shell.

        i have nothing to lose
        it’s not like this is an ultimate editionn
        it’s an edition that doesn’t boot into gui, that won’t play youtube, music, or movies, that has a crashing konqueror, gparted doesn’t rescue files or partitions, will not post images in f.b., and on and on. so there isn’t anything to lose except for an installation that is defective: centos
