I wiped my bare-metal system and rebuilt it from the ground up with Fedora Server, a minimal X/DWM/Quickshell desktop, GPU passthrough, bridge networking, Looking Glass, development tools, DaVinci Resolve, Steam, and the real-world fixes that come with doing this on actual hardware.
This is not a clean VM demo. This is the messy, advanced, real install with multiple drives, multiple GPUs, PCI passthrough, weird display issues, missing packages, broken libraries, and all the troubleshooting that makes Linux installs interesting.
Do not blindly copy this setup. Use it to see the decisions, tradeoffs, and problems you may run into when building a serious Fedora workstation/server from scratch.
Chapters:
0:00 Bare Metal Wipe
5:00 Partitioning Choices
10:00 First Boot Fixes
15:00 GPU Passthrough Prep
20:00 IOMMU Groups
25:00 Virt Manager Setup
30:00 Bridge Networking
35:00 VM Hardware Passthrough
40:00 Looking Glass Setup
45:00 Build Dependencies
50:00 VNC Recovery
55:00 Windows In Linux
1:00:00 Storage Cleanup
1:05:00 Resolve Library Fix
1:10:00 Intel GPU Drivers
1:15:00 Final System Check
If you enjoy advanced Linux installs, Fedora customization, VFIO, passthrough, minimal desktops, and seeing the problems instead of hiding them, this one is for you.
