Il Fedora Doc Team Version F39 Last review: 2024-03-04

Questa guida intende fornire una panoramica e un’introduzione all’installazione di Fedora. Prende in considerazione gli utenti con diversi livelli di conoscenza ed esperienza con Fedora, e quindi copre maggiori dettagli di quanto alcuni utenti potrebbero richiedere. Ciò dovrebbe aiutare specificamente i nuovi utenti a completare il processo di installazione senza interruzioni. Gli utenti possono saltare la sezione relativa ad argomenti familiari.

Introduzione

Questa guida copre l’installazione di Fedora, una distribuzione Linux basata su software gratuito e open source. Questo manuale ti aiuta a installare Fedora su desktop, laptop e server. Il sistema di installazione è facile da usare, anche se non si ha una conoscenza preliminare di Linux o delle reti di computer. Se selezioni le opzioni predefinite, Fedora fornisce un sistema operativo completo, con solide impostazioni di sicurezza e incluse applicazioni di produttività, utilità Internet e strumenti di amministrazione.

Fedora viene fornito in diverse varianti della distribuzione, adattati a scopi speciali. Le chiamiamo Edizioni e spin.

A causa di queste differenze, non esiste un’unica procedura di installazione.

La maggior parte delle edizioni e delle spin, ma non tutte, utilizzano Anaconda, il programma di installazione di Fedora, ma in modo abbastanza diverso nei dettagli.

Pertanto, ogni edizione descrive l’installazione separatamente. La maggior parte degli spin si basa su una delle edizioni, principalmente Fedora Workstation, e utilizza la procedura di installazione corrispondente.

Tuttavia, ci sono alcuni passaggi preparatori che sono quasi gli stessi per tutte le varianti, ad esempio è necessario preparare un supporto di installazione.

According to different usage und purposes the variation not only differ in their installation process, they differ in administration and usage. To learn how to use an installed Fedora system, see the manuals available at the specific variant documentation pages.

Regarding installation, be especially prepared for the fact that each variant requires additional post-installation processes.

General preparations

Despite all the differentiation, some things are the same for all variants.

Download the software deliverables

The differentiation according to tasks and areas of application corresponds to a differentiation of the download options and the further processing.

To find out more about Fedora download options, see Fedora Downloads.

Visit the Fedora Project website to download a distribution file.

Prepare boot media

An install on hardware usually requires to transfer the download file to a bootable medium, mostly an USB stick. Fedora Media Writer is the tool of choice, developed and supported by Fedora.

Alternatively you may try balenaEtcher or the Ventoy project, both available for Linux, macOS, and Windows. The latter is specifically useful if you want to have several distributions and versions available on one stick.

Getting Additional Help

If you encounter any problems which are not described in documentation, you might get help from members of the community - developers, users, and others. There are many ways to get help: the Ask Fedora website, mailing lists, forums, or IRC.

The discussion forum Ask Fedora is the recommended way to start with. See Getting help for detailed information.

NVIDIA

If you use an NVIDIA GPU and are experiencing significant visual issues while running Fedora from a live USB, it could be that your GPU is not fully compatible with the FOSS Nouveau driver. One possible workaround for this situation is to do the following 3 steps:

During the live USB boot process, hit e at the GRUB boot menu.
Find the line that begins with linux, and add nouveau.modeset=0 to the end of that line.
Press <ctrl> + x to resume the boot process.
