Create symbolic link with your Windows Music folder inside your Fedora Linux Music folder by running in terminal two commands,
cd ~/Music
and thanln -s /run/media/web/01DB7617A7227420/Users/Webmaster/Music/* .
and you'll be good to go!
- You should definitely take a look at your desktop flavor in Debian. I've noticed, it's a ROCK SOLID distro and even though the Gnome version that ships with Debian is a little older, it's noticeably faster than Fedora (which is also smooth) on my 14th Gen Intel/RTX 3060 video card. It's worth looking into and testing for yourself. The install takes longer with Debian but check it out.
- Look into the “Atomic” builds if you love Fedora, you might find it MUCH more stabile and perform faster. The silverblue is Gnome Fedora but isolated and locked down.
- If you test this route out, consider creating an “alias” command for DNG into the OSTREE one… look below.
If using Fedora Silverblue, create alias for two commands so you don't have to break habit
- edit file
nano ~/.bashrc
- paste this to the very bottom of you file than CTRL + X, then Y, and then Enter
alias yum='rpm-ostree'
alias dnf='rpm-ostree'
- apply the changes
source ~/.bashrc
- test with either
dnf --help
oryum --help
and you should see response

The default media player that ships with Silverblue Fedora Gnome is not very good. If you want minimal, I recommend:
1. Amberol (no right click edit/delete song)
2. Lollypop
3. Clementine > Amarok by KDE
4. Byte (not very good but has radio stuff)
5. Decibels/Audio Player by Gnome (Super Bare Bones)
More options I’m sure but I only searched for like 10m and tested stuff out…
