wifi related / Firefox related

[David]

I posted something earlier about Firefox and flatpaks, and
after setting up my Firefox settings using the Fedora flatpak,
I realized that I had the same video-codec issue that others had written
about.
Realizing that all of that was all over my head, I removed Firefox and
reinstalled
the Flathub version, and all the video stuff seems to work.

Please do not shoot the messenger.    I realize Fedora has
ideology about FOSS.     So I answered one of my earlier questions.   There
are reasons not to use the Fedora flatpak of Firefox, as I was able to get
the
repository version to work.

Disclaimer:   I am in Rawhide and maybe some of the rpmfusion stuff for
Rawhide still has some kinks in it.    Right ?


On a totally different note,

I purposely purchased a new X570 ASUS motherboard
without wi-fi, because of my unpleasant experience with Broadcom wi-fi
on my previous motherboards.

I purchased the ASUS PCE-AX58BT add-in card, and installed that
and whah-laa, my wi-f worked without having to do anything.   It is
an expensive card, and I do not know if I am getting all the potential
of the card, as far as wi-fi speeds.    I did an internet speed test,
( using my motels crappy wi-fi ) and it was a decent speed
( download 98 / upload 46 ).     One advantage to going this route, is
that I could potentially upgrade my wi-fi in the future, if a new card came
out with
wi-fi 7 or wi-fiXT, LOL !     And they are relatively easy to install if
you have a spacious
case and a free slot.     However, they might distract from the display of
your
video card, if you wanting to show off your fancy new ASUS RTX 3080.
