Things I did after installing Fedora 24

Removed evolution application since I don't use it.


dnf remove evolution

Configure RPMFusion repo


wget https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-24.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh rpmfusion-free-release-24.noarch.rpm 

Upgrade the system


dnf upgrade

Install Intel Linux graphic drivers


wget https://download.01.org/gfx/fedora/24/x86_64/intel-graphics-update-tool-2.0.3-24.intel20163.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ivh intel-graphics-update-tool-2.0.3-24.intel20163.x86_64.rpm

Install Google Chrome


rpm -ivh google-chrome-stable_current_x86_64.rpm 
warning: google-chrome-stable_current_x86_64.rpm: Header V4 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 7fac5991: NOKEYerror: Failed dependencies: lsb >= 4.0 is needed by google-chrome-stable-55.0.2883.87-1.x86_64

Install redhat-lsb as well if you receive above error when you try to install Google Chrome.
dnf provides lsb
dnf install redhat-lsb

Install Gnome Tweak Tool and configure it to show files on Desktop


dnf install gnome-tweak-tool

Disable dnf-makecache service


systemctl status dnf-makecache.service
