Fedora

Install the host on Fedora 43 or 44, Workstation or KDE. Bazzite and other Fedora Atomic spins have their own page.

One command instead? The guided installer (preview) does steps 2 to 4 and warns when step 1 is missing:

curl -fsSL https://punktfunk.unom.io/install.sh | sh

1. GPU driverCopy Anchor Link

• NVIDIA: the driver comes from RPM Fusion. Enable it, install, reboot:

  Copy Text

  sudo dnf install \
    https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm \
    https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
  sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda

  With Secure Boot on, the module won't load until you enrol its key: Troubleshooting.

• AMD / Intel: nothing to install; Mesa carries Vulkan Video and VAAPI. For every codec, add RPM Fusion's mesa-va-drivers-freeworld (AMD) or intel-media-driver (Intel).

2. Install the hostCopy Anchor Link

Add the repo and install the host, the console and the plugin runner. On Fedora 43, change fedora-44 to bazzite in baseurl first (rpm -E %fedora prints your release):

sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/punktfunk.repo >/dev/null <<'REPO'[punktfunk]name=punktfunk# fedora-44 on Fedora 44; bazzite on Fedora 43 (a plain Fedora 43 build of the same package)baseurl=https://git.unom.io/api/packages/unom/rpm/fedora-44enabled=1gpgcheck=1repo_gpgcheck=1gpgkey=https://git.unom.io/api/packages/unom/rpm/repository.key       https://git.unom.io/api/packages/unom/generic/punktfunk-keys/1/RPM-GPG-KEY-punktfunkREPOsudo dnf install punktfunk punktfunk-web punktfunk-scripting

sudo dnf upgrade updates it from then on. Restart the host afterwards with systemctl --user restart punktfunk-host, or let the console update it.

3. Let it use your controllersCopy Anchor Link

Join the groups, then log out and back in:

sudo usermod -aG input "$USER"       # virtual gamepads
sudo usermod -aG punktfunk "$USER"   # virtual Steam Deck controller

4. Start itCopy Anchor Link

From a terminal inside your desktop session:

systemctl --user enable --now punktfunk-host punktfunk-web

Fedora runs firewalld, and no client reaches the host until you open it. Open the host, and the console for other devices:

sudo firewall-cmd --reload   # load the service definitions the package installed
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=punktfunk-native --add-service=punktfunk-web
sudo firewall-cmd --reload

For Moonlight, also add punktfunk-gamestream (Ports & firewall).

Next: Quick Start, step 3: open the console and pair a device.

• Stream with nobody logged in: Running as a service, or a headless KDE box: KDE → Headless session.
• A newer Fedora with no repo group yet: Build from source.
