Before getting to know your apps, install RPM Fusion to provide extra functionality to your Linux computer. It's only a few clicks, but will ensure you can play all the music and video files (and more) that you used to use on your Mac or Windows PC.
First, install the open source package rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm
Follow the onscreen prompts to install.
Next, install the other package, containing closed-source options, from rpm-nonfree-releaes-stable.noarch.rpm
Follow the onscreen prompts to install.
