Simplified Fedora install

[BrunoVernay]

It works the same way as Debian. I tested it on my Distro (Fedora 29).

Thank you, Bruno! I thought the point of using kernel-devel-uname-r is that it will get upgraded, thus pulling the fresh kernel-devel-$(uname -r) package with it. Whereas if you directly install the package with the version in the name, that will stay forever. Am I missing something?

I made a little research, but did not find a clear explanation.
The only reason I would see is to allow to use:

> sudo dnf install kernel-devel-uname-r

Package kernel-devel-4.19.4-300.fc29.x86_64 is already installed.
Package kernel-devel-4.19.5-300.fc29.x86_64 is already installed.
Package kernel-devel-4.19.6-300.fc29.x86_64 is already installed.
Dependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.
Complete!

This is simple and gets the devel for all the installed versions at once.
But I prefer the simplicity and absence of magic ...

Could get merged no ?

One thing to add for fedora issues is that devices aren't always recognised and you need to unset GDK_CORE_DEVICE_EVENTS to fix it.
