## Update 2024-08-22
Fedora installs only free software by default, which means that [Kdenlive][] and
other multimedia software will have trouble using H.264 and H.265 video codecs.
A free version of [ffmpeg][] is installed by default. This is what I did to
replace `ffmpeg-free` with the non-free `ffmpeg` on F40:
1. Enable the non-free [RPM Fusion][] repositories as written on the [RPM Fusion
homepage][]:
```bash
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 config-manager --enable fedora-cisco-openh264
```
2. Remove `ffmpeg-free` in favor of `ffmpeg`:
```bash
sudo dnf swap ffmpeg-free ffmpeg --allowerasing
```
After doing that and restarting Kdenlive, I was able to render my project using
the H.264 and H.265 codecs as I used to be able to do with Ubuntu-based systems.
