The Fedy open source graphical utility that helps Fedora Linux users tweak their installations has recently been updated with a revamped user interface and support for the Fedora 22 distro.

The Fedora Project will release later today, May 26, the highly anticipated Fedora 22 Linux operating system, so you will need a powerful and straightforward tool to tweak some things after installations. As such, we can report that Fedy 4.0.1 has been released today just for that.

Fedy (formerly Fedora Utils) promises to help you enable support for multimedia codecs or install beautiful fonts and enhance your web browsing experience with the Adobe Flash Player and Oracle Java plugins.

The utility can also be used to make your Fedora 22 distribution run faster by turning off unnecessary services, add certain users to sudoers or restrict access to others, and enables various other options that will make for a better Fedora experience, such as automatic login.

Here's how to install Fedy 4.0 on Fedora 22

Fedora 22 will be released today, so immediately after installation, it is recommended that you install the Fedy utility to make everything run the way you want and enable options that are not visible to the naked eye.

Therefore, installing the latest version of Fedy requires you to open a Terminal window and copy/paste the following command. Don't forget to hit the Enter key on your keyboard and input your password to execute the command.

code
su -c "curl https://satya164.github.io/fedy/fedy-installer -o fedy-installer && chmod +x fedy-installer && ./fedy-installer"
After installation, the application will automatically open, allowing you to tweak various components of your Fedora 22 installation, as well as to install plugins and packages that will make your life easier when using the Linux distribution.
