How To: get exFAT drive support for Fedora 32

In 2019 Microsoft opened up the the exFAT specifications, and while exFAT drive support should be coming to the Linux kernel soon and distributions like Ubuntu include support out-of-box, Fedora does not yet support exFAT drives without a couple of extra tools.

To install exFAT support, you’ll need to enable the free RPM Fusion repository using the command below:

sudo dnf install https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm

Then run the commands below:

sudo dnf update && sudo dnf upgrade
sudo dnf install fuse-exfat
