HA5PLS's fedora install documentation

To automatically setup the system, use the script fedora.sh, or run trough the manual setup.

Manual steps (this is what the script does)

• partitioning: differs every time, done at install
• dnf: cat ./dnf_packages.list | xargs sudo dnf install Note that these are my packages, filter them for your personal needs. Some may be dependencies of other tools (eg. mostly for nvim and LSPs) (to generate, use dnf repoquery --userinstalled > dnf_packages.list)
• Flathub: flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
• kitty: .config/kitty + fira_code_mono_nerd_font installed
• serif font: install google-roboto-fonts (used in gtk, qt, waybar)
• zsh: \$ZDOTDIR set in /etc/zshenv + omz install (sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)" && mv ~/.oh-my-zsh ~/.local/share/oh-my-zsh && mkdir -p ~/.local/state/zsh/) + .config/zsh + install fzf-tab plugin (git clone https://github.com/Aloxaf/fzf-tab ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/fzf-tab/, needs sqlite as dependency) + for some reason $XDG_STATE_HOME/zsh needs to be created manually
• hypr*: .config/hypr, install hyprlock, hyprsunset, hypridle,
• hyprpaper: .config/hypr + download from here by curl -o .local/share/backgrounds/eKxlw8.jpg -fsSL "https://live.staticflickr.com/5077/5914101671_d80c6591e8_k.jpg (also used for grub & sddm & hyprlock)
• waybar: .config/waybar + install fontawesome4-fonts (for icons)
• rofi: .config/rofi
• rofi-qalc: needs rofi-wayland-1.7.5+wayland2-3.fc40.x86_64 (find it in downloads or fedora build system) until ABI is fixed, rofi-devel, then compile this by hand: https://github.com/svenstaro/rofi-calc
• sddm: dependency: qt6-qtquickcontrols2 qt6-qtsvg, copy sddm/sddm.conf -> /etc/sddm.conf & sddm/themes/catppuccin-macchiato -> /usr/share/sddm/themes/ then # systemctl set-default graphical.target
• nvim: .config/nvim + kitty done + deps: clang (gcc-c++), unzip, npm, ripgrep, go, then proceed with nvchad init
• swaync: .config/swaync
• gtk: .config/gtk-*, dconf load /org/gtk/gtk4 < ./dconf-export/gtk4.dconf
• MPV: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mpv/
• QT5: .config/qt6ct/, xsettingsd/
• kdeconnect: # firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=kdeconnect + needs kdeconnectd restart to work
• plymouth: copy plymouth/themes/fedora-mac-style -> /usr/share/plymouth/themes/ + install plymouth-plugin-two-step + (plymouth-set-default-theme -l -> if this displays the theme, installation can begin: sudo plymouth-set-default-theme -R fedora-mac-style && sudo dracut --regenerate-all -f)
• grub: add line GRUB_THEME=/boot/themes/catppuccin-macchiato-grub-theme/theme.txt to /etc/default/grub and copy grub/themes -> /boot/themes then grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg To change font, you need grub2-tools-extra (for grub2-mkfont) and use it like grub2-mkfont -o grub/themes/catppuccin-macchiato/font.pf2 -s 24 /usr/share/fonts/<family>/<specimen>.ttf (after this you have to copy the configs again and regenerate the boot image)
• udev: /etc/udev/rules.d/ (for setting driver permissions)
• selinux: /etc/selinux/config to stay permissive (why even bother with selinux?)
• firefox(librewolf btw): do your own profile, install catpuccin theme and darkreader
• gnome tooling (file picker, keyring, etc): dconf load /org/gnome/desktop/ < ./dconf-export/gnome-desktop.dconf
• nautilus (file manager): gtk set up, then dconf load /org/gnome/nautilus < ./dconf-export/nautilus.dconf
• gedit (gui text editor): gtk set up, then dconf load /org/gnome/gedit < ./dconf-export/gedit.dconf
