atomic-t480s

A collection of Atomic Fedora images loaded with utilities for Lenovo T480/s functionality. These images are suitable for daily operations.

Images are built every Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday at 08:00 UTC.

Highlights

• All images are based on Fedora's official :latest images, so the image will also follow Atomic Fedora's :latest versions. I do not plan to maintain multiple versions, such as n-1 or :rawhide. Be aware that builds may fail right after the major version bump, in which case I will monitor them and take measures as I see fit (e.g. replace COPRs with actively maintained versions).
• Multimedia codecs, intel-vaapi-driver & MESA packages from RPMFusion & fedora-multimedia, eliminating the need to manually layer codecs
• btrfs-assistant installed for snapshots & BTRFS maintenance
• distrobox installed for a better container experience
• fish and zsh shells installed natively, ready for use
• Lenovo T480/s utilities integrated in the image - python-validity for fingerprint sensors, throttled for undervolting, TLP for power management, and zcfan for hassle-free fan-control
• Qogir & Tela default icons installed at the system level
• IBM Plex Sans & Mono, Ubuntu Sans & Mono installed from Google Fonts at the system level

Enabling T480s features

All images are equipped with a command to automate set-up of all services - python-validity, TLP, and zcfan. throttled automation is NOT included, as it requires the user's own testing and adjustments.

To automatically configure these utilities, run cheat setup-t480s, which configures the following in order:

1. Apply thinkpad_acpi.fan_control=1 kernel arguments for zcfan as well as sysrq_always_enabled=1 for safety
2. Enables local initramfs regeneration
3. Enables fingerprint sensor drivers
4. Installs TLP-UI Flatpak

Reboot must be done before the features can work as expected.

Silverblue images are equpped with a lineup of default GNOME apps as system Flatpaks. In addition, I have also made minor changes to the GNOME environment to improve user experience.

As a user who enjoys GNOME's way of things, who also recognizes that there are minor but impactful improvements that can be made to the GNOME environment, I've decided to equip it with the following convenient and useful extensions automatically enabled:

• Alphabetical App Grid
• AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support
• Bluetooth Battery Meter
• Caffeine
• Just Perfection
• Night Theme Switcher

From my humble perspective, these extensions do not modify the essence of the GNOME way, but rather enhance it, and so I have decided to bring them to you too.

In addition, nautilus-copy-path is also installed by default at a system level.

Minor gschemas changes have also been made, which affects:

• favorite apps
• default background image
• accent color set to purple & default fonts (set to Ubuntu Sans 10.5 - it's very pretty, pleasant, and performant!)
• set Mutter to wait 30s before an app is considered not responding
• Nautilus set to show link options & permanent file deletion

Silverblue: Installation

You can rebase from an existing Silverblue installation and running the commands below.

3. Rebase to the signed version of the image.

rpm-ostree rebase ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/askpng/silverblue:latest

4. Reboot your system.

systemctl reboot

Kinoite

Kinoite users get a fairly default KDE experience - mainly because I do not have much experience and interest in tinkering with KDE. However, I have made sure to include Koi and Kvantum for your convenience!

KDE essentials are also installed as system Flatpaks.
