Home led with a diagram of the attached monitor -- DP-2, 4500 x 3000, 1.13x scale, XRGB2101010 -- which is Displays-page data, was the largest thing on the screen, and has never been needed there. Under it sat a permanently open search field for a weather location that is set about once a year, and then roughly half a page of nothing. It now opens with the two or three things somebody would open Home to do: starting or ending a focus session, Do Not Disturb, and what is running. The Do Not Disturb switch is disabled and says why while a mode is holding it, so it cannot appear to be a control that is being ignored. Findings sit above a reassurance line, the same shape the Firewall and Containers pages use. Each finding names the page that can resolve it, because a home page reporting a problem it cannot help with is only an alarm. On this machine that is one finding today -- PostgreSQL and Redis reachable from the network -- above "27 health checks pass, 522 GB free, snapshots ran at 02:00". "Do next" appears only when there is something in it. Weather stays, as the greeting's second line rather than a card with a search box open, and its picker is collapsed behind the current location. FocusModes was missing `import qs.config`, so DesktopPreferences was undefined and the modes list came back undefined with it -- shipped two commits ago with nothing noticing, because until Home referenced the service no isolated shell had ever instantiated it. Focus modes would have quietly had no modes. Pulling these services together on one page is what surfaced it. LocationPicker gained a picked signal, the same way DisplayModePicker did, so a container can put the search away without reaching into it.

Panama
Formerly Sunhat. A personal config for Fedora, with the intention of helping a user set up their Fedora system with one command.
git clone https://git.gbrown.org/gib/Panama.git ~/.local/share/Panama
~/.local/share/Panama/install
install runs everything in setup/scripts/ in order:
| Script | Does |
|---|---|
install-packages |
Repos (RPM Fusion, Terra, Hyprland COPR), then the four package lists in setup/packages/ |
link-dotfiles |
Symlinks config/dot/<name> → ~/.config/<name> |
change-settings |
Copies config/copy/ over /, applies gsettings, enables user services |
Existing configs are moved to config/old/ rather than overwritten.
Desktops
Panama configures two desktops that coexist. Both sessions stay available in GDM, so you can switch back and forth while you settle in.
GNOME
The original setup: Forge for tiling, Dash-to-Dock, Openbar, Vitals,
AppIndicator support. Configured through config/dot/forge/ and gsettings.
Hyprland
A from-scratch replacement built to reproduce the GNOME setup closely enough that muscle memory transfers — same keybinds, same panel contents, same dock, same Tokyo Night Moon palette.
| Piece | What it is |
|---|---|
config/dot/hypr/ |
Compositor config. Lua, not hyprlang — see its README |
config/dot/quickshell/ |
The shell: bar, dock, Continuum overview, Settings, Screen Intelligence, focus sessions, quick settings, notifications, screenshot UI |
config/dot/vicinae/ |
Raycast-style launcher, themed |
config/dot/uwsm/ |
Session environment (see the uwsm caveat in the hypr README) |
config/dot/wofi/ |
Fallback launcher, in case the shell fails to start |
config/dot/xdg-desktop-portal/ |
Portal backend routing |
Start here: config/dot/hypr/README.md — it
covers the Lua migration, the uwsm environment gotcha, the HDR decision, the
full keymap, and troubleshooting.
