Network & Devices was 92 lines and two buttons that opened GNOME. It now scans, joins, and pairs directly through Quickshell.Networking and Quickshell.Bluetooth -- NetworkManager and BlueZ over DBus, no shelling out to nmcli or bluetoothctl. That was the founding requirement for this desktop: never having to drop to a terminal to join a network. Scanning follows the page being visible. Wi-Fi scanning and especially Bluetooth discovery hold the radio, and running either for a list nobody is looking at spends airtime on nothing. Joining a secured network gets a real password field, not the clipboard popover's search box with different placeholder text: a Wi-Fi key typed into a field that echoes it is readable by anyone behind you, and a search glyph in front of a password prompt is simply wrong. Two bugs found by looking at the rendered page, both silent: The device lookups used enum names that do not exist -- NetworkDeviceType.Wifi rather than DeviceType.Wifi -- so both returned null and the page reported "No Wi-Fi adapter" on a machine whose Wi-Fi was connected. Nothing was logged; QML resolves an unknown enum member to undefined and compares happily. signalStrength is 0.0-1.0, not a percentage, so thresholds written for 0-100 put every network including the connected one in the bottom bucket. The labels now use the same buckets as the icons in quicksettings/WifiList.qml so the two cannot disagree. The contract compares what the service resolves against what nmcli reports, rather than only checking that nothing crashed. Also makes the Home Assistant bridge hermetic: resolve_config read the user's private env file even when a caller supplied an explicit environment, so adding a real PANAMA_HOME_ASSISTANT_ENTITIES to that file silently overrode a fixture asserting the legacy fallback. An explicit environment is now the whole environment; production still reads the file. Its live contract skips when no token is configured -- an absent credential is not a defect, and a suite expected to be red stops being read -- while a configured-but-broken bridge still fails.

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, Panama 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.
