About reported four component versions and, since this morning, a short hardware summary. It now covers what someone actually wants from an About page or a fastfetch run: operating system, model, hostname, kernel, uptime, package counts, shell, locale, windowing system, resolution, processor, graphics, memory, swap, and disk. Rows are ordered the way fastfetch presents them -- what the system is, then what is installed on it, then the hardware underneath -- and the GPU rows are spliced in directly after Processor rather than appended, because a graphics card listed after "Disk" reads as an afterthought. Graphics is still joined from GraphicsDevices rather than read a second time, so the two readouts cannot disagree. Memory is total, not used. About is not a monitor: a "12.4 GiB used" figure is stale before it finishes drawing, and the Home page's vitals readout is where live numbers belong. Disk is the exception because free space does not move while you look at it. Package counting is why this whole helper runs on demand -- rpm -qa on a full workstation is a few thousand lines and takes a moment. Swap and package counts are omitted entirely when they are zero or the tools are absent, rather than reported as "0" or "Unknown".

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.
Log in as "Hyprland (uwsm-managed)", not plain "Hyprland".
