Phase 4: the optional application categories, and the Firefox chrome. Everything Panama installed until now was what every machine gets, which meant a work laptop acquired emulators and a desktop that wanted Steam had to be told about it by hand. The interview now offers the categories in setup/packages/extras/ as a checklist -- gaming, creative, communication, virtualization -- and nothing is preselected, because a default here installs applications nobody chose on a machine whose owner answered a question they thought was about something else. A category is one file, and a category mixes both package managers because the applications do: Steam is in RPM Fusion, Slack publishes only a flatpak. So a bare line is a dnf package and a flatpak: line is a Flathub ID, and one file holds the whole answer rather than splitting each category across two. The menu is read from the directory rather than written down, so adding a category is adding a file. Every name in all four was resolved against the actual repositories before being written down, and the contract re-resolves them -- the point of admitting applications one at a time is that they stay installable, and a typo here fails on somebody else's machine, not this one. Firefox is declared, and its chrome is Edge-Frfox, vendored into config/firefox. sunhat carried that theme with no license and no attribution; it is MIT, and now it says so and says whose it is. It is the only piece of Panama's configuration that does not go to a path this repository chooses. Firefox owns the profile directory, names it with a random salt, and does not create one until the browser has been run -- so link-dotfiles finds or creates a profile and links both halves into it. Both, or neither works: chrome/ is the CSS and user.js sets the preference that makes Firefox read chrome/ at all, without which the theme is a directory of dead files. Two assumptions there were wrong, and the contract exists for both. Firefox has moved to the XDG directories -- the profile root is ~/.config/mozilla/firefox on this build, not ~/.mozilla/firefox, and writing to the wrong one themes nothing and says nothing about it. And -CreateProfile turns out to be non-interactive, so a fresh machine gets the theme on the first install rather than the second. The contract runs link-dotfiles for real against a throwaway home with no profile in it and looks at what came out; it was checked by pointing the search at the legacy path only and watching it fail. Also: the enrolment/enrollment spellings from the last commit are corrected. This repository is US-spelled everywhere else -- color 1131 times against colour never -- and consistency in prose is worth as much as it is in code.

# Panama
|
|
|
|
Formerly Sunhat. A personal config for Fedora, with the intention of helping a
|
|
user set up their Fedora system with one command.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
git clone https://git.gbrown.org/gib/Panama.git ~/.local/share/Panama
|
|
~/.local/share/Panama/install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`install` asks its questions first and then runs the stages in `setup/scripts/`
|
|
in order, without stopping again:
|
|
|
|
| Script | Does |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| `interview` | Every prompt, before anything is installed. Answers last one run and are never written to a durable path |
|
|
| `install-packages` | Repos (RPM Fusion, Terra, Hyprland COPR), the package lists in `setup/packages/`, then whichever optional categories were chosen |
|
|
| `link-dotfiles` | Symlinks `config/dot/<name>` → `~/.config/<name>`, and seeds the wallpaper, cursor theme and Firefox chrome |
|
|
| `change-settings` | Copies `config/copy/` over `/`, applies gsettings, enables user services |
|
|
| `link-vicinae-scripts` | Publishes the Vicinae script commands |
|
|
| `setup-identity` | git config, `gh auth login`, an SSH key — whichever were asked for |
|
|
| `install-hardware` | NVIDIA, Secure Boot enrollment, Fedora's extras, firmware — each only if it was asked for. Last, because enrollment and firmware are consumed at the next boot |
|
|
|
|
The run ends with a health summary from `panama-doctor`, which reports what is
|
|
actually running rather than what was attempted. It never fails the install: on a
|
|
fresh machine it legitimately reports things as not yet configured.
|
|
|
|
### Optional applications
|
|
|
|
Every machine gets the lists in `setup/packages/`. The interview also offers the
|
|
categories in `setup/packages/extras/` as a checklist, so a work laptop need not
|
|
acquire emulators and a desktop need not skip Steam. Nothing is preselected.
|
|
|
|
A category is one file. A bare line is a dnf package and a `flatpak:` line is a
|
|
Flathub ID, because the applications in a category do not all come from one
|
|
place. Adding a category is adding a file — the menu is read from the directory,
|
|
not written down anywhere.
|
|
|
|
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`](config/dot/hypr/README.md)** — it
|
|
covers the Lua migration, the uwsm environment gotcha, the HDR decision, the
|
|
full keymap, and troubleshooting.

|
|
