The shell named a font, a pointer theme and a wallpaper that no package list installed and no stage placed. It went unnoticed because this machine collected all three under sunhat and never lost them; a fresh Fedora box would have come up with tofu for every shell glyph, the default pointer, and no wallpaper -- while Wallpaper.qml called that missing file `shippedPath`. The dependency contract reported PASS throughout, because it reads commands that scripts invoke and none of these are one. The new assets contract covers what it structurally cannot: fonts and pointer themes named in configs and gsettings, a shipped wallpaper that must exist, commands launched from QML, and directories nothing puts into service. Written against the broken tree first, where it found ten faults. Four of those were packages nobody had noticed were missing -- gnome-calendar, podman, pipewire-utils and flatpak -- alongside gnome-control-center, which backs fifteen rows of Panama's own Settings and is commented so it is not mistaken for GNOME-session residue later. Fonts turned out to need no install stage at all. Terra, which install-packages already enables, packages every Nerd Font, so sunhat's wget-and-unzip is replaced by five lines in a package list. The pointer theme had no such luck: it is packaged nowhere, so it is vendored rather than downloaded from a URL that can rot. espanso stays undeclared. It is in no enabled repository, and building it from source is the install method this repository is trying to stop using. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Q84axqUE5inJhf5Jz9CFy1
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 |

full keymap, and troubleshooting.
