Wi-Fi had a switch and wired did not, which left no way to take the cable down without reaching for nmcli -- and this machine has two interfaces on one subnet, so turning one off is a genuinely useful thing to be able to do. Both halves are needed to turn it off. Disconnecting alone survives the session but not a carrier event or a reboot, because NetworkManager brings an autoconnecting device straight back; the switch sets the device's autoconnect alongside it. The device property rather than the connection profile, so a toggle here does not quietly rewrite a saved connection somebody expects to come up at boot. The first version built a trap door. It decided whether the switch was usable from hasLink, which reads false while a device is merely disconnected even though NetworkManager still reports the carrier as on -- so turning Ethernet off made the switch disable itself, blame the cable, and offer no way back. A wired device that exists can always be asked to come up; if there is really no cable the attempt fails and says so, which is the honest failure. The word "off" is used where the old text guessed "no cable", because nothing available here can tell those apart. Verified as a round trip against the real device, including that off stays off through eight seconds rather than reconnecting a moment later, and that the mechanism tested is the one the code uses -- the first test drove the connection profile while the code drives the device, which are different things.

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.
