The machine runs essentially every popular self-hosted service, and on looking at them the batch was revised once and then dropped. Almost all of it is infrastructure for other services rather than anything a desktop consumes -- whisper there feeds Bazarr subtitles, not dictation here -- the desktop has the better GPU anyway, and the one genuinely desktop-shaped idea is already solved by an installed application. Recorded rather than deleted so it is not proposed again, with the lesson that matters: a service existing is not a reason to integrate it.

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".
