information info
This org document is a list of instructions on how to install the whole setup of my personal system, including installation of standalone programs.
installing fedora minimal with btrfs snapshots (snapper)
this sections assumes that you know how to use sway (window manager), neovim (text editor), basic terminal shell commands, burn an iso to disk, as well as using the anaconda installer.
get the os image (Fedora Everything) from here https://alt.fedoraproject.org/en/ and burn it to your usb/other.
verifying the iso file
- Download the checksum file (from https://alt.fedoraproject.org/en/) into the same directory as the image you downloaded.
- Import Fedora's GPG key(s)
curl -O https://fedoraproject.org/fedora.gpg
- Verify the CHECKSUM file is valid
gpgv --keyring ./fedora.gpg *-CHECKSUM
- Verify the checksum matches
sha256sum -c *-CHECKSUM
installing fedora and setting up btrfs with snapshots
differences/notes before continuing with the installation:
- some dependencies aren't available with 'fedora custom operating system'. before installing snapper install these packages:
sudo dnf install neovim sway firefox locate git bzip2
neovim
: a text editor to edit filesfirefox
: a browser to follow along guidelocate
,git
,bzip2
: missing dependencies not included in the guide.
- software selection will be
fedora custom operating system
boot your fedora installer media and follow this guide, make sure to boot with EUFI mode: https://sysguides.com/install-fedora-38-with-snapshot-and-rollback-support/ or for full disk encryption https://sysguides.com/install-fedora-38-with-full-disk-encryption-snapshot-and-rollback-support/
how to make new user and add to wheel
# make a user and add to the wheel group
useradd -m -g wheel user_name
# set a password
passwd user_name
prerequisites
for building/installing packages, also some dependencies for doomemacs, and zsh.
sudo dnf install curl ca-certificates make automake gcc gcc-c++ kernel-devel git util-linux-user zsh ntpsec dnf-plugins-core golang flatpak cmake libevdev-devel systemd-devel yaml-cpp-devel boost-devel ripgrep fd-find ShellCheck tar pip npm
installing dotfiles
# getting dotfiles
git clone https://gitea.bubbletea.dev/cho/dotfiles ~/.dots
cp -rv ~/.dots/home/default/.* ~/
# or using stow
# make sure you make directories you don't want as symlinks
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/applications
mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
mkdir -p ~/.config
mkdir -p ~/.config/shell
mkdir -p ~/.config/mpd
mkdir -p ~/.config/zsh
mkdir -p ~/.config/newsboat
mkdir -p ~/.config/nvim
cd ~/.dots/home/ && stow default --target=$HOME/
how to unstow dotfiles
cd ~/.dots/home/ && stow -D default --target=$HOME/
setting up rpmfusion
from https://rpmfusion.org/Configuration and https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/Multimedia
# rpmfusion
sudo dnf install https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
sudo dnf groupupdate core
# multimedia
sudo dnf swap ffmpeg-free ffmpeg --allowerasing
sudo dnf groupupdate multimedia --setop="install_weak_deps=False" --exclude=PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin
sudo dnf groupupdate sound-and-video
#amd
sudo dnf swap mesa-va-drivers mesa-va-drivers-freeworld
sudo dnf swap mesa-vdpau-drivers mesa-vdpau-drivers-freeworld
#dvd
sudo dnf install rpmfusion-free-release-tainted
sudo dnf install libdvdcss
# non-free firmware
sudo dnf install rpmfusion-nonfree-release-tainted
sudo dnf --repo=rpmfusion-nonfree-tainted install "*-firmware"
installing dnf packages
this will install programs, as well as (99% of) dependencies of shell scripts and configuration included within lf (file manager) the other dependency not included in packages.txt is `pup` (included in a section below)
sudo dnf install -y $(cat ~/.dots/packages.txt)
installing swayfx (window manager)
sudo dnf copr enable swayfx/swayfx
sudo dnf install
configuring sudoers
Allow wheel users to sudo with password and allow several system commands (like `shutdown` to run without password).
echo "%wheel ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL" >/etc/sudoers.d/00-wheel-can-sudo
echo "%wheel ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/shutdown,/usr/bin/reboot,/usr/bin/systemctl suspend,/usr/bin/wifi-menu,/usr/bin/mount,/usr/bin/umount,/usr/bin/dnf update,/usr/bin/dnf update -y,/usr/bin/dnf upgrade,/usr/bin/dnf upgrade,/usr/bin/dnf makecache,/usr/bin/dnf makecache -y,/usr/bin/loadkeys" >/etc/sudoers.d/01-cmds-without-password
echo "Defaults editor=/usr/bin/nvim" >/etc/sudoers.d/02-visudo-editor
Make zsh the default shell for the user.
name=$USER
chsh -s /bin/zsh "$name" >/dev/null 2>&1
sudo -u "$name" mkdir -p "/home/$name/.cache/zsh/"
sudo -u "$name" mkdir -p "/home/$name/.config/abook/"
sudo -u "$name" mkdir -p "/home/$name/.config/mpd/playlists/"
at this point, you should logout and login again to set the variables.
librewolf (browser)
from https://librewolf.net/installation/fedora/
sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo https://rpm.librewolf.net/librewolf-repo.repo
sudo dnf install librewolf

doom emacs
first we need to install marked for markdown support
sudo npm install -g marked
then install emacs
sudo dnf install emacs
alternatively build emacs with native compilation and pgtk for better compatibility with wayland
## clone the emacs repository
git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/emacs.git
## install dependencies

sworkstyle (workspace icons) (optional)
this is disabled by default within sway config, but compatible with waybar and sway
