Craftidore's Shale

Shale: A sway-based Fedora distribution for Craftidore's personal use. Named after a rock because Fedora Atomic distributions used to all be named after rocks.

Based on wayblueorg/wayblue's hyprland/hyprland-nvidia ever since ublue's sway-nvidia got deprecated.

Installation

Warning

This is an experimental feature, try at your own discretion.

To rebase an existing atomic Fedora installation to the latest build:

• First rebase to the unsigned image, to get the proper signing keys and policies installed:

  # Nvidia Desktop
  rpm-ostree rebase ostree-unverified-registry:ghcr.io/craftidore/crafti-shale-desktop:latest
  # Laptop
  rpm-ostree rebase ostree-unverified-registry:ghcr.io/craftidore/crafti-shale-laptop:latest
  

• Reboot to complete the rebase:

  systemctl reboot
  

• Then rebase to the signed image, like so:

  # Desktop
  rpm-ostree rebase ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/craftidore/crafti-shale-desktop:latest
  # Laptop
  rpm-ostree rebase ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/craftidore/crafti-shale-laptop:latest
  

• Reboot again to complete the installation

  systemctl reboot
  

(You might have to rebase to bluebuild's template first; I'm not entirely sure, but that fixed an issue I was having once.)

The latest tag will automatically point to the latest build. That build will still always use the Fedora version specified in recipe.yml, so you won't get accidentally updated to the next major version.

Nvidia

According to the waybluorg/wayblue page, if you're using an nvidia image, run this after installation.

rpm-ostree kargs \
    --append-if-missing=rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau \
    --append-if-missing=modprobe.blacklist=nouveau \
    --append-if-missing=nvidia-drm.modeset=1 \
    --append-if-missing=nvidia-drm.fbdev=1

ISO

If build on Fedora Atomic, you can generate an offline ISO with the instructions available here. These ISOs cannot unfortunately be distributed on GitHub for free due to large sizes, so for public projects something else has to be used for hosting.

Verification

(idk if this information is still valid, since I switched to wayblue)

These images are signed with Sigstore's cosign. You can verify the signature by downloading the cosign.pub file from this repo and running the following command:

cosign verify --key cosign.pub ghcr.io/blue-build/template
