Sway + GNOME shill
Use at your own risk! This is tailored to my setup and uses on Fedora.
First, clone this repo into its permanent directory (otherwise stuff will
break) and cd into it; then you can install the packages needed (at least,
those available in the Fedora repos):
sudo dnf install $(cat packages.txt)You should now be able to switch to zsh:
chsh -s $(which zsh)Firefox is used throughout this repo. You can just install it regularly but
for the sandboxing and quicker updates I prefer the official Flatpak; then
creating a firefox script in e.g. .local/bin/ containing:
#!/bin/sh
flatpak run org.mozilla.firefox -- "$@"Then, dim, NerdFont (symbols only), and hyprpicker must be installed manually.
Run ./init.sh. Assuming a clean install this should place config files and
scripts where they go. You should log out and log back in to be in zsh.
You may now run sway or setup a login screen like greetd with tuigreet.

You can install
xdg-user-dirsand runxdg-user-dirs-update, creating the Downloads, Pictures, etc. folders for you. -
I noticed missing font problems in Firefox after a Fedora Minimal install, installing these additonal packages helped:
adobe-source-sans-pro-fonts gnu-free-sans-fonts google-noto-sans* unifont-fonts -
To make printing life easier, you may install
cupsandsystem-config-printerto graphically manage them. Additional drivers are available such asgutenprint-cupsfor e.g. Canon printers, see Printer drivers -
For cursor theme to apply to all apps even in Flatpak, copy it from
/usr/shareto~/.icons/defaultand allow all flatpaks to see that as:roe.g.:cp -r /usr/share/icons/breeze_cursors ~/.icons/default -
You can symlink
footasxdg-terminal-execso that glib apps (e.g. Thunar) open it when needing a terminal:sudo ln -s /bin/foot /bin/xdg-terminal-exec

Wallpapers are put in
