regarding the gpu drivers @trytomakeyouprivate , the foss drivers are already installed rpm -qa | grep -E "mesa|nouveau" so the program only should then install the proprietary if asked by the user

[boredsquirrel]

I guess this may result in conflicts, so you have to uninstall the foss drivers too. Are you okay with the idea to create a rpm-ostree install script with appending? I think this solution is pretty nice, as it installs all in one rush.

Actually at the moment I have problems installing ffmpegthumbs, because there already is libavcodec and libavutil installed, so the installation fails.

I am not sure what to use python for at the moment, do you want a GUI? because bash may be weird to use, but all we should need is

• if else loop
• work with input (dont know that yet)
• append stuff to a script
• sed in a script
• show gui windows as alert or window where you need to click okay (to reboot)
• set postinstallscript as startup script

all these things are linux native, wouldnt know how to do that in python tbh

[iaacornus]

well I'm not well versed with bash and its easier to handle exceptions in python. I havent written much of the functionality in the python yet, so if we need to go to bash we can.

[boredsquirrel]

discussion here?

[iaacornus]

yes, also about this

Automatic rpm-ostree and Flatpak updates through integration of this nice script

from what I know gnome software has an integration of automatic flatpak updates and rpm updates

[iaacornus]

• TIP: To list available dnf packages, you can enter a toolbox (toolbox create 1 && toolbox enter 1 && dnf list) or layer dnfdragora (sudo rpm-ostree install dnfdragora), as rpm-ostree doesnt support that currently

also for this one, rpm -qa lists the available packages in the system

[boredsquirrel]

okay then we can remove that, nice!

[iaacornus]

i have updated todo, and i have some questions about some points 9, 10.1, 12, and 10 about the installing of some packages, im not sure what are they for.

[iaacornus]

@trytomakeyouprivate i'm reading the script (script1.sh and 2.sh), i'm not sure if these does work, since as far as i know, you cant modify /usr in silverblue:

#sudo cp -v fonts/*.ttf fonts/*.TTF /usr/local/share/fonts/mscorefonts/

# Grub-Theme
echo "Installing a fancy GRUB bootloader theme"
wget https://github.com/vinceliuice/grub2-themes.git
unzip grub2-themes*.zip
rm grub2-themes*.zip
cd ~/grub2-themes-master/
sudo chmod +x install.sh
sudo sh install.sh -t vimix -b

[boredsquirrel]

The grub theme works. Poorly other things like lockscreen dont. Fonts dont, but only the folder for flatpaks is needed anyways. Am 9. Januar 2023 06:12:35 UTC schrieb James Aaron Erang ***@***.***>:

@trytomakeyouprivate, aren't some of the suggestions too much for a simple setup script, which aims to setup the base of the ostree system for improved out-of-box experience? since some suggestions are rather for poweruser rather than for those who simply want an out-of-box usable system, or they seem "todo" and arrives to me as invasive and excessive modification of the system rather than opt-in feature or suggested modification, for example:

1. the monero, autostart and arkenfox stuff in Make system easier #32 , since arkenfox or hardened firefox does not really seem needed by normal user, as for me, i simply use the rpm firefox from base image.
2. in Waydroid setup #22, waydroid does not really have use for basic users, i'm not even sure what it is for
3. then Autostart the program after initial reboot to complete the remaining tasks #24 and various stuff in suggestions to be included in recommedation list of repo/program #19, such as rstudio, installation of epel and other copr repos as well as other codecs which does not appear to be necessary
4. the use of testdisk repo in Testdisk COPR repo for new updates of testdisk #18 also seem to be unspecified

most of are excessive modifications, which i fail to see what are those for, for example #21 , #27 , #31, which again, does not appear to be necessary. Although perhaps i'm just overlooking something, but currently, it seems to be not really required for simple setup

I also do not know why do we need to leave scripts as mentioned in #23 for:

update Arkenfox
open keepass with stdin password from kwallet / gnome keychain
update uefi?

since arkenfox is not required by user, keepass and stdin password doesnot seem to have purpose for me, as well as uefi update which can be easily dealt with one command.

#31 really appears to be excessive modification, since the appearance seems to be more of user realm rather than thing that should be touched by scripts.

todo also mentioned high level customization such as mac randomization and automatic updates, lynis which is i'm not sure what for, tlp and clamtk which is not really required.

perhaps you can clarify these? since i really can't justify it myself, as i rarely see post about help regard these topics in either fedora forum, discord or subreddit, moreover, i don't even heard of them.
