F04118F,

Looks great! I’ve been using a similar setup (Sway + Waybar + neovim) but on Arch.

I can live without animations but the lack of a blur option for transparent windows has me ogling SwayFX. I love my terminal semi-transparent. I use kitty for a terminal and have been playing with the extremely responsive and minimal tofi. Check it out, seems to match your vibe.

Oh one final note, if anyone can help me with the spacing between the CPU nerd font icon and the percentage that’d be great, one space is too close, two spaces is too far.

F04118F,

Waybar is styled using CSS. I just googled CSS character spacing and found this: developer.mozilla.org/en-US/…/letter-spacing

Let me know if you need any more specific pointers.

NoisyFlake,

Quick question about the immutability: I understand that you do most of your work inside Toolbox, but how do you get stuff like Waybar? Is it also available as a Flatpak? And what do you do if you want to install something that isn’t available as a Flatpak, but won’t make sense inside a Toolbox as it’s e.g. for system customization?

Fedora Sericea contains Waybar by default, as for installing other things you’d want on a system level (not in a container) you use rpm-ostree

Guenther_Amanita,

You can build your own image easily using uBlue.
You change the system from top to bottom, not bottom to bottom like on traditional distros. Read my post if you want to know more: feddit.de/post/8234416

andnekon,

Very nice!

What do you mean by immutable though?

Steamymoomilk,

Its fedora silverblue, its a imutable file system

The fedora Silverblue docs explain it decently: docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-silverblue/

I also plan on writing a blog post with my findings after I’ve used the OS for a little while.

sway is bae

Absolutely, it’s as close to perfection as I can imagine for a window manager. Can’t really think of anything I’d add or change.

How did you get swayfx on sericea?

that was one of my only blockers for switching.

If you read the readme of my dotfiles you can see the credits section has a link to a Reddit thread where I asked for delp with this topic.

Reminder that Fedora Sericea was renamed to Fedora Sway Atomic

fedoraproject.org/atomic-desktops/sway/

Huh I saw they were changing it but when I was configuring this system it was still labeled as Sericea on their site, plus I like the name too much to change it.

SuperSynthia,

Very clean!
