Packages

RPM Fusion

RPM Fusion provides software that the Fedora Project or Red Hat doesn't want to ship. That software is provided as precompiled RPMs for all current Fedora versions and current Red Hat Enterprise Linux or clones versions.

sudo dnf install -y \
  "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"

DNF Config

Flatpak

Flatpak is a tool for managing applications and the runtimes they use. In the Flatpak model, applications can be built and distributed independently from the host system they are used on, and they are isolated from the host system ('sandboxed') to some degree, at runtime.

Add flathub remote:

flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

Install apps:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alexander-danilenko/ubuntu-environment/ubuntu-22.04/config.yml | yq -rc '.apps.flatpak[]' | xargs flatpak install -y flathub

⚠️ NOTE: yq python package is required

Fix cursors:

flatpak --user override --filesystem=/home/$USER/.icons/:ro 
flatpak --user override --filesystem=/home/$USER/.local/share/:ro

Drivers

nVidia

⚠️ NOTE: Install RPM Fusion first.

sudo dnf install kmod-nvidia

Terminal

ZSH

ZSH is a UNIX command interpreter (shell) usable as an interactive login shell and as a shell script command processor.

Install zsh:

sudo dnf install -y zsh

Set it as default for current user:

sudo dnf install -y util-linux-user && \
chsh -s $(which zsh) && \
sudo !!

ZSH Antigen

Antigen is a small set of functions that help you easily manage your shell (zsh) plugins, called bundles. The concept is pretty much the same as bundles in a typical vim+pathogen setup. Antigen is to zsh, what Vundle is to vim.

Install and apply config:

mkdir -p $HOME/.antigen/ && \
curl -L# -o $HOME/.antigen/antigen.zsh git.io/antigen --create-dirs  && \
curl -L# -o $HOME/.profile https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alexander-danilenko/dotfiles/main/.profile && \
curl -L# -o $HOME/.zshrc https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alexander-danilenko/dotfiles/main/.zshrc

Extend inotify

https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/articles/IDEA-A-2/Inotify-Watches-Limit

Inotify requires a "watch handle" to be set for each directory in the project. Unfortunately, the default limit of watch handles may not be enough for reasonably sized projects, and reaching the limit will force IntelliJ platform to fall back to recursive scans of directory trees.

To prevent this situation it is recommended to increase the watches limit (to, say, 512K)

grep '^fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288' /etc/sysctl.conf || \
echo  'fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288' | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf && sudo sysctl -p

Development

Python

Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language that combines remarkable power with very clear syntax.

Install Python and its package manager

sudo dnf install python3 python3-pip

Install yq for parsing yml files format.

pip install yq

Install packages:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alexander-danilenko/ubuntu-environment/ubuntu-20.04/config.yml | yq -rc '.python3.pip3_global_packages[]' | xargs pip install

Node.JS

NVM allows you to quickly install and use different versions of node via the command line.

Install NVM:

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.37.0/install.sh | bash

Install LTS and set as default:

nvm install --lts && nvm alias default "lts/*"

Install global packages:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alexander-danilenko/ubuntu-environment/ubuntu-20.04/config.yml | yq '.node.npm_global_packages[]' -cr | xargs npm install --global

⚠️ NOTE: yq python package is required

Microsoft Fonts

When it comes to typography, Microsoft True Type fonts have entirely dominated the market. Although we have more than a thousand fonts available, the extensive use of the Windows operating system has altogether led to the increase in popularity of Microsoft True Type fonts.

Some of them like the “Times New Roman (Bold, Italic, Bold Italic)” are recommended in most documents and many writing formats like APA, MLA, Harvard, etc. and regarded as standard fonts. Microsoft True Type fonts are also in most webpages, and you can find this declared in the style sheets.

Install Microsoft Fonts to the system:

sudo rpm -i https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/mscorefonts2/rpms/msttcore-fonts-installer-2.6-1.noarch.rpm

Google Fonts

List fonts available to install:

curl https://google-webfonts-helper.herokuapp.com/api/fonts | jq '.[].id' -cr | sort

Install needed fonts:

FONTS_DIR="$HOME/.fonts"
FONTS=(
  jetbrains-mono
  open-sans
  roboto
  roboto-mono
  roboto-slab
  ubuntu
  ubuntu-mono
) && \
mkdir -p $FONTS_DIR && \ 
for FONT in ${FONTS[@]}; do
  DOWNLOAD_URL="https://google-webfonts-helper.herokuapp.com/api/fonts/${FONT}?download=zip&formats=ttf"
  FILE_PATH="/tmp/$FONT-ttf.zip"
  curl "$DOWNLOAD_URL" -o "$FILE_PATH"
  unzip -o $FILE_PATH -d $FONTS_DIR
done

Update fonts cache (may take a while): sudo fc-cache -f -v

Add to /etc/fstab:

192.168.50.123:/volume1/homes   /mnt/NAS/Homes   nfs defaults 0 0
192.168.50.123:/volume1/Music   /mnt/NAS/Music   nfs defaults 0 0

SWAP

Set swap to x2:

confFile="/usr/lib/systemd/zram-generator.conf" && \
grep '^max-zram-size = none$' $confFile || echo "max-zram-size = none" | sudo tee -a $confFile && \
grep '^zram-fraction' $confFile || echo "zram-fraction = 2" | sudo tee -a $confFile
