Note: the location of Librewolf config is unclear. It was in ~/.librewolf for me, but this breaks functionality with the sandbox.

Note2: poorly you need root to open the waydroid folder. This way it works okay, but it only works on KDE, maybe there is a GNOME variant too. Maybe there also is a better way, if I find the time I can look for it.

For sure you can link waydroid folders with system folders, so you dont really need to access that folder.

boredsquirrel · 2023-01-30T14:02:03Z

what folder should be use for that? a direct "tools" folder? I find it immensly useful to have, especially if you give icons to the folders. This will be Filemanager-specific though I guess.

I would just create all and then let users delete them again. Should be no problem, but if we have a good copy-paste solution we could also do it like that.

autoupdates

Link useful folders:

Flatpak app folder

firefox folder ~/.mozilla/firefox/

maybe Brave config folder ~/.var/app/com.brave.Browser/config/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/

Libreoffice config folder ~/.var/app/org.libreoffice.LibreOffice/config/libreoffice

Autostart folder ~/.config/autostart

add .hidden file to $HOME

autoupdate Arkenfox user.js

i'm not sure what's the monero for, since it does not seem needed by the general user population, as well as arkenfox, most of the user in general population simply just use the rpm firefox without any tweaks or the flatpak firefox. I also don't know what is the autostart folder for as well as the hidden files

boredsquirrel · 2023-02-02T13:04:38Z

yes it is a bit bloated but I just included everything. Monero is removed, not needed. Arkenfox is more secure, it will be optional and during the creation generates a new profile, so even if you choose yes, you can just keep it as a second profile.

Autostart and other hidden files are useful imo, because you dont always have to Ctrl+H and search for the actually useful folders. I tried to focus on user-facing folders like Autostart, that are useful and allow user input.

yeah although what does the autostart and hidden files are for?

iaacornus · 2023-02-02T13:26:21Z

You can cleanup old deployments using these commands:
sudo ostree admin pin -u <index starting from 0>
sudo rpm-ostree cleanup remove -r

I usually pin the latest with sudo ostree admin pin 0 and clean the rest of my system with rpm-ostree cleanup -bmpr, followed by sudo ostree admin cleanup -v.

this may be automated and adapted to always keep the last backup, but for me I had 5 versions piling up.

At least I would add it to the "Tools" folder as a small script to run.
printf """#!/bin/bash
sudo ostree admin pin -u 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
sudo rpm-ostree cleanup remove -r
""" > ~/Tools/Scripts/OSTree-remove-old-deployments.sh

chmod +x ~/Tools/Scripts/OSTree-remove-old-deployments.sh
A way to determine the number of old deployments may be needed, if it stops when the number is too high. I tried counting "fedora:fedora" in the rpm-ostree status output with rpm-ostree status | tr -cd 'fedora:fedora' | wc -c but it doesnt work.

Keeping more than 1 backup is a huge usability problem though.

The grub issue showing everything as duplicates will be fixed in the future.

also, sudo is not needed by rpm-ostree.

boredsquirrel · 2023-02-02T13:30:51Z

The autostart folder can hold .desktop icons and scripts. KDE has a GUI for that, GNOME too? I had an incident where still something I removed through GUI was there.

You cant just rename files (with a dot to be hidden), and a lot of logs are not really ment to be always seen, some others are.

I just tried what could be useful, sometimes its way more efficient than doing it in the GUI.

iaacornus · 2023-02-02T13:34:40Z

crazy sudo is not needed!

yes the permission handling is done in polkit (discussion from here coreos/rpm-ostree#745)

Okay these commands seem better. the first removes the old deployments from the list and the second removes the files?

Should that be automated as an autostart script? Or would that be too invasive?

i don't think it's a good idea to make it a startup script, since for example in my case, i usually keep some version for backup purposes where i can reboot later, also rpm-ostree automatically removes other image layer, so we don't need to run a cleanup everytime.

It autostarts apps or scripts on ~~system boot~~ login. For me its:

nextcloud
cryptomator
a Libreoffice table for my timetable
a script setting my mic volume because its always too high
a .desktop to enable journalctl logs in a Konsole window
SyncThingy
a script removing old backup files

Oh forgot to answer. No autostart is not personal.

It is useful to have the folder there, because through KDE GUI you cant remove some things sometimes. Lots of things profit from autostarting, like Syncthing or Nextcloud, maybe your mail or chat client. You want them there and this is just to make manual configs easier.

The .var folders are for flatpak configs. Dealing with Firefox requires to know where that is, and flatpaks are complicated.

the .config can be removed, but its better than hiding-unhiding your things in /home all the time imo.

the appmenu actually looks understandable, so you could customized it there, and restore it from a previous version. So this is also useful for backup purposes. For example you backup all your data but dont have the apps installed. This menu will look weird then or even reset. After installing all the apps, you need to paste it there again.

discover settings are really easy to disable/enable Fedora Flatpaks and other stuff.

all the other folders are all selected for files that are readable and may be useful.

cryptomator-decrypted is very personal, but I dont know a (not overcomplicated like the json file for applications) way to select what folders to link. For example you will probably not need Firefox Flatpak, RPM and Brave folders, but you can just delete them there, thats what the message in the folders says.

the autostart autostarter is not needed on Silverblue and Kinoite.

boredsquirrel · 2023-02-15T00:26:17Z

edited list of linked folders, focussing also on embracing users to create dolphin service menus more easily.

I like it very much now, it has all nessecary folders integrated and even a big list of useful advanced folders. we can make this optional of course, but I think its really neat.

boredsquirrel · 2023-02-19T17:38:34Z

Found out how to add new entries ("templates") to the "create new..." menu in Dolphin,
would be really nice to add them seperately when installing Libreoffice, Krita, Inkscape, Gimp, KDEnlive e.g. as they dont have their own things.

They are just desktop files placed in ~/.local/share/templates, but they link to specific dirs so idk if they work directly

gmm96/KDE-5-Template-Manager#15

I got a lot working now, perfect addition to Flatpak Libreoffice (most common example) or any other template you use often (create a .desktop preset file for anything)

Emojis

Some emojis where licensed, here is a freely accessable one

There is a tool to automatically download the latest Github release of something. We would need the Linux tar.gz, for the current version the command could be:

AppleEmojis (licensed)

wget https://github.com/samuelngs/apple-emoji-linux/releases/latest/download/AppleColorEmoji.ttf -P ~/.local/share/fonts
# update font cache
fc-cache -f -v

Twemoji

wget https://github.com/13rac1/twemoji-color-font/releases/download/v14.0.2/TwitterColorEmoji-SVGinOT-Linux-14.0.2.tar.gz -P ~/.local/share/fonts
# unpack and delete archive
tar -xfv ~/.local/share/fonts/TwitterColorEmoji-SVGinOT-Linux-14.0.2.tar.gz
rm ~/.local/share/fonts/TwitterColorEmoji-SVGinOT-Linux-14.0.2.tar.gz
# update font cache
fc-cache -f -v

this doesnt work for the system though, only for the apps. Pushing it to the system folder requires sudo, and I would prefer that.

Apple systemwide (licensed)

sudo wget https://github.com/samuelngs/apple-emoji-linux/releases/latest/download/AppleColorEmoji.ttf -P /usr/local/share/fonts/
# update font cache
sudo fc-cache -f -v

Twemoji systemwide

wget https://github.com/13rac1/twemoji-color-font/releases/download/v14.0.2/TwitterColorEmoji-SVGinOT-Linux-14.0.2.tar.gz
# unpack and delete archive
sudo tar -xfv TwitterColorEmoji-SVGinOT-Linux-14.0.2.tar.gz --directory /usr/local/share/fonts/
rm TwitterColorEmoji-SVGinOT-Linux-14.0.2.tar.gz
# update font cache
sudo fc-cache -f -v

Notes

Dont know if updating system font cache requires sudo.

downloading to home dir and unpacking to system dir requires less system modification, so I chose that.

Problems

Still when trying both system wide, it doesnt change copied and shown emojis from the clipboard. I guess the reason is, that there already are "google noto sans color emojis", which are displayed as white for me though. Removing them is not possible, because the system is only readable.

Deactivating the font through the KDE settings results in an error, that is not outputted when launching "systemsettings" from the Terminal.

sudo rm -f /usr/share/fonts/google-noto-emoji/NotoColorEmoji.ttf

would be the command to get rid of the Google emojis. But this needs to be somehow packed into an rpm-ostree override, dont know how this would currently be possible.

I move and delete Firefox stuff A LOT. Editing the UserChrome.css or the user.js, backing up the content to an external drive e.g. its useful, just disussable if we want the efford to make it manual and choose only one browser folder instead of (Firefox, Firefox Flatpak, Librewolf, Brave, Tor).

We have to see, this script is for regular users, but you dont have to click on a folder just because its there lol.

it just adds a single "Tools" folder to the home dir. In this folder there

links to flatpak content (there are dozens use cases, adding Libreoffice Addons, backing up FF, changing configs, removing leftover flatpak folders)
opening the Cryptomator mounted unencrypted content
viewing .autostart entries
a selected set of KDE configs that are editable and easy to read. Really only files meant to be looked at and configured, again you are not forced to use them and its all userspace
Waydroid folders, you need a root file manager atm, maybe I add a .desktop file opening dolphin as root with that folder
hidden dolphin features: inside KDE, templates, servicemenus, servicemenu download. Currently this is a complete mess with bad documentation and this makes it easy to see and use them.
appstarters: you can manually copy-paste them to GUI-fy commands. Really useful to make your workflows better. Example: I have a Captive-portal-Firefox-Appstarter I open when I am in public wifis, it deativates my VPN, opens a firefox profile with a http-only site where I log in and activates my vpn again when closing FF. All through GUI!

Advanced folders:

lots more, just nice to have. There may be even more useful files and folders to find and they are totally opt-in, but really nice to know:
DNF repos
fail2ban config
firmware updater config
Font config
network manager config
ostree config
pam
pulseaudio
samba
selinux
ssh
systemd
upower
usrlocal/bin
xdg
var/lib
bluetooth
cups
dnsmasq
fstab
geoclue
mimetypes
rpm-ostreed
rsync
tlp
userdirs
whois

very useful, and the advantage is efficiency, you dont have to look through lots of dirs you shouldnt even edit.

yep, the two conflicts with each other, so one should be removed, i will make an option for user which one to keep, and the one that will be kept will be optimized

boredsquirrel · 2023-04-04T15:08:37Z

I have a new laptop where tlp kills usb and probably HDMI too. But power-profiles also doesnt seem to work, really weird, AMD and all.

RyzenAdj also doesnt work on OSTree systems it seems, as this literally modifies the kernel or something.

So tlp or power-profiles has to be optional. I would preinstall tlp anyways as it doesnt hurt, but well.

#TLP:

sudo systemctl disable --now power-profiles-daemon
sudo systemctl mask power-profiles-daemon
sudo systemctl unmask tlp
sudo systemctl enable --now tlp
sudo nano /etc/tlp.d/00-Template.conf

# Power-profiles

sudo systemctl disable --now tlp
sudo systemctl mask tlp
sudo systemctl unmask power-profiles-daemon
sudo systemctl enable --now power-profiles-daemon

or something like that. I would add a custom preset file for tlp to that conf, its empty currently but docs are mentioned in the file, there is a wikipage.
