What does the `base` image include by default?
so, i'm considering making an image that uses the
niri window manager with all of my configurations and stuff.
i know using the sericea base would be an easy way to do it since thats based on sway and includes everything out of the box for a wayland window manager setup, but i'd prefer a way to not have any of the default applications/utilities installed (sway, mako etc) or for the ability to simply remove them without having to do anything else so i can use my own set of programs/utilities.
so, again, what does the base by default? i assume its minimal out of the box, but what exactly would be missing? would i need to install things like cups or any of the default fedora tools/packages that are configured for desktop, or is it just a better idea to use the sericea image and do it that way?10 Replies
Solution
base has most things you needI based off of it and install like 3 window managers and everything works just the same
interesting
you'll need to manually install a display manager
among other utilities like fuzzel, mako, etc
you don't need those exact ones just something for notifications and dmenu
what about sddm? last time i checked i was required to manually make the user on the booted system, or is that no longer an issue
yeah it's still needed
ah okay
once rechunk is added to bluebuild things should be better
but build times will increase
whatever makes things Better™
