fedora-silverblue-i3-gnome-flashback

Simple automation to install i3 with GNOME-Flashback session in Fedora Silverblue. Since Fedora Silverblue does not allow a direct edition of the /usr directory, this tool creates an RPM package to deal with the creation of the necessary files.

i3 with GNOME-Flashback session allows us to use the i3 window manager but still use all GNOME backbone under the hood.

The RPM built here uses the files amazingly created and maintained by regolith-linux in https://github.com/regolith-linux/i3-gnome-flashback. Many thanks to them.

Usage

# Build RPM and install i3 gnome-flashback and i3-gnome-flashback
./install.sh

# Reboot your machine so that layered packages are applied
systemctl reboot

After reboot, in the login screen, change the session to GNOME Flashback (i3) instead of GNOME.
