🚀 Fedora + KDE Plasma — Comprehensive Post-Install Script

A powerful, fully automated configuration script dedicated to Fedora with the KDE Plasma desktop environment. It automates system optimization, graphics driver configuration, essential software installation, and full visual personalization (dot-files, icons, wallpapers).

✨ Main Features

🛠️ 1. Optimization & System

• DNF5 Tuning: Dramatically speeds up package downloads by configuring max_parallel_downloads=10, retries=10, fastestmirror, and increased timeout limits.
• Lock Management: Intelligently waits for RPM database locks to be released and forcefully clears blocking processes (e.g. Discover, PackageKit, DNF).
• System Cleanup: Automatically removes unnecessary software (including Konqueror, KMail, Akonadi, Nano, Plasma Vault) and optimizes log size (journalctl --vacuum-time=2d).
• Fast Boot: Sets GRUB timeout to 0 seconds and automatically regenerates the configuration.

📦 2. Repositories & Software

• Extra Repositories: Automatic setup of RPM Fusion (Free/Non-free), repositories for Google Chrome, Brave Browser, and COPR (faugus-launcher).
• Rich Toolset: Installs developer tools (@development-tools), decompressors (7zip, unrar), multimedia players and editors (GIMP, Kdenlive, Audacity, Mixxx), as well as Discord, Telegram, and qBittorrent.
• Virtualization: Full KVM/QEMU environment setup (virt-manager, libvirtd) with automatic Firewalld zone configuration.

🎮 3. GPU Detection & 32-bit Architecture

The script automatically analyzes hardware via lspci and installs dedicated 32-bit libraries (essential for Steam/Wine/Proton) and configures kernel modules via Dracut:

• 🟢 NVIDIA: Forces driver loading in Dracut + 32-bit CUDA and X11 libraries.
• 🔴 AMD/Radeon: Optimized for amdgpu + 32-bit Mesa and Vulkan drivers.
• 🔵 Intel: Configures the i915 kernel module + 32-bit Mesa drivers.

🐚 4. Modern Terminal (ZSH)

• Automatically changes the default user shell from Bash to Zsh.
• Installs and silently deploys the Oh My Zsh framework.
• Configures and clones the ultra-fast, readable Powerlevel10k theme.
• Adds automatic system stats and logo display on every terminal launch via Fastfetch.

🎨 5. Desktop Environment & User Paths

• Safely installs configuration files (.config, .local, .icons) into a dormant Plasma session (prevents the system from overwriting changes).
• Dynamically replaces old user paths (placeholder bartek) with the currently logged-in profile name in text files, JSON, INI, and CONF configurations.
• Replaces the default Breeze splash screen with a custom one.
• Automatically deploys system wallpapers in Full HD, 2K, and 5K resolutions including dark variants.
• Sets a personalized user avatar from the piwo.png file.
• Configures Cloudflare fast DNS servers (1.1.1.1) for the active network connection.

📂 Required Repository Structure

For the install.sh script to work correctly and find all required dependencies, maintain the following file structure in your project folder before pushing to GitHub:

├── install.sh             # Main configuration script
├── piwo.png               # System user avatar (KDE / AccountsService)
├── 1920x1080.png          # System wallpaper (Full HD)
├── 2560x1440.png          # System wallpaper (2K)
├── 5120x2880.png          # System wallpaper (5K / 4K)
├── .update.sh             # Optional update script copied to the home directory ~
├── .config/               # Your configuration files (shortcuts, panel settings, widgets)
├── .local/                # Local app data and user configurations
├── .icons/                # Custom system icon packs or cursors
├── bleachbit/             # Pre-configured BleachBit system cleanup settings

🚀 How to Run

1. Clone your repository

git clone https://github.com/bartko4321/fedora-config-kde.git

2. Enter the downloaded folder

cd fedora-config-kde

3. Make the script executable

chmod +x install.sh

4. Run the script as a regular user

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Do NOT run the script directly with sudo ./install.sh or from the root account. The script is smart — it will elevate privileges via sudo only when needed, and this ensures it correctly reads the paths to your home directory /home/.

./install.sh

Once all operations are complete and temporary privileges are cleaned up, the system will display a success message and automatically restart after 3 seconds to properly initialize kernel modules and load the new environment.

⚠️ Security & Best Practices

1. Data privacy (.config / .local): Before packing and pushing your configuration folders to a public GitHub repository, carefully check that they don't contain sensitive files (e.g. Discord tokens, browser sessions, API keys, SSH configs, or saved passwords). If you want to exclude something, create a .gitignore file.
2. Fresh installation: This script is optimized to run on a fresh Fedora KDE Spin installation. Running it on a system you've been using for months will overwrite your current configuration files in /home/.
