# Fedora Remix
## Purpose
This project is a [Fedora Remix][01] and aims to be a complete system for personal computing with localization support.
You can [download a live image][02] and try the software, and then install it in your PC if you want.
You can also customize the image starting from available scripts.
Main goals of this remix are:
* Flatpak apps usage
* adding common extra-repos
* supporting external devices (like printers and scanners)
## How to build the LiveCD (on Fedora 43 or latest)
[See a detailed description][03] about how to build a live media using kiwi-ng.
> [!NOTE]
>
> If `selinux` is on, [turn it off](https://osinside.github.io/kiwi/troubleshooting/security.html) during the build process.
### Prepare the working directories
Clone the project into your `` to get sources:
```shell
$ git clone https://github.com/mbugni/fedora-remix.git /
```
Choose or create a `` folder where to put results.
### Prepare the build environment
Install Podman:
```shell
$ sudo dnf --assumeyes install podman podman-compose
```
### Build the image
Choose a variant (eg: workstation with localization support) that corresponds to a profile (eg: `Workstation-l10n`).
Available profiles/variants are:
* `Console` (command line only, mainly for testing)
* `Desktop` (minimal KDE environment with basic tools)
* `Workstation` (KDE environment with more features like printing and scanning support)
For each variant you can append `-l10n` to get italian localization (eg: `Desktop-l10n`).
Build the .iso image by running the `podman-compose` command from the project root directory:
```shell
$ sudo podman-compose run --rm --env KIWI_PROFILE= \
--env KIWI_TARGET_DIR= system-build
```
The build can take a while (30 minutes or more), it depends on your machine performances.
Environment arguments are optional, available variables are:
| Variable | Description | Default value |
|:---------------:|:-----------------------:|:------------------:|
| KIWI_PROFILE | Image variant | `Workstation-l10n` |
| KIWI_TARGET_DIR | Build target directory | `.` |
## Transferring the image to a bootable media
You can use a tool like [Ventoy][07] to build multiboot USB devices, or simply transfer the image to a single
USB stick using the `dd` command:
```shell
$ sudo dd if=//Fedora-Remix.x86_64-.iso of=/dev/
```
## ![Bandiera italiana][04] Per gli utenti italiani
Questo è un [Remix di Fedora][01] per computer ad uso personale con il supporto in italiano. Nell'[immagine .iso][02] che si ottiene sono già installati i pacchetti e le configurazioni per il funzionamento in italiano del sistema (come l'ambiente grafico, i repo extra etc).
Il remix ha come obiettivi principali:
* utilizzo delle applicazioni Flatpak
* aggiunta dei repository comuni
* supporto per dispositivi esterni (come stampanti e scanner)
