Check this out for the full note: Journey to HyDE and beyond

wallbash_720p.mp4

The installation script is designed for a regular Fedora 43 Linux install. It is tested extensively on both Fedora Workstation and Fedora KDE Plasma. While installing HyDE alongside another DE/WM should work, due to it being a heavily customized setup, it will conflict with your GTK/Qt theming, Shell, etc. and is at your own risk. Be especially careful when using GNOME, it WILL cause conflicts and delete settings. You can mostly get around these with startup scripts in that set settings on launch. You can avoid having your settings wiped by making a script that backups your settings at a certain state, then reloads them on GNOME launch. KDE Plasma will work mostly fine but receive themeing conflicts.

For NixOS support there is a separate project being maintained @ Hydenix

There is, of course, the main Arch repo as well @ HyDE Project

Caution

The script modifies your grub or systemd-boot config to enable NVIDIA DRM.

To install, execute the following commands:

sudo dnf install git @development-tools @c-development
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Prof-Shiba/Fedora-HyDE ~/Fedora-HyDE
cd ~/Fedora-HyDE/Scripts
./install.sh

Tip

You can also add any other apps you wish to install alongside HyDE to Scripts/pkg_user.lst and pass the file as a parameter to install it like so:

./install.sh pkg_user.lst

Important

Refer your list from Scripts/pkg_extra.lst or you can cp Scripts/pkg_extra.lst Scripts/pkg_user.lst if you wish to install all extra packages.

Please reboot after the install script completes and takes you to the SDDM or GDM login screen. For more details, please refer to the installation wiki.
