hardened Fedora KDE; primary on Forgejo
Adds: - overlay/usr/local/sbin/veilor-installer — bash+whiptail TUI - overlay/etc/systemd/system/getty@tty1.service.d/veilor-installer.conf → replaces tty1 login with installer - ks: newt + parted + cryptsetup + lvm2 + btrfs-progs packages - ks: systemctl set-default multi-user.target (TTY1 lands first; user picks "Try live — desktop" from menu to isolate graphical.target) - ks: chmod +x veilor-installer in chroot %post Flow: 1. Boot ISO → TTY1 → ASCII banner + menu: 1) Install to disk 2) Try live — desktop 3) Try live — shell 4) Reboot 5) Power off 2. Install path: collects disk/hostname/LUKS/admin pw/locale via whiptail, generates /run/install/veilor-generated.ks, execs anaconda --kickstart= 3. Reboots into hardened install with full init_on_alloc/free cmdline Known limitations (v0.5.0-alpha): - Generated ks doesn't yet copy overlay/scripts into target (anaconda installs base Fedora, missing veilor branding/hardening). Fix in v0.5.1. - whiptail = ugly. v0.5.1 swaps to gum (Go TUI) for omarchy-tier UX. - No mid-install progress bar; anaconda runs unattended in same tty. |

veilor-os
Hardened minimal Fedora KDE remix. Black-on-black. Locked down by default.
veilor-os is a Fedora 43 KDE spin built for operators who want a clean, fast, opinionated desktop with serious hardening already in place. No prompts at install beyond the LUKS passphrase. Boot, set admin password, work.
Highlights
- Single-prompt install — only LUKS passphrase. No account wizard, no
initial-setup screen.
adminaccount is created automatically; password is set on first boot. - Hardened by default — SELinux enforcing, USBGuard, fail2ban, firewalld drop zone, kernel sysctl lockdown, NTS-authenticated NTP, DNS-over-TLS.
- 3-mode power management —
veilor-power save | mid | perf, with AC/battery auto-switching via udev. Backed by tuned profiles. - Fira Code system font — programming ligatures, monospace consistency across UI + terminal. (DuckSans planned for v0.3.)
- Pure-black KDE color scheme —
veilor-blacktheme system-wide. - LUKS2 + Secure Boot — argon2id, aes-xts, btrfs subvolumes, zram swap (no disk swap, no cold-boot leak).
- Reproducible build — kickstart + podman + livemedia-creator. ISO output is deterministic given pinned base.
