dwm-titus v0.7.1

on GitHub

A Fedora 44 X11 desktop update with more reliable installation, stable Settings loading, and universal Cloudflare download links.

Highlights

• Set up Flatpak and verify the official Flathub remote before installing Flatpak apps. Existing offline system installs reuse their verified system remote (#332).
• Use a growing XFS root filesystem with /home as an ordinary directory, while retaining required boot partitions and interactive storage review (#330).
• Keep Settings on a stable loading surface until initial provider reads finish; preserve populated controls, drafts and scrolling during later refreshes (#315).
• Improve desktop updates with confirmation, progress, recovery and support for replacing approved installed system files.
• Simplify Appearance and desktop font scaling, improve Picom recovery, and make floating-window toggles visibly shrink tiled windows.
• Include Papirus icons and the media/application defaults in both Fedora image variants. Papirus was already included in the Kickstarts and is verified in these images.

Cloudflare downloads

These universal URLs serve the current builds and may be updated after this release. The build manifest records the current version, sizes and hashes; the build notes record qualification limits. Always download a fresh checksum file. Restart a partial download if the build changes.

Save the ISO and checksum file together, then run:

sha256sum --ignore-missing -c SHA256SUMS

The attached dwm-titus-0.7.1-ISO-SHA256SUMS preserves the hashes of the 0.7.1 images published with this release. The attached dwm-titus-0.7.1.tar.gz is the portable desktop bundle, not an offline operating-system installer; use its adjacent dwm-titus-0.7.1-SHA256SUMS to verify it. Fedora dependencies are still required.

Installation and updates

Follow the Fedora installation guide. The offline ISOs include packages and require no installation-time network connection. Anaconda may initially select every attached disk: review storage and deselect every disk that must remain untouched before confirming installation.

For an existing source installation, back up configuration and resolve local changes first, then select this release:

git fetch origin tag v0.7.1
git switch --detach v0.7.1
./install.sh --non-interactive --yes --profile recommended
./scripts/dev-sync-install.sh

Log out and back in to activate the updated session. From the release checkout, verify with ./scripts/dev-sync-install.sh --check and dwm-diagnostics.

Validation and limitations

• Fedora 44 x86_64: the full managed suite passed, with affected Settings models, configured QML lint and nested X11 runtime revalidated after the final readiness fixes. Closed Settings measured 0.100% CPU; native desktop-update UI passed 59 assertions. The release archive passed reproducibility and content checks.
• Both final factory captures passed dependency, identity, PackageKit security-floor and sanitization checks. Both ISO media checks passed. Complete public downloads matched SHA-256, and byte-range requests passed.
• Standard offline BIOS and UEFI installs passed on a storage-identical candidate before the final Settings-only follow-up. Both reached LightDM and dwm/Quickshell, with /home sharing root and an unselected witness disk unchanged. These tests do not claim byte-for-byte first-boot qualification of the final ISOs.
• NVIDIA offline first boot, physical NVIDIA acceleration, Secure Boot and physical peripherals remain untested for these builds. Dedicated images retain their existing SELinux-disabled policy; existing-system installs preserve host policy.
• The ISOs were built from f07120b435bb44f76f885c1cd10b611b82c53757, whose complete tree matches merged source cdf1de3aece841e373449bed6081379002f8ad7f. The release tag additionally contains universal-link documentation and changelog bookkeeping; runtime and installer code are unchanged.
