Do you like how I dance? I've got Zirconium pants!
Zirconium is an opinionated Fedora Bootc image that makes use of Niri and DMS to create a usable out of the box TWM experience.
Zirconium is built primarily for container-focused development and day-to-day usage, however gaming is still more than possible. For a fully gaming-focused experience, use Bazzite.
Note
Zirconium Jackrabbit, a gaming focused variant, currently doesn't have ISOs ready to use.
Those who wants to use it are encouraged to install Zirconium and rebase to Jackrabbit manually.
The best way to install Zirconium is to download our ISOs! Pick your flavor:
- x86_64
- ARM64
Alternatively, you can install Zirconium by doing a rebase from an existing Fedora Atomic install. We recommend Bluefin, but it doesn't really matter.
Once you have some flavour of Fedora Atomic installed, run this command:
sudo bootc switch ghcr.io/zirconium-dev/zirconium:latestIf you also have NVIDIA GPU (GTX 16xx or RTX series), run this command instead:
sudo bootc switch ghcr.io/zirconium-dev/zirconium-nvidia:latestOnce you have some flavour of Fedora Atomic installed, run this command:
sudo bootc switch ghcr.io/zirconium-dev/zirconium-jackrabbit:latestIf you also have NVIDIA GPU (GTX 16xx or RTX series), run this command instead:
sudo bootc switch ghcr.io/zirconium-dev/zirconium-jackrabbit-nvidia:latestCurrently the Nvidia kernel module and OGC kernel used in Jackrabbit are not being signed so there is no way of using Secure Boot on the Nvidia and Jackrabbit images. (related issue)
Yes! Put your Niri customizations in ~/.config/niri/local.kdl (for your user) or /etc/niri/local.kdl (for system-wide customizations).
We update our dotfiles in OS updates, which will overwrite the default ~/.config/niri/config.kdl file. If you edit it, it might get overwritten in a future update.
A weird wax baby made me.
