headline: "Good to know before you start."
|
||||
items:
|
||||
- q: "Is CoreDesktop a Linux distribution?"
|
||||
a: "Not yet. Today it's a set of scripts that runs on top of a standard Arch Linux and GNOME install. Arch does the heavy lifting; CoreDesktop adds the extensions, software and configuration."
|
||||
- q: "Do I need a Federated Computer account?"
|
||||
a: "No. Everything except the `configure` steps for your Core, its Tailscale network and backups works on its own. A lot of the software is chosen for work at Federated Computer, but you may find it useful too."
|
||||
- q: "What if the install fails halfway?"
|
||||
a: "Run the command again. It skips what's already done and picks up where it stopped."
|
||||
- q: "Does it work on ultrawide monitors?"
|
||||
a: "That's what it's best at. The tiling system adapts to any screen: pick a layout from the tiling icon in the top-right corner, or make your own."
|
||||
- q: "Can I add my own tools on top?"
|
||||
a: "Yes. A sibling project is any git repository with an optional `install.sh` and `update.sh`. Install it with `sibling`, and every `update` keeps it current."
