The website for Federated CoreDesktop, the scripts that turn a fresh Arch Linux + GNOME install into a tiling, keyboard-first desktop. Its look follows the Federated Computer site (hammerfest): a navy top bar and hero, bands that alternate white and light grey, Inter headlines and rounded cards, recolored here with a magenta accent and a cyan primary button.

Requirements

Hugo, v0.146 or newer (tested on v0.168.0 extended).

Running it locally

hugo server

Then open http://localhost:1313/.

Building for production

hugo --minify

Output goes to public/ (ignored by git). Links are relative, so the build also works from any subfolder or straight from disk.

How pages are built

Every page's content lives in its front matter as a sections: list. Each section has a type plus the fields that type needs, and layouts/partials/render-sections.html hands it to the matching partial in layouts/partials/sections/. To change copy, edit content/*.md; to change how a section type looks, edit its partial.

Type	Fields
`hero`	`eyebrow`, `title`, `subhead`, `ctas`, `compact`. On the right: `log` (a typed-out terminal; lines take `tag`, `text`, `think`, `done`; `logTitle` sets the title bar), otherwise the three-pane tiling visual (`tiles` relabels the panes; `visual: false` drops it). `video` (a path without extension, e.g. `/video/ultrawide-desktop`, with `.webm`, `.mp4` and a `.jpg` poster in `static/`) instead runs a looping screen recording full width under the copy; `videoTitle` and `videoLabel` set its window bar and description
`text`	`kicker`, `headline`, `body` (Markdown, including fenced code), `ctas`. Without a headline, the body renders as a large statement; `em` is magenta
`command`	`kicker`, `headline`, `lede`, `command` (defaults to the install command), `prompt`, `note`
`features`	`items` of `label` + `body`
`cards`	`columns`, `items` of `label`, `title`, `body`, `link`, `linktext`
`steps`	`items` of `title` + `body`
`checklist`	`items` (Markdown strings)
`split`	`columns` of `title` + `items` (the first column is dark)
`stats`	`items` of `value` + `label` (numbers count up)
`table`	`headers`, `rows` (lists; the first cell labels the row)
`siblings`	The sibling directory, from `data/siblings.yaml` (see the comment at its top). `emptyText` and `emptyCtas` set what shows while it's empty
`catalog`	The software catalog: every page in `content/software/`, grouped by `params.softwareGroups`, with a filter box
`faq`	`items` of `q` + `a`
`callout`	`text`
`final-cta`	`headline`, `body`, `ctas` (the navy closing band)

Every type also takes kicker, headline, lede and id (an anchor; without one, it's made from the kicker or headline). ctas is a list of label, url and style (primary, ghost or text).

The software catalog

Each title CoreDesktop installs has a page in content/software/, rendered by layouts/software/single.html; content/software/_index.md is the Software page itself. A title's facts go in its front matter: category (one of the params.softwareGroups names in hugo.toml, which also sets the order of the groups), tagline, source (pacman, AUR, Flathub, installer, mise or extension), package, command, replaces, website, code (the source repository) and links. The body has three sections: What it is, Why it's here and On CoreDesktop. To add a title:

hugo new content software/<name>.md --kind software

Code blocks and command sections get a Copy button from the script in layouts/_default/baseof.html.

Where things live

hugo.toml — site settings (params.repoUrl, params.installCommand) and the menus
content/ — one file per page; content/software/ holds one per catalog title
data/siblings.yaml — the projects listed in the sibling directory
layouts/ — templates and section partials
static/css/style.css — the whole design system
static/video/ — the home page's screen recording (WebM, MP4 and poster)
static/images/coredesktop-logo.svg — the wordmark, drawn in the Federated lettering
