Set the correct keyboard for first SDDM start and LUKS decryption prompt Many Fedora Silverblue images use the en_US keyboard layout by default for the disk decryption prompt (LUKS) and the login screen (SDDM). This may not match your keyboard, so we’ll change it to another layout. Find your desired keymap: localectl list-keymaps| grep CH de_CH-latin1 fr_CH fr_CH-latin1 mac-de_CH mac-fr_CH-latin1 Set your keymap (replace fr_CH with your desired keymap): sudo localectl set-keymap fr_CH Verify the changes in /etc/vconsole.conf cat /etc/vconsole.conf  ✔ # Written by systemd-localed(8) or systemd-firstboot(1), read by systemd-localed # and systemd-vconsole-setup(8).

In my case, I didn’t like the default wallpaper, but this really comes down to personal preference. ...

I wrote this guide since I installed a Fedora immutable desktop spin (Bazzite) on my desktop and decided to set it up for development as well. Since toolbox and Podman are already installed out of the box, I thought it would be interesting to go all the way in and develop using VSCode attached to a Podman devcontainer created by toolbox. This unfortunately does not work perfectly out of the box, and I intend to keep this guide up-to-date with all the changes I had to perform in order to get my dev environment up and running! ...
