CapivaraOS Snout — the pure GNOME of the family

The GNOME spin of CapivaraOS, built on top of Fedora 44's official GNOME Workstation environment. No dock, no global menu, no third-party themes — just GNOME as it is, with CapivaraOS's visual identity and Brazilian Portuguese ready out of the box.

What to expect from CapivaraOS Snout

GNOME the way Fedora ships it — with Brazilian flair.

🟢

Fedora 44 base

Built with the official Fedora tooling (kickstart, lorax and Anaconda), on top of the @^workstation-product-environment group — the same one used by the official Fedora Workstation ISO.

🖥️

GNOME with no layout customization

No dock, no global menu, no third-party window themes. Snout runs stock GNOME Shell — CapivaraOS's visual identity shows up in the wallpapers, Plymouth boot theme, GDM login screen, and the "About" logo.

🇧🇷

Brazilian Portuguese by default

Language, ABNT2 keyboard layout and localization packages already configured, no extra setup after install.

📦

Essential apps included

LibreOffice, Firefox, Thunderbird and the main GNOME apps come pre-installed, ready for everyday use.

💿

Anaconda installer

Guided installation using Anaconda, the same robust installer used by Fedora.

🔓

Free-software-first stance

Without RPM Fusion enabled by default, keeping the official Fedora repositories as the base — the same stance as the rest of the family.
