02. Installation & Deployment

Before you installThis changes your desktop configuration and installs packages. Run it as your normal user, never with sudo: it asks for sudo only where a step needs it (listed below).The guided installer shows its plan first. Files it would replace are kept unless you approve. Everything it copies, clones or appends to in your home folder is backed up and verified first, and --rollback restores it. Packages, sudo changes and the other commands listed under Impact are not undone.

IntegrityEach release from main builds the installers in GitHub Actions and signs them with a GitHub build attestation. Verify your download against the repository, not this website (Option B, step 2). If it does not verify, don't run it.

ImpactPackages: colloid-gtk-theme-git (some from the Arch AUR)

RecoveryGuided: backups in ~/.local/state/0xtsoa/backups/, undo with bash install.sh --rollback.Manual: the steps below only write in the download folder or run listed commands.

Option A: manual installAdvanced

Read the source at the reviewed commit, back up, then run each step yourself.

$git clone https://github.com/vinceliuice/Colloid-gtk-theme ~/0xtsoa-review/vinceliuice-colloid-gtk-theme# 1. clone to a review folder

$git -C ~/0xtsoa-review/vinceliuice-colloid-gtk-theme checkout --detach fe11342f37f124f1b29d44cf33e9a06053f4bba2# 2. the reviewed commit
