Step 1: Add copr repo

sudo curl -L -o /etc/yum.repos.d/lizardbyte-stable-fedora-42.repo https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/lizardbyte/stable/repo/fedora-42/lizardbyte-stable-fedora-42.repo

sudo systemctl reboot

Firewall

sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=47984/tcp
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=47989/tcp
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=47990/tcp
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=48010/tcp
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=47998-48000/udp

Autostart

Step 1: Add autostart script

# Create the necessary directory
mkdir -p ~/.config/autostart/

# Create the autostart desktop file using a heredoc
cat <<EOF > ~/.config/autostart/sunshine.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Sunshine
Comment=Start the Gamestreaming Server
Exec=/usr/bin/env systemctl start --u sunshine
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true
EOF

Step 2: Enable autologin for lightdm

AUTOLOGIN_USER=$(whoami) sudo sed -i -e "s/^\(#\s*\)?autologin-user=.*/autologin-user=$AUTOLOGIN_USER/" -e "s/^\(#\s*\)?autologin-session=.*/autologin-session=budgie-desktop/" /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

Step 4: Reboot

Uninstall

Option 1: Rollback (The Easiest and Safest Revert)

Because rpm-ostree install creates a new, separate "deployment" (a new OS image), the old one is saved and is your immediate rollback point.

• Perform the Rollback: This command will mark your previous system state (the one before you installed the COPR and Sunshine) as the default to boot into.

  sudo rpm-ostree rollback

• Reboot: You must reboot to switch to the previous, clean system image.

  systemctl reboot

  After rebooting, the package (Sunshine) and the COPR repository (lizardbyte/stable.repo) will be completely gone from your operating system, and your system will be exactly as it was before the initial install command.

Option 2: Targeted Uninstall

If you have other layered packages you want to keep and only want to remove Sunshine and the lizardbyte/stable COPR repository, you need to uninstall both the application and the repository file itself.

• Find the Exact Repository Package Name: Since you installed the COPR using a URL to a .repo file, you need to find the name of the installed repository package. COPRs often use a naming convention like copr-rpm-lizardbyte-stable. First, check your layered packages: rpm-ostree status

  Look under the LayeredPackages section for sunshine and the name of the COPR repo package (it will likely look like copr-rpm-lizardbyte-stable).

• Uninstall the Package and Repository: Use rpm-ostree uninstall for all layered packages you want to remove.

  sudo rpm-ostree uninstall sunshine copr-rpm-lizardbyte-stable

  (Note: Adjust the copr-rpm-lizardbyte-stable name if your rpm-ostree status output gave a different package name for the COPR repo file).

• Reboot: You must reboot to apply the removal of the layered packages.

  systemctl reboot
