Research direction

Open the Terra docs at the “Bazzite and Aurora” section and compare it with the “Fedora Atomic and Derivatives” steps described in the issue. Add a verification step and a pointer to the repository-file and terra-release instructions when Terra is absent, then confirm the rendered documentation accurately reflects the suggested recovery path.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Hi! Quick docs improvement request based on a fresh Bazzite install (GNOME/Wayland, Fedora 43 base).

The Terra docs at https://developer.fyralabs.com/terra/installing#bazzite-and-aurora state:

Bazzite and Aurora come with Terra out of the box, simply rpm-ostree away!

but on my system the Terra repo was not enabled initially. rpm-ostree install espanso-wayland failed with “Packages not found”, and the enabled rpm-md repos listed were only fedora, updates, etc.

Running the “Fedora Atomic and Derivatives” steps from the Terra docs fixed it immediately:

curl -fsSL https://github.com/terrapkg/subatomic-repos/raw/main/terra.repo | pkexec tee /etc/yum.repos.d/terra.repo
sudo rpm-ostree install terra-release

After that, I could find and install the package I was looking for.

Suggestion:

In the “Bazzite and Aurora” section, add a one-line verification step (e.g., confirm terra appears in rpm-ostree enabled repos / confirm rpm-ostree search terra-release returns results), and if not present, point users to the Atomic repo-file + terra-release instructions.

This would prevent a lot of confusion for new users unfamiliar with the way this works, because the current text reads as unconditional!

Thanks!
