The PurmaLinux Repository

PurmaLinux ships with its own RPM repository hosted at repo.purmalinux.com. It contains custom builds of NVIDIA, LM Studio, LocalSend, and a release package that configures everything automatically.

Adding the repo

sudo dnf install https://repo.purmalinux.com/fedora/42/x86_64/purma-release-1.0-1.fc42.noarch.rpm

That single package installs:

The .repo file for DNF
The GPG signing key at /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-purmalinux
All metadata needed to trust our packages

What’s in the repo

Package	What it is
`nvidia-driver`	Custom NVIDIA 595.58.03 build with gaming/Wayland fixes
`nvidia-driver-cuda`	CUDA libraries
`nvidia-driver-libs`	64-bit driver libraries
`nvidia-driver-libs-i686`	32-bit libraries for Wine / Proton
`nvidia-driver-wayland`	EGL Wayland, DXVK config, environment
`nvidia-driver-kmod-common`	Kernel module configuration
`nvidia-kmod`	DKMS kernel module source
`lmstudio`	LM Studio repackaged from the AppImage
`localsend`	LocalSend repackaged from the upstream tarball
`purma-release`	Repo config + GPG keys

Installing a package

sudo dnf install lmstudio nvidia-driver localsend

Why a custom repo?

Three reasons:

Real fixes for real bugs (the NVIDIA driver has workarounds for DayZ on DX12, Steam pressure-vessel version mismatch, VKD3D host-visible VRAM, etc.)
No more curl | sh for common apps (LM Studio, LocalSend)
Consistent GPG-signed packages that DNF treats like any other system package
