Without having tried typst myself, I would still recommend learning LaTeX, if you’re ever looking to publish in a scientific journal; most journals accept submissions in either Word (which in my mind is a very painful tool to use, especially when it comes to typesetting and equations) or LaTeX. They then typically convert the input to some internal format, but are probably unlikely to add support for new formats.
If you only ever intend to write documents for your own purposes, use whichever format you like the best; I personally use Emacs Org-mode and LaTeX export.
Jesus fucking christ this is a hell of a project, Ill finish reading when I get home today.
Hats off to you for pulling it off. Why is it that every time I read something by a NixOS person I get the inpressiom that they are very smart but are completely mad.
That was one of the most unhinged rabbit holes I’ve been to in a hot second, and I absolutely mean that in the best of ways. Well done and congrats on getting there after everything was said and done!
I’ve been meaning to experiment with mobile NixOS myself but it’s all but impossible to get my hands on a supported device around here. Then again, maybe fumbling around and trying to get it to work at all on an old phone might be fun 🤔
I don’t mind it, but I don’t really use it for any of its features. I use i3 over Unity, I think Snaps (and flatpaks, appimages, etc) are dumb as shit.l, and don’t even get me started on how garbage Nautilus is - drives me nuts trying to type a filename in to jump to it only to have Nautilus run a search instead… No idea who thought that was a good idea, but they need to fix that crap already.
I’d probably get by just fine with a full Debian setup tbh.
Framework has a guide for you. You’ll need to disable either power-profiles-daemon or TLP depending on what CPU you have.
As for hibernation: TL;DR: it’s a mess. Fedora doesn’t support it out of the box. You can make it work with some elbow grease.
However, you shouldn’t need hibernation if your laptop goes to sleep like it should. If you can’t get it to sleep right, or still really want hibernation, here are some pointers:
many Linux distros don’t consider hibernation to be a stable feature. The default Fedora setup doesn’t even come with a swap partition by default, which makes hibernation impossible. You’ll need to allocate some swap space before you can hibernate your computer.
make sure your swap partition is encrypted if the rest of your laptop is encrypted as well. If you use a swap file, you can make this work, too, but it’ll be slightly more complicated
make sure your swap partition is big enough (at least RAM size + the amount of swap in use at the point of hibernation)
if you don’t have a partition for swap and don’t want to create one, or if you want to keep using zram (compressed memory, enabled by default on Fedora, probably recommended to keep enabled), then this guide and its comments will tell you how to get a swap file to work. Make sure you read the update with more details too, and there’s also a comment further down specifically about Intel Framework laptops (need to disable a certain Intel driver that breaks hibernation).
disable secure boot in your BIOS. Linux doesn’t support the security features that Windows has to validate the state of boot SECURITY (even with custom secure boot keys), so when you’re running in secure boot mode (and the kernel is in lockdown mode), the Linux kernel disables hibernation. Alternatively, there are guides that’ll show you how to patch that check out, but that involves compiling your own kernel and that’s not worth the effort IMO.
configure your laptop for suspend-then-hibernate for best performance. I believe hybrid-sleep will also work. The Github gist I linked has details
you will probably need to enter your password when resuming from hibernation. This is a security feature. You can configure your laptop to use the TPM to decrypt the disk, skipping the encryption password entirely, it you don’t mind thieves having the ability to access your data when they steal the laptop.
You may be wondering why this is so complicated. A big reason is that Linux wants to be secure, but hibernation comes with unique security challenges. Linux also wants to be fast and efficient (by compressing RAM rather than writing it to disk) but that messes with the presumptions the hibernation system makes. Fedora dorky sorry hibernation out of the box, but they’re working on it, albeit not as fast as you might hope: pagure.io/fedora-workstation/issue/121
This is looking really promising! Pipewire already has pretty much solved audio issues (at least for me) entirely and now with HDR on the cusp, the year of the Linux desktop is nigh! Barring some Adobe BS and CAD stuff, there really isn’t much left
