linuxoveruser, in CLI Editors with Distrobox?

you should have no problem doing Python dev on nixos, it’s basically made for doing development environments like this without the need for containers. you should just be able to set up a nix shell for your project that contains python and all the necessary dependencies, and then enter the shell. then, you’ll have all the right dependencies installed for your project and still have access to any editors you have installed

linuxoveruser,

I’d also check out poetry2nix if you’re a poetry fan and interested in building your package with nix. See www.tweag.io/blog/2020-08-12-poetry2nix/.

Tier1BuildABear, in One of these 6 will become Plasma 6. Wallpaper Which one do you prefer?
@Tier1BuildABear@lemmy.world avatar

The one with the clock better have a moving clock otherwise I hate it. Static clocks should never be part of a wallpaper.

velox_vulnus, in CLI Editors with Distrobox?

Use Nix expressions or flakes for that - just copy a simple example of default.nix or shell.nix from a git host and tweak it to your liking. Personally, I am not a fan of how Nix handles Python, and still can’t get used to how Python packages have to be included in expressions, so I create a temporary virtual environment for the time-being.

smileyhead, (edited ) in One of these 6 will become Plasma 6. Wallpaper Which one do you prefer?

3 and 4 are nice but as something someone would set themself. Too much character and detail to be the default when Plasma do not target any specific demographic.

1, 2 and 5 are nice abstract wallpapers, but honestly boring as we have stuff like that for years.

6 is the best. This is wallpaper with some style, but not too much character.

Edit: Just in my opinion and for my eye of course.

3rd one fits KDE style, also 6 is amazing too

Is it safe to clear ~/.cache/mozilla/ while Firefox is running?

Pantherina,

No.

Maybe not while it’s running, but .cache is intended to be temporary files only so expecting files to permanently be there should be treated as a bug

ArcaneSlime, (edited ) in Reminder to clear your ~/.cache folder every now and then

…yeah let me go check that…

13,574 totaling 1.7gb, not too bad. Hey OP how do you get to this view? It looks like we both use nautilus but when I select “properties” on the .cache folder it looks different.

Zangoose,
@Zangoose@lemmy.world avatar

I use thunar (with ePapirus-Dark icons which is probably what makes it look like nautilus), I liked nautilus when I used it but thunar has a bit more functionality that I like

ArcaneSlime,

Ah thanks!

kaesaecracker,

the screenshot does not look like nautilus, maybe xfce?

Bleachbit is good for clearing up some space

SpaceCadet, in How to switch thr state of Fn keys?
@SpaceCadet@sopuli.xyz avatar

On my QK80 mechanical keyboard I could do this:


<span style="color:#323232;">echo 2 > /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/fnmode
</span>

Maybe your keyboard driver has a similar parameter?

ArcaneSlime, in How to switch thr state of Fn keys?

It’s the only option I know but thankfully it is easy as piss. Just figure out your key to enter bios (usually ESC or f12, you may need to try the Fn key and f12 for obvious reasons), restart and enter the bios, slide around until you find the option, select, change, F10 to save and exit and you’re good. May even want to set a bios password while you’re in there, why not? Should take like 10-15min.

ProtonBadger, (edited )

Or sudo systemctl reboot --firmware-setup

ArcaneSlime,

No shit? This boots you into bios?

flontlocs,

Directly, and without having to figure out which button to spam.

ArcaneSlime,

Thanks!

ArcaneSlime, in I use linux for the same reason I wear fuzzy socks and sweaters

I don’t understand why so many people are comfortable using the Office Job OS when they could be using something that suits them.

It comes preinstalled on most computers people buy. Tbh that is mostly the reason.

It’s like if you bought a house and it came with a full closet of “good enough for you” suits and instead of going out and buying comfy clothes you just use the suits provided, especially because you know how to wear suits and haven’t yet figured out how to wear hoodies which look “harder” (ok the analogy is falling apart but ykwim).

Rustmilian, in Xenia wouldn't suggest that :c
@Rustmilian@lemmy.world avatar

It’s clearly a play on the fact Xenia is a Fox.

yum13241,

I know of one Fox, and he is Fox McCloud.

kraniax, (edited ) in [SOLVED] Brave Browser not launching in LXQT in Debian 12

To the folks who posted useless comments instead of actually helping: Thanks for nothing.

I don’t know what you expected. There’s no need to be rude. Installing a Flatpak for example is a very valid answer and would definitely solve the problem.

And initially you didn’t even say how did you install brave, which is quite relevant in order to find a solution.

Edit: You put the error in a screenshot which leaves it rather useless for searching the error in the web. In general, I’d say that you have very little error solving skills and instead of thanking for “nothing” you should be thankful that people even bothered to answer.

“Installing a Flatpak for example is a very valid answer and would definitely solve the problem” That wasn’t a useless comment. Although it would not have helped, it was still in the right direction. Useless comments are those claiming that I should stop using brave and just stick to firefox.

“You put the error in a screenshot which leaves it rather useless for searching the error in the web” I put the screenshot so that nothing is missed and I have seen this previously.

“In general, I’d say that you have very little error solving skills” I would say that you have very weak probabilty and statistics skill, if you can generalise the entire sample space with just a singleton event.

“and instead of thanking for “nothing” you should be thankful that people even bothered to answer.” Again, not directed to people who gave technical help or asked questions but only to those suggesting I just stick to FF or give up Brave.

Presi300, in Arch or NixOS?
@Presi300@lemmy.world avatar

NixOS and nix in general is incredibly complicated imo and the documentation is… let’s just say sub par. I’d go with arch unless you really just wanna learn nix.

noli,

It’s incredibly complicated in the same way that ubuntu is incredibly complicated to a lifelong windows user.

It just requires a bit of a paradigm shift which includes a learning curve but IMO once you’re past that point it’s intuitive and even easier than other distros.

Presi300, (edited )
@Presi300@lemmy.world avatar

You cannot compare NixOS to ubuntu… even for as a new user to more adept user comparison, NixOS is really complicated. I’m not saying it’s bad, just that the documentation on how it works could be better. I’ve tried to use NixOS and nix itself multiple times and they were a nightmare to setup each time, especially NixOS (nix itself isn’t as complicated to me but it has some annoying things with proprietary software and not integrating with desktops at all without using hacky scripts).

noli,

Did you truly read what I said? The only logical way I can frame your comment is that you glanced at what I wrote down and started writing a reply.

To a regular average windows user, ubuntu is incredibly complicated. When you learm how it works and how you’re supposed to use it, it becomes incredibly easy. The “hard” part of ubuntu is the paradigm shift from windows to the linux ecosystem.

Similarly, to an average linux user nixos is “hard” because it does things completely differently from other linux distros. But once you’re used to it, it just makes sense and is easy.

So the comparison is average windows user -> ubuntu vs average linux user -> nixos. Not average user -> ubuntu vs average user -> nixos.

Finally: Nixos documentation is IMO 100x better than ubuntu documentation. Whenever I experience any issue with ubuntu it’s easier to just load up the arch wiki and hope it’s similar than it is to try and find anything specific for ubuntu that isn’t either 10 years out of date, a massive gaping security risk or just plain dumb. The nixos wiki may not be perfect but it has always been sufficient for my needs, and I have to run a decent amount of very niche pieces of software.
