flashgnash,

I have to disagree with this, with home-manager you can pretty much put just put your normal config files inside your NixOS config and map them into wherever they’re meant to go, except now they’re managed by nix

The built in config options are really nice but you don’t have to use them in the slightest as long as the package itsself is in nixpkgs

flashgnash,

Looks nice to me, feels a lot cleaner

flashgnash,

Having tried NTFS, ext4 and btrfs, the difference is not noticeable (though NTFS is buggy on Linux)

Btrfs I believe has compression built in so is good for large libraries but realistically ext4 is the easiest and simplest way to do so I just use that nowadays

flashgnash,

That’s in the works still right now, steam deck has it and I think it’s possible to get it working on other distros but isn’t on by default in most I don’t think

flashgnash,

I don’t know why I just love the random underlining and his expression

flashgnash, (edited )

If you want to automate your system install Nix is a good one to look at, nowadays when I use a new system/wipe an existing one I can just install NixOS drop my config, sign into the things that need signing into and go

Obviously doesn’t work as well if you’re trying other distros but you can still use it on them

flashgnash,

Provided you don’t want to play one of the few games that refuse to enable Linux support on their anticheat I’ve found my PC can run games designed to run on windows far more smoothly now than they ever did on windows

    If it’s a VPS you could just use tailscale until it’s sorted

    The Distro Wars are good actually.?

    If all the seemingly pointless discussions about which distro is better comes from attachment to a spesific distro and if a distro is just a way to interract with linux than all the discussion about witch distro is better etc. fundementally comes from a a place of love and appreciation for Linux as an OS....

    flashgnash,

    Made infinitely more entertaining by the fact they’re all more or less the same under the hood with minor differences packed ontop of the same Linux kernel

    Made the switch to KDE

    I’ve been using Fedora for a couple of months now, and have been loving it. Very soon after I jumped into this community (among other Linux communities) and started laughing at all the people saying “KDE rules, GNOME drools,” and “GNOME is better, KDE is for babies.” But then I thought, “Why not give KDE a try? The...

    flashgnash,

    Gnome and KDE are both great for different reasons. One of the things that’s great about Linux as a whole is it gives people the ability to choose the stack they like most

    flashgnash, (edited )

    I don’t think OP is looking to remote into servers here, personally for servers ssh is great but for accessing my laptop from desktop/vice versa the terminal can be a bit awkward when there are applications with no cli behind them which is where a graphical remote desktop comes in handy

    Glad to know teams isn’t just the bane of my existence on linux

    flashgnash,

    From what I gather teams-for-linux still uses the web version doesn’t it? Would that not be subject to all the same problems?

    flashgnash,

    Might give it another go then, the problem for me is not that it doesn’t work, but that it doesn’t work reliably though

    Have been using it as a PWA and half the time it forgets I gave it mic permissions or resets my audio settings/doesn’t even recognise my mic in the first place

    flashgnash,

    Edge I haven’t tried yet. Have been trying to use degoogled chromium where I can but that’s a battle I might have to give up on in this case

    flashgnash,

    Did you know teams personal exists and they’ve added features to it for gaming? Why anyone would voluntarily use teams I will never understand

    flashgnash,

    I guess so, have never heard of anyone actually using it but it’s built into windows so someone probably will at some point

    CLI Editors with Distrobox?

    How do you all handle this? I’m going to start poking around with NixOS but anticipate Python dev to be impossible on the base OS, so curious what sorts of options y’all use when connecting your configured editor to a container- e.g. if I have Neovim configured in my host, is it better to re-set-up Neovim again with the same...

    flashgnash,

    Python is easy on NixOS, you just need to use python venvs and you can use pip like normal

    (python -m venv .venv) to create the venv (only need to do once per project)

    .venv/bin/activate to enable the venv (Vscode should do this automatically if you create the venv through the python extension)

    Then just pip install to your heart’s content

    (Probably a good idea to pip freeze > requirements.txt every time you install a new library too to make it reproducible

    Also you should probably add the venv directory to gitignore if you’re using git as it’ll add a lot of crap to source control that can be easily regenerated from the requirements.txt

    I’ve definitely had it wake me up the first time I drank it, was grumpy and tired late in the evening, had a shot of espresso and was bouncing off the walls

    Laptop not working after installing nimdow

    I have installed nimdow window manager. I have auto-login enabled. Nimdow is the default option. The only options I have at boot are (from the bootloader): default, timeout, edit, resolution, print and help (help is not working). How am I supposed to go back to GNOME or disable auto-login? I tried accessing the recovery shell,...

    flashgnash,

    Just be ready to have to lean on the community a lot to begin with

    You try going fast

    And end up going slowly

    Bikes might be faster

    flashgnash, (edited )

    But it’s really funny to watch, especially if both of them are wrong and won’t back down

    flashgnash,

    Is there a way to make reader view automatic on sites where it makes sense? Quite often use it when I get the “uwu pwease disable adbwock” message on a sketchy site but would be nice to just always have it on those kind of sites

    flashgnash,

    Photoshop has no good alternative on Linux though that’s a very real reason to need windows

    Personally I’m too cheap for a Photoshop license anyway so doesn’t bother me but some people need it

    flashgnash,

    Why would you not want weekly updates about cheddar cheese though
