flashgnash,

I love that the terminal based browser depends on firefox

flashgnash,

Am I the only one that thinks a Viking burial with a raft cobbled together out of logs and stuff by my loved ones would be awesome?

flashgnash,

Right? Feel like the building of the raft would be a good way for people to process, wouldn’t be that expensive cause you’d just be using wood and rope instead of a coffin and burial service

flashgnash,

Is that what happened in actual viking burials?

Surely there’s some way you could make it hot enough

flashgnash,

All joking aside a lot of people in my circle have switched recently that have been holding out until now

Year of the Linux desktop or not it’s certainly got a surge in popularity recently

flashgnash, (edited )

I explicitly don’t want to use Wayland for my work machine because on both my laptop and PC (both Nvidia) and it’s not very stable/reliable

The work PC has Nvidia too so x11 seems like the better choice for that for the “it just works” factor

flashgnash,

Wayland on Nvidia is not stable.

I’m using hyprland which adds another layer of instability as hyprland itsself can be ropey with Nvidia

Even with gnome Wayland I have had a number of issues though, electron stuff is dodgy at best, hibernation doesn’t work (might not be Wayland specific)

Applications don’t resize properly sometimes and crash more often

I think it entirely depends on your setup, I’ve had separate issues with Nvidia Wayland across my PC and laptop

flashgnash,

I have tried qtile before, never really got on with it myself, don’t really like using python for config personally

flashgnash,

I am curious about this as I’ve never heard of it however for this use case I’m looking for as mainstream as possible so it’s least likely to break in a way nobody’s seen before

flashgnash, (edited )

Ooh that is amazing thank you for the config will help me get started with it

Though I didn’t end up getting on with qtile using python for config, I tend to prefer configs being dumb text files

What do you mean by formally verified?

flashgnash,

Wayland

flashgnash,

Unfortunately for this use case rough around the edges won’t do. If something doesn’t work instantly I get blamed for using nonstandard software so the most reliable is what I’m looking for really

For personal use I have no problem with rough around the edges (evidenced by my using hyprland on Nvidia lol)

flashgnash,

I have tried with a couple myself and come to the conclusion that right now you’re probably better off buying an android tablet, putting a de-googled version of android on it and running termux if you need Linux on it

flashgnash,

Just putting this in to warn people, pinetab 2 has no functional WiFi drivers so you need a dongle

flashgnash,

For me it’s the fact that I have one source of truth for my whole system config that I can stick in git

If I want to clean up software I don’t need anymore I just remove them from the package list and they’re gone next rebuild

Also means when I reinstall or setup a new system I just run the installer, do a git pull, rebuild and I’ve instantly got all my tools, configured just how I like them

Also, if I want to make a big change I can build my system in a VM first to make sure it works first (not that I do that because it also lets me revert to an earlier build from grub if I need to)

I’ve also got both my laptop and my PC on basically identical configurations from the same git repo with each of them having a smaller config file for hardware specific stuff

flashgnash,

It would still somehow manage to overwrite whatever would pass for a boot loader

flashgnash,

Installing arch on OneDrive is an entertaining concept

flashgnash,

I hear the camera quality was terrible back then

flashgnash,

I have no idea, from what I gather there aren’t all the packages

I’m not sure what if anything installing them via nix does I’ve just come to the realisation it’s already declarative so why would people bother getting it working under nix

flashgnash,

Have tried this myself and never had much luck trying to install nvim plugins via nix.

I’ve found the best way is to just use the plugin managers built for neovim, I’m not sure if this applies to all of them but lazy.nvim seems to be fairly declarative anyway, have home-manager map a directory to .config/nvim/ and away you go

As a side note though I think it is rather silly just how many different neovim package managers there are, which at the end of the day all do the same thing in very similar ways

flashgnash,

I’m kinda tempted to switch my PC to bazzite from NixOS, have to imagine life would be easier that way

I’ve got so used to NixOS now though that the idea of switching off it is pretty unpleasant
