dis, to NixOS

I'm officially done with . The last straw was being unable to run "standard" distribution binaries (Appimage, etc) so there is no fallback to missing/broken apps.
I'm just over it. It has tried to trash my laptop battery more times than I can count (drain below critical instead of sleeping or hibernating, per configs) and it just brings nothing but stress. "Nix-shell" is neat but not worth the rest of this.
Yet another grand idea loaded down with terrible docs and old-school "If you were cool you'd already know this" attitudes. Those people can go circle-jerk themselves without me.
As a bonus, this was very very hard to type. Not because I am sad or anything, no, instead it is because "disable trackpad while typing" is broken on plasma, or at least on my installs.

@sandro@c3d2.social avatar

@dis You can easily run AppImages with appimage-run and that works quite well.
I have charging configured in Plasma and that works very well, too, especially with power-profiles-daemon.
The docs are not terrible. They are not on pair with Arch Wiki but the other docs from other Distros are far worse and many internet resources recommend actual wrong things that break your system on upgrades.
The libinput palm touch detection being flaky is a general problem.

After my unfaithful months I am back in the church of . Reinstalling my old config on my daily driver.

@revol_xut 🙂 at least avahi works now faster and doesn't time out because it tries to resolve none existing IPv6 records by default. The other one is just cosmetical.

@rumi I use Chrome on some devices. Firefox and Chromium on others.

publicvoit, to xfce
@publicvoit@graz.social avatar

I'm using since way over a decade because:

  • it offers the right level of abstraction & functionality I expect
  • it's more or less stable so I don't have to get used to different things every couple of months/years

With my latest adventure & the Wayland situation, I'm thinking of switching over to because it has Wayland support and https://github.com/pjones/plasma-manager might actually offer the possibility to fully(?) configure KDE from .

Did somebody made that switch as well?

sandro,
@sandro@c3d2.social avatar

@publicvoit Plasma 6 actually moved some of the state out of their config files but I still can't recommend home-manager. It is usually just busy work and doesn't offer any comparable value like the modules nixos offers.

still no way easy way to obtain security advisories for x.x

If you don't know what I mean:

https://www.suse.com/support/update/

sandro,
@sandro@c3d2.social avatar

@tamtararam basically we just need to correlate https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues?q=label%3A%221.severity%3A+security%22+ with the channel

After a lot of messing around, I finally managed to get Plasma 6 running on NixOS! I'm gonna continue messing with the config for a few days, then I'm hoping I can set this up on my primary drive.

sandro,
@sandro@c3d2.social avatar

@torepang @ultrasquid It is the equivalent of apt update

tuxflo, to rustdesk
@tuxflo@chaos.social avatar

Binary version of in , when? Spending way too much time compiling endless crates when doing 'nixos-rebuild switch'

sandro,
@sandro@c3d2.social avatar

@raito @Atemu RustDesk itself is gpl3 but it depends on libsciter which contains a compiled so with unclear license situation, hence it is marked unfree.

@lgehr What if you wanted Linux, but upgrades are not a pain.

bitprophet, to NixOS
@bitprophet@social.coop avatar

As a sysadmin, it's super irritating that thinks it's okay to aggressively nuke older versions of their search site and their manuals. Literally punishing anybody who dares to be even slightly conservative in their upgrades.

It's especially odd given how friendly the overall architecture is to running whichever versions of stuff you want, forwards or backwards. And how the binary cache seems to still have all the old versions!

sandro, (edited )
@sandro@c3d2.social avatar

@bitprophet This means you must be running 23.05 or older which didn't receive a commit in over 6 months.

@cbleslie @bitprophet Please don't :NotLikeThis:

@onelson @bitprophet You don't have such problems with NixOS. Worst case it takes some time.

mir, to NixOS

i gotta get in the habit of squashing commits together. having to commit before every rebuild gets pretty tedious, and iv been putting in "typo fix pleas work dammit" type vents in the commit messages...

sandro,
@sandro@c3d2.social avatar

@mir you don't need to do a commit to do nixos-rebuild even when remote deploying

waeiski, to manjaro
@waeiski@vis.social avatar

It is a bummer that the only way to get #rstats on #Manjaro is through AUR. I have nothing but bad experiences of AUR in Manjaro, even if something works initially, it will break eventually.

I would love to have it in the Manjaro repos or as a #flatpak. It is officially available for #Linux on Ubuntu/Debian, Fedora and OpenSuse, so it ought to be possible.

On a related note, how difficult is it to turn a .deb file into a flatpak?

sandro,
@sandro@c3d2.social avatar

@alxlg @koen @waeiski

> just use all the distros you want together!

Yes, every container uses the upstreams favorite distro and you have literally everything. That's the future.

neo, to NixOS

Has anyone using / notes on migrating to ? From what I can tell from the expression (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/nixos-23.11/nixos/modules/services/misc/forgejo.nix) forgejo has its own statedir. Should I just copy the gitea statedir to the forgejo statedir or should I set the stateDir for Forgejo to point to the Gitea stateDir?

sandro,
@sandro@c3d2.social avatar

That's the hard fork migrations 😂

@cadey @tigrisdata You can probably just throw the blog onto one node with nginx and it be done with it.

sandro,
@sandro@c3d2.social avatar

@cadey @tigrisdata I don't see what nginx couldn't solve. Even the accept file type things can be done.

alxlg, to NixOS Italian
@alxlg@mastodon.social avatar

Dear and users, since you went very far in making a OS declaratively configured, how could one configure which addons (widgets, service menus, wallpapers etc) to install from ?

Repackaging everything wouldn't be that good because I would like to preserve the download counts: they are used to financially compensate
developers and artists that upload on stores by Pling.

sandro,
@sandro@c3d2.social avatar

@alxlg You download them once and then commit the files 🙈

retchohrips, to NixOS

As much as I love I wish it would stop BREAKING THINGS... Most recently I updated my flake.lock and suddenly started getting errors on rebuild a out pipewire-pulse not having permission to mkdir????

sandro,
@sandro@c3d2.social avatar

@retchohrips that's https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/282377 and someone needs to find the bugs, so if you are using unstable, you are kinda expected to help iron them out.

sandro, to NixOS
@sandro@c3d2.social avatar

sandro,

@ma27 @maralorn Definitely going to copy some things from this

sandro,
@sandro@c3d2.social avatar

@maralorn @ma27 They pretty close tbh and both often miss vital details, that you often need to use nix-tree, a look in the source code, git history and good guess work to fully understand things.

sandro,
@sandro@c3d2.social avatar

@maralorn @ma27 For example finding the exact drv that contains the diff is not easy

astro, to NixOS
@astro@c3d2.social avatar

nix store diff-closures a 23.11.20231220 with 23.11.20240220 and it seems that tons of packages have just gotten bigger by a few hundred kilobytes. Why?

sandro,
@sandro@c3d2.social avatar

@julienmalka @astro That command ignores nix store optimise IIRC, so the numbers are usually a bit off and for me this happens all the time
