could you link to the issue

“install flatpak”

why would someone do that in NixOS? nix has a lot of packages and using flatpaks imperatively would lead to less reproducibility

I'd like you to guess which one of these is fake:

  1. How do I install Hyprland on NixOS using Flakes?

  2. How do I install systemd-dispatcher on Void Linux RC?


Edit:

OP has answered, the answer isthat the second one is fake, the first one is real.

find an even older, less mantained alternative.

cursor keys? you mean arrow keys? i'm pretty sure both work, although hjkl is in home row if you care about that

and a need to find another PC to flash an archiso to a flash drive ('cause ofc I didn’t have one at the time).

you can do that from your phone using etchdroid

i don't remember ever breaking my system in a terrible way, but when i started using linux (with linux mint) i uninstalled ca-certificates and i think that uninstalled the whole DE

Update: I installed NixOS on my laptop (secondary pc) to learn it. Took me all day, but tommorrow I'll maybe make a dotfiles repo using flakes.

Here's a starting point I found for doing exactly that: github:Misterio77/nix-starter-configs.

one thing i hate about running games with WINE is that sometimes i switch virtual desktop while playing then the game is unresponsive when i come back

But don’t worry. Here comes the best part: you go to universal-blue.org and create your own image.

this has blown my mind! it's here i'm supposed to go, right? the only problem i have is with github, since i have moved my stuff to codeberg and this looks way too dependent on github specifically.

i think i might either try Sericea (sadly just default sway, not swayfx) or use NixOS. this is because i don't want to have to learn too much at once, as that tends to be confusing and frustrating.

[–] callyral@pawb.social 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'll try that out. Didn't know you could do that!

Nice, I use SwayFX so Fedora Sericea is (almost) perfect, I'd just have to rebase* to SwayFX.

*I don't know what exactly "rebase" means, is it like a command that replaces your base system? If that's it, then awesome!

Is it possible to use any DE if I install a base image (one without a DE) then just install the DE via OSTree? I haven't found any SwayFX images.

I'll stick to Void Linux right now, though in the future I'll probably switch to Fedora Sericea or NixOS. Probably Fedora first and in a later future, NixOS, since I like its features but don't understand them yet.
