First impressions of Cosmix Saigon, alpha 7 of Cosmic, running on NixOS, with some valuable help of the NixBook scripts.:

- Feels more complete; cannot really put my finger on it

- Challenge/response for my BT keyboard doesn't work (yet); other BT devices are just fine.

- Network discovery has improved; the NAS was recognized easily. Not as smooth as Gnome yet.

- Cosmix updated the flatpaks as intended; come Monday we'll see about the system

All in all off to a good start, I'll take the laptop to work tomorrow.

Hey #nixpkgs #nixos folks ... there's no option I can test to check wheter _any_ desktop is enabled, right?

E.G.: I am putting ktailctl into systemPackages if plasma6 is enabled. But if I switch to another DE/WM, I still want ktailctl... but I don't want to need to think about that expression as well...

Continued thread

Okay the fastest workaround I found for now is:

# build laptop's system on the server (a lot already built, doesn't take long)
server$ nix build .#nixosConfigurations.$LAPTOP.config.system.build.toplevel)"

# copy system manually from server to laptop
laptop$ nix copy --from ssh://server "$(nix eval --raw --apply builtins.toString .#nixosConfigurations."$(hostname)".config.system.build.toplevel)"
# then nixos-rebuild as usual
laptop$ nixos-rebuild --flake . --use-remote-sudo switch

Has *anyone ever* gotten :nixos: #nix to automatically fetch things from another of your machines instead of cache.nixos.org and/or rebuilding everything _again_ locally?

The manual¹ claims one can use --substituers ssh://yourmachine, but (of course) that doesn't work. Terrible or no error messages, that weird 'SSH stdout first line:' message, different port only settable via NIX_SSHOPTS='-p 1234', hangs indefinitely at `querying info about missing paths`...

I am pretty new to #NixOS - but while I wait for my first PR (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/400046) to be reviewed, I want to use the package already.

currently I add
-I nixpkgs=... to my rebuilds but it feels wrong. Especially since #nix seems to be made for flexible things like this.

Where would I start finding this out? Is it advisible to get familiar with nix lang first and THEN try stuff like this or are there good resources for 'learn as you go' - which usually works better for me.

I'm in a little bit of a trouble with my feelings. there is this cult that is slowly getting a grasp on me 😭 on one hand they promise the cool things and some of my friends are already strong believers but on the other hand I feel like a traitor, just thinking about leaving the cult that I've been with for almost 8 years now 😭

I'm talking about #arch based linux vs #nixOS 🤡

If you are using #NixOS, just use this configuration

```nix
{ pkgs, ... }:
{
services.orca.enable = true; # for screen reader
environment.systemPackages = [
pkgs.pied # only available on unstable at time of writing
]
}
```

This is a really good video by @notthebee on using :nixos: #NixOS in a #homelab. He explains the benefits and downsides very well in a casual tone. Everything he says speaks right out of my heart why NixOS is so amazing and why I am doing it pretty much identically as him. Worth watching!

A little annoyed with NixOS's documentation.

I had to rewrite the whole GPU information because NixOS documentation is a mess. For starters there are 4 sources, 3 Wiki sites for NixOS concerning Nvidia

Wiki 1
https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Nvidia
Wiki 2
https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/NVIDIA
Wiki 3
https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/#sec-x11-graphics-cards-nvidia

My goal is just to enable the drivers and allow the user access to the generic settings. If they want to dig deeper or need more, they can explore that on their own, and I link to the new official Wiki (twice) where they can obtain that information. There was a whole thread on their support forums concerning the Wiki and Nvidia, and how to best get Nvidia working.
https://discourse.nixos.org/t/there-are-3-nvidia-wiki-pages-for-nixos/64066?u=linuxisbest

Having me go over everything (several times) gave me the opportunity to expand the AMD and Intel support. It also made me look over my configuration and realize I needed to help make this easier to read. In some places I had too much white space, in others not enough, while going a little too deep in documentation, when the whole goal is to make this easy, so I had to rethink some things.

The good news is I think ultimately, I ended up with a better configuration file (have a look):

Thanks to the awesome @leftpaddotpy and 9999years (I don't have their fedi?!), we now have #Lix 2.93.0: lix.systems/blog/2025-05-06-li.

The release notes contain a lot of goodies, nevertheless, another cool thing about it is that it contains a tremendous effort from eldritch horrors to rewrite the I/O and threading model to KJ: the Cap'n'Proto asynchronous runtime.

This unveiled a massive amount of hidden ordering constraints in the codebase, very hard to debug.

Lix · Announcing Lix 2.93 “Bici Bici”We at the Lix team are proud to announce our fourth major release, version 2.93 “Bici Bici”. This release focuses on bugfixes and continues integrating Lix with the KJ asynchronous runtime, in order to replace the previous bespoke implementation.

Hii~,

I’m quantenzitrone or short Zitrone, a mostly male #human.

I just moved here from #fosstodon because of some moderation drama there leading to some instances defederating, also because i wanted to switch to an instance hosted in Europe.

I like computers, especially those running #GNUlinux especially #NixOS. I’m currently setting up my #homeserver with NixOS. I maintain a few packages in nixpkgs.

I like #programming, especially in #Rustlang, sometimes when programming in other languages I notice that they are in fact not Rust. Sometimes I complain about it on Fedi

I may meow at you especially if you’re cute and/or meow-at-able

I study computer science at @uniheidelberg@xn–baw-joa.social.

You may meet me in the #RaumZeitLabor or at the #GPN and #ChaosCommunicationCongress. This year I also plan to be on the #MRMCD and maybe #NixCon.

My favourite logic gate is XOR.
