KI want their little guy as an emoji
Kfedora deck
VThis is what worked for me.
AThere is a nix container tho
AHL2 RTX is real?

VI'd prefer to run as many packages as I can via nix instead of distrobox, precisely because they avoid the container overlay, but I was able to get the theming/cursor issues to be consistent between bazzite and apps in a fedora container by basically installing kde on the container using
sudo dnf groupinstall "KDE Plasma Workspaces"I'd certainly like to get the cursor to work with straight nix on bazzite, but I'm not sure what I need to install for that. I've tried a bunch of things, but nothing's worked so far.
Kyou can also add /usr/share/icons and /usr/share/themes as volumes to distrobox
Kthat's what bazzite-arch does
Kthen it's 100% consistent
VOh. that's nice.
Dthanks for the guide
i have no idea how to use nix profile

VIf there was a way to do that with directly nix packages, that would be great.
V@nickname will the documentation for the nix profile stuff be going here - https://universal-blue.org/images/bazzite/FAQ/#nix? Or somewhere else?
Tit should be fixed now as soon as it gets the OK
VWe need a bazzite bascot

When using the new flakes interface, e.g. nix profile, the nixpkgs configuration in ~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix is ignored due to hermetic evaluation, so, e.g. it is not clear to me how to install...

Tapologies to the nix cult but this is ridiculous stuff

Ti think im about to link to documentation for nix like i did for rpm-ostree lol
K
Twell actually j0rge wanted me to link documentation for rpm-ostree instead of just listing the basic layering command
VThe allow unfree stuff is one of the most sane things about it lol
Vwhere

Kthat's for the best imo
Kit's nix, link to their docs
Kno reason for us to maintain it
Ti dont even know what to link here LOL
Jyeah we're about sign posts more than writing docs for other things. It's easier to send people to the right docs than trying to normalize everything
V@nickname Nix is a lot easier to manage on NixOS, but nix-env and profile and whatever just seem to be more frustrating.
