tryhardsoccermomswag•8/30/23, 10:50 PM

Nix desktop files

When I install a GUI application using nix, I see desktop files end inside ~/.nix-profile directory, e.g:

dreamyukiOP•8/30/23, 10:51 PM

another good tips for .desktop file from nixpkgs

tryhardsoccermomswag•8/30/23, 10:52 PM

i think im about to link to documentation for nix like i did for rpm-ostree lol

Kyle Gospo•8/30/23, 10:52 PM

tryhardsoccermomswag•8/30/23, 10:52 PM

well actually j0rge wanted me to link documentation for rpm-ostree instead of just listing the basic layering command

Ttryhardsoccermomswag apologies to the nix cult but this is ridiculous stuff 😭

Valerie•8/30/23, 11:00 PM

The allow unfree stuff is one of the most sane things about it lol

Kyle Gospo•8/30/23, 11:01 PM

that's for the best imo

Kyle Gospo•8/30/23, 11:01 PM

it's nix, link to their docs

Kyle Gospo•8/30/23, 11:01 PM

no reason for us to maintain it

tryhardsoccermomswag•8/30/23, 11:02 PM

i dont even know what to link here LOL

j0rge•8/30/23, 11:03 PM

yeah 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

Valerie•8/30/23, 11:03 PM

@nickname Nix is a lot easier to manage on NixOS, but nix-env and profile and whatever just seem to be more frustrating.

tryhardsoccermomswag•8/30/23, 11:03 PM

Valerie•8/30/23, 11:03 PM

Even in nix-env is le bad

Kyle Gospo•8/31/23, 12:04 AM

it's the recent gamescope update to support wayland clients

Kyle Gospo•8/31/23, 12:04 AM

metro exodus has instant-crashed on linux wayland since launch

Kyle Gospo•8/31/23, 12:04 AM

I could switch to proton but I'm stubborn

Kyle Gospo•8/31/23, 12:05 AM

so far SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 %command%SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 %command% isn't enough

Live debugging my #SteamDeck running Metro Exodus with Fedora Cockpit.

Just one of those things we accidentally got for free in #Bazzite that I now can't live without.

tryhardsoccermomswag•8/31/23, 1:35 AM

so cool

tryhardsoccermomswag•8/31/23, 1:35 AM

btw someone asked on the deck discord if they can dual boot debian server with bazzite on their deck? they plan to run debian server on an external drive though

tryhardsoccermomswag•8/31/23, 1:36 AM

im assuming it's fine with an external drive? ive seen people dual boot bazzite and SteamOS with bazzite on a microSD card
