I finally figured out the source of the reason for Distrobox not detecting my 4k monitors resolution

I finally figured out the source of the reason for Distrobox not detecting my 4k monitors resolution at 200% scaling, which in turn also fixed the blurry Electron apps I had on both my desktop and laptop that I had thought was just Electron being Electron... Fractional scaling

Finally have black Mesa set up again, can't play it without 98 mods installed

You never "fix" anything in Linux

Lol. Used to fighting with HiDPI stuff

If I tell it hey, you have to use X11, it works

I know Firefox has full support for fractional scaling in Wayland now

Kyle Gospo•8/31/23, 3:30 AM

Not a bad way to go

EyeCantCUOP•8/31/23, 3:31 AM

Yeah, it does. It seems to be what was breaking distrobox and a few programs I use though

EyeCantCUOP•8/31/23, 3:33 AM

Brave was also working with fractional scaling. Disabling it to fix the other stuff is what broke it

EyeCantCUOP•8/31/23, 3:35 AM

Only downside is my secondary monitor isn't perfectly proportional to my primary but I'll live

Ttryhardsoccermomswag you might as well read a whole book on how to use nix

Vosian•8/31/23, 4:03 AM

I am beginning to agree.

interesting

heri•8/31/23, 4:06 AM

nix is a good case of good idea, fucking horrible execution

heri•8/31/23, 4:06 AM

especiallly with fragmentation

Vosian•8/31/23, 4:07 AM

Question. In light of that, is there a reason why fleek has not been used to deal with nix packages in bazzite? I've just started playing with it. It seems the whole purpose of fleek is to greatly simplify things regarding nix, and in that respect it seems like it does that admirably. The commands are simple and straight forward. And you can manage everything in a single yaml file.

heri•8/31/23, 4:07 AM

nix-env and nix profile, with

nix profile

nix profile

being more modern but nix-env still being the only suggested way to do things on the site

Vosian•8/31/23, 4:07 AM

heri•8/31/23, 4:07 AM

because the way it's installed i believe

heri•8/31/23, 4:07 AM

it needs to setup and execute systemctl commands to setup nix

heri•8/31/23, 4:08 AM

and then you need to init fleek with the nix daemon running

heri•8/31/23, 4:08 AM

prebaking that may not be easy

Kyle Gospo•8/31/23, 4:08 AM

You should be able to use fleek here

Vosian•8/31/23, 4:08 AM

I see.

Kyle Gospo•8/31/23, 4:08 AM

If I need to add something to the image for it to work I'm happy to do that

KKyle Gospo You should be able to use fleek here

heri•8/31/23, 4:08 AM

oh thats what you mean

KKyle Gospo You should be able to use fleek here

Vosian•8/31/23, 4:09 AM

Correct. I've started playing with it and it really seems nice.

heri•8/31/23, 4:09 AM

yes it works on bazzite, just not preinstalled

Vosian•8/31/23, 4:18 AM

Yeah, as far as I can see, fleek takes the pain out of using nix with a simple fleek add -a package_namefleek add -a package_name or fleek remove...fleek remove.... Additionally, the convenience of just adding or removing packages from the fleek.yml file and doing fleek applyfleek apply is great too. If there's ever a plan to put a nix option in by default, I'd vote for this.

I'm not against installing fleek with nix by default

Idk what valve was cooking but for whatever reason steamos would crash my network

Sabrina~(Jen)•8/31/23, 4:24 AM

Not disconnect

Sabrina~(Jen)•8/31/23, 4:24 AM

It would crash the router

heri•8/31/23, 4:24 AM

wow wtf

Vosian•8/31/23, 4:25 AM

Fleek by default would be awesome. Then the only thing needed would be to fix it so that apps pick up the default mouse cursor theme. I am trying to figure out how to do that now.

Sabrina~(Jen)•8/31/23, 4:25 AM

It is a 0.000000000000001% thing to happen

Sabrina~(Jen)•8/31/23, 4:25 AM

Everywhere else it wouldn't have a problem

Sabrina~(Jen)•8/31/23, 4:25 AM

And on Ethernet no issues

Sabrina~(Jen)•8/31/23, 4:25 AM

So steamos apparently has fucked wifi drivers

Sabrina~(Jen)•8/31/23, 4:26 AM

Where if your setup is either too old or too niche it just
