Brew & Distrobox replace it

IIris what exactly is the issue with layering?

dependency issues just like a traditional package manager + slower updates + those dependency issues break updates especially for major releases

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/27/24, 4:36 AM

yeah

IIris what exactly is the issue with layering?

Kyle GospoOP•6/27/24, 4:36 AM

what you mentioned + slower

Kyle GospoOP•6/27/24, 4:37 AM

I wouldn't call them issues, these are just differences

KKyle Gospo Brew & Distrobox replace it

imide•6/27/24, 4:37 AM

i use nixpacks and devenv however

Kyle GospoOP•6/27/24, 4:37 AM

Bazzite is an atomic image, things are just done very differently

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/27/24, 4:37 AM

yeah this is just fedora atomic desktop but gaming packages/tweaks out of the box

imide•6/27/24, 4:37 AM

they have features that distrobox and brew cannot

Iris•6/27/24, 4:37 AM

I mostly want to install a window manager at some point to replace gnome, but i suppose at that point I could just fork the template right?

Saki•6/27/24, 4:37 AM

Well if you want to install a lot of weird shit not in brew nor flatpak and you don't want to use a container, then yeah this would not be the distro for you

Iimide they have features that distrobox and brew cannot

Kyle GospoOP•6/27/24, 4:37 AM

your only option would be to use the nix installer & disable selinux

Kyle GospoOP•6/27/24, 4:37 AM

obviously we cannot ship that to end users, but nothing stops you from doing it

SSaki Well if you want to install a lot of weird shit not in brew nor flatpak and you ...

imide•6/27/24, 4:37 AM

i mean i use containers a lot

imide•6/27/24, 4:38 AM

but my issue is my main browser (thorium) isnt flatpak

Iimide but my issue is my main browser (thorium) isnt flatpak

Kyle GospoOP•6/27/24, 4:38 AM

distrobox candidate for sure

imide•6/27/24, 4:38 AM

and im already terrible at not fucking things up lmao

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/27/24, 4:38 AM

distrobox is not that scary

Iris•6/27/24, 4:38 AM

like i get the idea of everything being brew/distroboxable, but as far as I know wayland compositors can't really be done via those

Iris•6/27/24, 4:38 AM

unless they can and I'm just stupid

Ttryhardsoccermomswag distrobox is not that scary

imide•6/27/24, 4:39 AM

as a fucking moron, it is for me

IIris like i get the idea of everything being brew/distroboxable, but as far as I know...

Kyle GospoOP•6/27/24, 4:39 AM

wayland compositing works fine via distrobox

Kyle GospoOP•6/27/24, 4:39 AM

xwayland does not because you have to be root to create a new public x session

Kyle GospoOP•6/27/24, 4:39 AM

and no, that does not mean xwayland apps don't work via distrobox

Iimide as a fucking moron, it is for me 😭

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/27/24, 4:39 AM

worst thing that can happen is your home directory being filled with junk files

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/27/24, 4:39 AM

its a container

sunshine on gnome bug

Iris•6/27/24, 4:39 AM

so I could install something like hyprland in a distrobox and replace gnome with it?

Kyle GospoOP•6/27/24, 4:40 AM

you could, replacing gnome is another story entirely

Kyle GospoOP•6/27/24, 4:40 AM

probably a better candidate for a custom image

Iris•6/27/24, 4:40 AM

yeah that was my thinking

KKyle Gospo you could, replacing gnome is another story entirely

imide•6/27/24, 4:41 AM

there is gNo escape

Iris•6/27/24, 4:41 AM

it's an issue for later anyway, ricing my deck will take a while anyway. but wouldn't a custom image that doesn't use gnome or kde break the seamless desktop/gamescope switching?

Kyle GospoOP•6/27/24, 4:41 AM

yes, someone made a hyprland-deck image

Kyle GospoOP•6/27/24, 4:41 AM

but the keyboard sucks ass

Iris•6/27/24, 4:41 AM

thankfully I don't really use the touch keyboard in desktop mode

Kyle GospoOP•6/27/24, 4:41 AM

and it took a lot of work to hook it all up
