I've found that the unstable branch of nixos has almost all the packages that I want / need at the bleeding edge. For more obscure packages I build from source.

Interested to hear what packages you were chasing that are outdated / not present.

Yeah that's funded by the brand, Logitech and other big brands would give me MDF and scanback on every product sold during a promotion (that was pushed by said brand). We would not make as much margins per unit sold but we would move bulk product.

MDF would go to the internal marketing team for producing assets / promoting on our socials. Marketing would also give statistics on volume of products in promotion sold, click through rate / views / audience. All highly sought after statistics.

Grey market importers would have products at a cheaper buy price but would not qualify for scanback.

One person from my team had committed a PO for the wrong quantity of a product (100 units instead of 10)

But due to our good relationship that brand helped us run a promotion on that product which ended up being exclusive to our stores and moved lots of flight sticks. We wouldn't have that kind of support if we were purchasing from a grey market importer.

The other side of retail is a fun experience, but for hardly above minimum Australian wage it wasn't worth the stress.

Edit: Speaking of LOGI, they were a great bunch to be on the good side of. New release products had stellar margins for our stores, as long as we kept on the MSRP, not following MSRP would lead for us not not receive initial batches of stocks on future launches.

Yeah I use nix 😅

I think the idea of a (relatively) simple or as complex "roll your own flavour" OS makes lots of sense to someone like me. For most people the effort might not be worth the payout.

Transmission running on the same machine? VM / Container?

I was using deluge for the longest time but went back to transmission in an lxc under proxmox.

Some more info about your config would help troubleshoot.

Interesting, the article isn't working well under translate and I can't see the frame time graphs on my phone. Does it state which kernel their running these games under or if these are x11 / Wayland?

If their just using the stock kernel there are probably some gains (even just minimal) using another with some tweaks.

Nix is like 20 years old, wasn't popular and still isn't 😅

Oh man, that's when they activate the ad blocker blocker blocker.

My nexus one had an OLED display iirc, thing had huge volumes of burnin after 12 months.

I've not seen burnin on any of my subsequent devices, my S10+ is still going strong since 2019. Shame about the Samsung soc.

You running anything from nix-hardware on your system? I know my laptop has a flake there that installs a few applications & fixes small things like hardware buttons for the ga401: https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware/blob/master/asus/zephyrus/ga401/default.nix

I'm running unstable on both machines, with nix-hardware for my laptop only.

Just don't run X applications 😅

I've seen no issues on my setup, might just be luck of the draw? What hyprland build are you running? What issues are you seeing?

Works fine on my laptop (1650 hybrid) and desktop (3070 no iGPU)

Under NixOS on both machines, no xwayland.

    
  programs.hyprland = {
    enable = true;
    enableNvidiaPatches = true;
  };


  

Is the basics to get it up and running under NixOS + HomeManager

Sounds like bait but I'll bite.

Most singleplayer titles work perfectly fine under Linux. Majority of my steam library runs with compatibility toggled in steam.

I've got a Switch Pro controller, no issues via Bluetooth or Cable connection. Gives me battery readouts via Dunst

Running Wayland with an NVIDIA GPU in both my systems.

I believe you can disable your Facebook account but still use Messenger, couple of my friends don't have a profile but can still message.

Depends on where you live, Australia I believe use Messenger more than other applications.

WhatsApp didn't catch on here outside of the big cities.

Yeah since using NIX for a couple of months now I moved away from KDE, you could customize KDE with home-manager however you would be writing out stacks of home.file lines as KDE is all over the shop when it comes to configuration. IIRC there is a module for KDE to help however it looked like a bigger time sink than I wanted.

For example my hyprpaper config is as such:

    
home.file."dots/config/hypr/hyprpaper.conf" = {
    text = ''
      preload = ~/nixos/wallpaper/1.jpg
      preload = ~/nixos/wallpaper/2.jpg
      preload = ~/nixos/wallpaper/3.jpg
      preload = ~/nixos/wallpaper/4.jpg
      wallpaper = eDP-1, ~/nixos/wallpaper/1.jpg
    '';
  };

  

Same can be done for KDE's config however you'll run into issues changing settings manually from memory. I'm quite happy with hyprland as there are less moving parts compared to a complete package (gnome / kde), everything that's installed (probably) has a purpose for my use-case.

That's why I love Nix, moving my hyprland configuration from my laptop to my desktop was almost seamless. All my keybinds, wallpapers and applications were up and running with a couple of commands.

There are a couple of hardware specific configs for my laptop and desktop but once I split those out it's smooth sailing.

Being on NIX I'm very jealous of the volumes of documentation for Arch. Found my way to the Arch wiki a few times.
