I stopped using them altogether when my job provisioned a YubiKey. Got one for personal usage and it’s pretty solid for just about everything I’d have used a fingerprint sensor for.

I’ve just assumed they don’t care. They’ve done scummy shit for years, and it doesn’t really matter because they’ll still sell massive amounts of their first-party titles. So any bad faith they garner with a subset of their audience or old fans is just dust in the wind since it won’t ultimately impact sales.
Would be really cool to see these new Snapdragon X Elite laptops shipping with Linux.
Battlefield 3 or 4 and Halo MCC. Also Skullgirls.
Watching CinemaSins so much, I get inclined to go “Roll Credits!” anytime I hear someone mention the title of the movie they’re in lol.
No particular order to these.
I can write a better guide if people want.
Please do if you get some time this sounds amazing
+1 for Helix. I found it recently and it feels way easier to make changes and add support for new languages.
It would be the exact same amount of effort you’d use to get new software on other distros. Both Arch and NixOS have very straightforward methods of installing new software that aren’t any more difficult than doing so on Debian or some other distro. Both Arch and NixOS support independent package managers like flatpak and snap + they support Appimages.
I’d also add that OP doesn’t even need to use NixOS to use nix packages, whereas Arch or Debian would require systems based on those distros. So if anything NixOS tries to make it very easy to add and configure software. Where does all the effort come in?
He’s in a bathrobe in all of these lol
No that’s “predestination”. You’re thinking of the process by which carbohydrates are synthesized from carbon dioxide and a source of hydrogen, using light as an energy source.
Hell yea! I try to play old retro games with the family as the seasons change. This year I’m going to show them some of my favorite PSX titles
Smart man. Ordering cheese sandwiches to go with the tomato soup he’ll have at home
Pretty neat. You can use this with RPCS3. Unfortunately it’s probably a matter of time before Take-Two/Rockstar ruin all the fun as they’ve historically done with fan projects.
On a golden parachute I’m sure.
For what it’s worth, I don’t understand the nix language or all the package manager functions in their entirety. I generally use what I need and that’s it. Most information I’ve required that is nixpkgs
-specific I was able to find in the manual. home-manager has one as well and it’s been the best reference for me.
If so, how does that solve the problem of clutter in $HOME ?
If it wasn’t clear from my message, the problem(s) these tools are solving for me would be 1. not having to keep track of my dotfiles and their directories, and 2. not storing configuration files directly on the disk I use for the $HOME
dir. I’m not claiming these tools would solve clutter in the $HOME
dir. Further, I think it should be alright for me to share tools for managing configuration files in your home directory in a discussion that directly relates to that subject.
So you create a symlink from $HOME/.program.ini to something in the nix store?
Normally it’s the other way around. When you use nix and home-manager, you’re technically generating files that will live in the nix-store and nix/home-manager will take care of symlinking those files to locations in your $HOME
dir.
In this scenario though, I would use the https://nix-community.github.io/home-manager/options.html#opt-home.file option from home-manager to create a symlinks to a location that’s outside of my $HOME
dir so those files don’t have to live on my home disk.
My particular use-case is that I want persistent configuration files that are shared throughout a handful of devices on my network. To this end, I use some home-manager symlinks that lead to a network folder where all these various directories and configuration files actually live. I edit those configurations in a single place and their changes propagate across the network to all the devices that would use them.
Obligatory Fuck you, pay me.
