I just switched from Nobara to NixOS on my gaming PC. I’ve had NixOS on my laptop for almost a year and decided I’m comfortable enough with it to use it full time, and it works great for gaming.
Before NixOS, I was a die-hard Arch user. The only reasons it would break were because I was trying a bunch of stuff from AUR to play around with Wayland + Nvidia when that was brand new, or when I would forget to update for a while.
It breaking was primarily due to me tinkering around and not fully undoing those changes. Now I can do that with no fear on NixOS, and it’s fabulous.
A basic, local text-to-speech app using home assistant’s piper would be great. Feed it a document and have it read the document to you, highlighting along the way.
my current usage:
on my desktop:
- RX 7900 XTX
- Wifi 6 adapter
- 10Gbit SFP+ NIC
on my proxmox server:
- RTX 3080 (passed through to Debian VM)
- 16 drive HBA (passed through to TrueNAS VM)
- GT 730
- 10Gbit SFP+ NIC
I’ve also used USB PCIe cards to get more USB controllers for picky USB devices like USB capture cards and audio interfaces.
I still find windows and tabs to be a useful way to have a nested organizational structure for web browsing. To solve the visual issue, I permanently hide the tab bar, and I use tree-style tabs with css to auto-hide the tab panel unless my cursor is all the way on the left side of the window. I also have the toolbar autohide unless my cursor is at the top of the window.
Yeah, I needed something similar and made a new target that checks whether the system can reach a common website like google
I loaded NixOS on a 2014 macbook air, copying over my config from my framework laptop (just switching the hardware config), and it just works. I think pretty much any modern linux distro will work fine.
Same. It’s what drove me away and took me a week of free time to get back up and running on Arch. Manjaro makes me sick now.
OpenSUSE -> Ubuntu -> Windows for like a decade -> MacOS -> Arch -> Manjaro -> Arch -> Debian -> NixOS -> Nobara
Currently running NixOS on my laptop, Nobara on my Desktop, and Debian on my VMs under Proxmox.
I’ll probably jump from Nobara to Bazzite as soon as I start to have problems.
I’m gradually settling on immutable distros.
Yeah, the Nvidia bug caused me A LOT of headache. I love Debian, but I really only use it as a server OS. On my workstations, I prefer to have easier compatibility with new hardware and software.
Alacritty is really nice and easy to configure, and isn’t “tied” to any desktop environment, like Konsole is. Kitty is really cool for its implementation of image display. Foot is a Wayland-native alternative that is also really nice to use.
Looks cool. Their hosted service is still in Alpha, so I doubt my work would go for it.
That’s eventually the plan, but I expect that process to take on the order of a year, unfortunately.
I would LOVE to switch to codeberg for work, but my work requires that all data be hosted in the US, so I recently pitched GitLab as an alternative to GitHub, even though it’s not perfect.
Came here to link to this. Open hardware computers are a thing, they’re just really pricey.
The COPR package didn’t work for me on Nobara, so I had to build from source, but it works great. There are a couple of things I don’t like, but overall seems pretty neat.
If I can get Xwayland to work nicely for steam with high refresh rates, then it seems like this might be the WM for me until COSMIC-DE comes out.
I totally empathize. I did the same thing at the end of 2020 and just switched to an AMD GPU last month.
What hardware do you have? I have all AMD, and it works just fine on Nobara on Wayland.
To make life easier for yourself, I’d highly recommend running Linux on a separate drive. The Linux distribution installers I’ve used will install the bootloader on whatever drive you choose to install on, but the windows installer will use the storage controller’s port ordering to choose which drive to install on.
Your best bet is to simply disconnect the Windows drive when installing Linux and to disconnect the Linux drive when installing Windows, then just use the BIOS boot selection screen to choose which OS to boot into.
You can add your Windows drive to Grub and you might be able to add your Linux distro to your Windows bootloader, but keeping them entirely separate is probably best.
