idk I was using a 12 year old cpu and it worked fine for gaming. Only upgraded because I wanted to compile stuff in reasonable timeframes.

Imo its understandable since he’s going to have to live in russia for the rest of his life if he doesn’t want to live in a US prison for the rest of his life.

What

VR is not good on Linux lmao. I have a valve index and when I used it on linux, it had super bright lights on the edges of the display. I ignored this and played for like 30 mins and after 1 month of no VR usage (busyness), I tested it on windows again and now the edges of my displays in my headset appear to be permanently tinged slightly lighter than the rest of the screen.

I’m not using my headset on linux again until people spend more time coding, because I don’t want to permanently ruin expensive gear that I have lmao.

But they just personally don’t want that on their instance while they create the lemmy software that allows for everyone to speak their opinions.

Ok I found this post like a week late, but TikTok bought a VR company called Pico several years ago and they were investing money into new software and headsets, but recently cancelled all of their planned games. They are still making a new headset, but they also seemed to cancel their entry into the US market. They also had a ton of layoffs last year.

So basically, I think they’ve lost interest in VR.

Nix is a programming language, so you have to organize your configuration yourself like you would for any programming project, usually by splitting it into multiple files. Also you can search system modules on the same page that you search for packages though usually there’s not much of an explanation for what it does outside of reading the source code.

System modules use the package from the repository while enabling some systemd stuff and whatever other options that you will want enabled with it. On a single user system, there is no meaningful difference between system packages and user packages.

Home-manager can be used to manage files in your home directory, like your configs for apps and stuff. It also can have more module options for apps so you can set up their settings declaratively. Its not for everyone but this is what its supposed to do, outside of your normal nix configuration.

Nix flakes aren’t a way to install packages, but a way to manage the nix based projects which include nix packages and your nixos configuration and is supposed to make it more reproducible, so its not directly related to installing packages. However if a package for something isn’t in the repos, someone may make a nix flake for installing and building the package.

Its understandable that you are having trouble though, because the documentation for nix and nixos is terrible, and it only got better for me once I actually spent time learning the nix programming language.

Its kinda annoying for anyone not on debian or fedora (and derivatives) though.

Highschooler here, everyone already uses vpn’s to bypass the school firewall to view blocked sites and stuff while on school wifi.

Yeah noticed this when I started to make chatgpt write more sentences in essay’s I was doing. When you make chatgpt write the next sentence in a paragraph 9/10 times it just rewrites what you wrote in a different way.

Try using distrobox arch. I did that on nixos and after some troubleshooting I got it to work.

Looks like there’s an emacs package for elastic tab stops.

If you use org mode, you can use this https://github.com/misohena/el-easydraw. Its a basic drawing tool in emacs.

The nix package manager can be used on any os and doesn’t require usage of the nix programming language…

There are tons of tlds with arbritrary unicode characters

flatpak run also doing that

The org.foo.bar thing is done so that multiple packages with the same name can coexist. It’s a design choice, not something that gets fixed. It would be nice to be able to type in the name of the package and it looks for the package like in flatpak remove and install though.

I just listen to playlists that people make or youtube videos of song genres or artists that I like.

I just use distrobox on NixOS.

Its funny because a lot of people do this even though its completely unhelpful in solving their problem.
