Nothing about networking?

Writing poetry => meth + crack???

You can’t configure an immutable distro by a sequence of mutations.

Isn’t that literally how ostree works?

NixOS

Use udev rules to get a stable name.

You should say “unstable channel”. It’s literally just a rolling release that pulls from the nixpkgs master branch. So it’s only as stable as it needs to be to pass the Hydra CI tests.

And if you get to a working version, you can pin that as a Nix flake to avoid anything breaking until the next time you nix flake update.

Seems like a perfectly cromulent English sentence to me.

So we’re reinventing scp now?

Only because IPv6 and self-hosting are not mainstream yet. But if it were commonplace for everyone’s home to have something as simple as a public file server or SSH server, then this problem would be trivialized.

Well I guess I can give my opinion as a former VSCode and Vim user that migrated to Helix. @shadowedcross@sh.itjust.works was curious too.

Way back when, I used Sublime Text and got proficient with those keyboard shortcuts. Then VSCode eclipsed (pun unintended) Sublime, so I switched and I was thankfully able to keep using Sublime key bindings. I was also productive with VSCode, except it wasn’t popular at the company I was working at, where most people used Vim. I ended up learning a bit of Vim for pair programming, but I still clinged to VSCode, even though it lacked proper support for connecting to a VM via SSH (which was a very common workflow).

At some point I realized that it was important to have a totally keyboard-centric workflow to level up my productivity and ergonomics, and being able to use a mouse in VSCode was hindering my progress. So I tried NeoVim, and it was kind of a nightmare. I know many people enjoy tinkering with Lua to get NeoVim working as they want, but I found it more of a barrier to productivity than anything else.

So then I learned about Helix, and it seemed like a love letter to devs that just want a modal in-terminal editor that works out of the box and has modern features like LSP support, DAP, etc. Also it’s written in Rust by good maintainers. I haven’t looked back, because the Helix + Tmux combo is incredibly versatile.

I think it mostly has to do with how coupled your code modules are. If you have a lot of tightly coupled modules/libraries/apps/etc, then it makes sense to put them in the same repo so that changes that ultimately have a large blast radius can be handled within a single repo instead of spanning many repos.

And that’s just a judgement call based on code organization and team organization.

So I’m seeing “Window Protocol: wayland” in about:support. Seems like somehow I’m just not affected by this issue.

Away from PC for a while but I’ll check when I’m back.

Interesting. I am not having any issues with Firefox. Maybe I’m already running in XWayland somehow?

After a little more time with it, I’ve noticed that nvidia + sway is causing a lot of flickering on updating rectangles of any window, presumably from a compositing issue. I expected the “explicit sync” fix in the 555 Nvidia driver to fix this, but I’m currently running 555.85. I hope it’s not some other issue.

So right off the bat I tried rebasing from Fedora Sway Atomic to the Wayblue sway-nvidia image, but I got the error:

Package 'rpmfusion-nonfree-release-40-1.noarch' is already in the base

I think because I had previously tried installing nvidia drivers from RPM Fusion. So I reset back to the base image with:

rpm-ostree reset --overlays

After that everything went smoothly and I’m apparently booted with a functional Nvidia driver. Thanks for the help! I’m off to try running some graphics.

Oh thanks! I didn’t notice “Sericea” was the name of this image when I installed it. Wish that had been more obvious.

Wait. Where are you finding the sway image? I’m browsing the images but I don’t see it.

EDIT: Maybe it’s only Way blue that has sway?

Oh I didn’t realize they had one with Sway. That helps!

Thanks! I had seen the ublue template, but not that blue build tool. Will check it out.
