  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Seriously, the learning curve of nixOS is still... exhausting. Couldn't get it to run with plasma 6 and wayland and the documentation is so incomplete.

    That's unfortunately true. There's a community effort to document stuff without going through the lengthy process of getting it approved by overworked maintainers: https://nixlang.wiki

    Feel free to contribute your learnings there.

    At least rolling back after you broke it was easy. :)

    When it's the first thing you tried after a fresh install, it's quite frustrating.

    [–] linearchaos@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

    Oh yeah, I've been running nix for a week, it can't even find plz6 after I added unstable and updated. Lost a couple hours to the attempt, rollback was 30 sec tho

    Are you starting fresh or did it work with another DE? Might help in tracking down the problem

    Fresh install on a VM. Was a bit confused that the default was Xorg. Changing both to wayland and to Plasma 6 was too complicated for me.

    With plasma 6, you need

    services.xserver.displayManager.defaultSession = "plasma";

    instead of " plasmawayland", since wayland has become the default

    [–] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 1 points 8 months ago

    But do I still need all that xserver.enabled = true business?
