  • Are NixOS / Guix SD / Gentoo good choices for development?

    Jump

  • Yeah Ive been using hy-lang about half the time I have to do things in python; so I would assume weirdness is bound to occur :). Yeah I believe someone else mentioned that it could be used as a standalone package manager so I shall look into this.

  • Yeah thats a good idea. I know that guix can be used as standalone package manager but I didn't know you could do that with nix as well. I shall look more into that, thanks

    Jump

  • Yeah one of the reasons I was looking into Guix was because it has a lisp based configuration. (I use emacs semi regularly so I imagine guix would fit into the emacs config mindset well).

  • I am a hobbyist programming language developer so I program in a lot of different languages (c, rust, go, js, python, various lisps, forths, esoteric langs). I did read an interesting article about someone daily driving Debian Sid, so maybe I will look closer into that. I also have heard of a distro called rhino linux which is supposed to be a "rolling release ubuntu". Yeah I always forget that docker dev containers are an option, maybe I should look into that more.

  • Many years ago now I was told that we needed a way to turn a series of lights on and off for a custom bit of hardware. The hardware ran a Unix-like system so I decided that a daemon would be a good fit for the use case. I do not know what has become of my daemon of light but I do know whomever uses it must call the “summon” function to daemonize the process

  • How to Install KDE Plasma on Linux Mint 22

    Jump

  • From what I heard one component was that it was difficult to line up the release dates between updating the Ubuntu base and KDE because Ubuntu uses GNOME and they line up their release dates with that

  • Dealing with games that just won't run on Linux

    Jump

  • It kinda depends on what games you are using.

    If they are online only with anti cheat dual booting is the only viable solution because most anti cheat’s that don’t work with Linux/proton will flag you as cheating if you try to use a vm.

    If its some older game its prolly better to use a vm for that OS, lien a lot of old games for windows XP or windows 95 are like that. For really old ones you can just use dosbox which is very tried and true.

    If it’s just some random game that doesn’t work I either A: figure it will get working in some way eventually or B: give up on ever playing it again.

    I think I’m at the point where if a new game comes out and it didn’t work on Linux I just wouldn’t buy it. But I might be an outlier since most of the games I like usually get a Linux port or will work with proton anyways

  • What is/was your distrohopping journey?

    Jump

  • Classic Mac OS 7.5.3 -> 8.5 -> 9.2 -> Windows 2000 -> XP -> Vista -> 7 -> 8.1 -> 10 -> Pop!_OS (for a few years but eventually wanted a KDE based distro) -> Garuda Linux (for a few years but wanted to try out nobara for gaming) -> Nobara (for now, great for gaming, frustrating for programming because of package differences) and other unknown reasons)

  • Install deb packages with its dependencies manually on mac mini - Broadcom firmware

  • The Linux mint live installer comes with the bcmwl-kernel-source package which will allow you to install it. It worked on my 2013 MacBook Pro which uses a Broadcom chip
