Correct title:
How to use your DSLR from 2008 as a webcam IN LINUX in 2022 (NixOS)
I wished people would not omiss such important information in title when writing articles or linking them wasting everyone's time including server traffic
- seabea 4y agoNixOS is Linux
- palata 4y agoWhich may someday replace Arch in the saying that Arch people never forget to mention they are using Arch :-).
- thomastjeffery 4y agoThroughout the article, they use NixOS specific features. You can't really follow this in Arch without installing Nix and changing some parts of the instructions.
- palata 4y agoYes but those are fairly straightforward commands that are not really relevant (the post is about using v4l2 and gphoto).
- Markoff 4y agoHow am I supposed to know that? I assumed it's some special custom firmware/OS for Nikon cameras before opening the link. You way overestimate popularity and general knowledge of some rare Linux distros even among IT guys.
