As much as I will never touch the DE ever again, GNOME's reliance on simple text files made it an absolute joy to use with Nix home-manager. I would be 100% on board with using gnome settings infra across the board.
- tmtvl 1y agoGNOME settings? Where you need to use 3 different applications to change the settings (settings, tweaks, and dconf)? To be honest, it's been a while since I last tried GNOME, but I don't remember it being very convenient.
- doubled112 1y agoAnd dconf settings are stored in a binary database, aren't they?
- zamalek 1y agoOh, you're completely correct. I got confused by dconf dump and import (which is the text format), the latter home-manager does transparently. As for the grand parent comment, yeah, I guess the UI situation sucks - but I did everything through home-manager anyway.
