That is why I said that I still know how to use basic Unix tools. If I am debugging something so frequently that I feel that I need to install my Nix configuration just to get productive there is something clearly going wrong. For example,

One of the reasons I really like Nix, my setup works basically everywhere (as long the host OS is either Linux or macOS, but those are the only 2 environments that I care). I don't even need root access to install Nix since there are m

Actually, now that I think about this could be that my system is set to autologin (I am using Jovian-NixOS to get a almost SteamOS experience), so maybe this is not KDE being smart and could just be that it crashed and the system automatica

A Sapphire Radeon 9070 as the external GPU and a Ryzen 7 7600 as the integrated GPU. But I don't recommend this particular model for the 9070 if you want to do VFIO, it has the infamous reset bug so after booting the VM once I can&#x27

I am not sure if this is relevant because most of the things listed there are not problems anymore. X11 is mostly replaced with Wayland, VSync generally just works, we have lightweight Compositors now. Heck, the other day I was messing with

Without looking at the source code I think it is because the log functions are lowercase, but I am not sure this is the reason.

No, gaming revenue for NVIDIA was historically the major revenue percentage from the company (up until 2023). Only with the recent AI boom this changed. Source (I am not sure how reliable this is because I got this from ChatGPT, but I remem

Yes, there are other examples like the recent Sonic Unleashed recomp. I never heard of a SEGA/Sonic game receiving a cease-and-desist letter or anything similar.

But in this case it is not like you're in the bleeding edge (you aren't anyway since Pop OS is based on Ubuntu LTS that is already a more conservative distribution even when a new version is released), you're in a stable dist

Yes, I didn't even know they didn't had a version based on the last LTS (that was release more than 1 year ago). Especially considering that they have a strong focus for developers, and developers in general wants the new-ish libr

Thanks, this is very interesting. So the old native runtime was basically a messy hacky using LD_LIBRARY_PATH and Ubuntu 12.04 libraries, and now they're using containers based on Debian 10 (Steam Runtime 2 'soldier') or Debi

For those use cases that I love my Chromebook. Underpowered, yes, but also it can basically sleep forever and also wakes up from sleep fast. Even if I need to turn it on if it is powered off it takes just a few seconds to boot.

My goal is really... Nothing, I guess? I write things that I found interesting. If you look at the submission I wasn't even the person that did it, someone else found it and posted it here. My blog is not for other humans, it is mostly

This is my personal blog and I can be as unbiased as I want, but saying that I am "proud of Linux" would be misguided at best. I could write one long blog post about all the issues I have using Linux desktop, but I can also write

Hey, since you're here, let me complain about an issue I found this morning. As I said in my blog post, my current setup involves my desktop being connected in the TV and monitor at the same time. Right now I have the TV disabled, but

I meant performance wise. Of course using day to day usage is really different between the two, but for things like opening applications and etc. I can't find much difference between Sway and KDE except for the animations.

Because I had a good experience with KDE on SteamOS. This whole system is setup as a SteamOS-like experience using Jovian-NixOS (I wrote about it here: https://kokada.dev/blog/from-gaming-rig-to-personal-computer... ).

Author here: I didn't tested but it seems in NixOS you can exclude any of the included applications using the `environment.plasma6.excludePackages` option. I am not sure if this breaks anything though, and of course, this doesn't

Author here: yes, I knew about this, but the fact that I don't remember exactly which key I need to hold shows why I hate this approach from macOS where "advanced" features are hidden behind shortcuts.
