I’m currently running Arch and it’s great, but I’m noticing I’m not staying on the ball in regards to updates. I’ve been reading a bit about Nix and NixOS and thinking of trying it as my daily driver. I’ve got a Lenovo x1 xtreme laptop, I don’t do much gaming (except OSRS), use firefox, jetbrains stuff, bitwarden, remmina, obsidian, and docker.
Is anyone running NixOS as their daily? How are you liking it and are there any pitfalls / stuff you wish you knew before?
Yes! It’s honestly great of you can accept not going outside of the nixpkgs ecosystem. I’m not enough of a wizard yet to do much more than build a fhs environment to run some outside apps, but for the most part nixos has everything. Oh except KDE didn’t have working network manager integration, buuut that was probably something I didn’t set up correctly in my nixos config
I do reboot into Ubuntu for Minecraft, but nothing else
Networkmanager with Plasma works fine on my notebook, it should be rather trivial
I’m sure it’s something I did. Switching to KDE then back to gnome also broke my gnome shell cursors, probably with a config in my user profile :P a project for another day…
FYI: Minecraft and PrismLauncher are packaged.
Does prismlauncher do bedrock edition? I saw that mcpelauncher is on its way, that’s what I’m using on Ubuntu
It does not. Prism Launcher only supports the Java version of the game at this time.
Someone looks to have wrapped MCPELauncher in a flake however which may work. It appears to just wrap the AppImage version of it which seems promising.
Nope, Prism doesn’t do bedrock.
Oh you meant the bastardised version of Minecraft. Yeah, that’s not packaged I believe.
That’s the one!! 😁
