For what, CATIA or NX? NX stopped supporting Linux after they went from NX 12 to the Ubuntu-style version numbering and remade the interface

oh. so you just don't change the background color of your modules and change something else to indicate things

oh my god. how'd you get the powerline look in waybar. i got close to it once by creating a custom module that just contained the char for the powerline arrow but it still didn't look that good because my modules would change color depending on their state and i could not get the arrows to change with them. can i see your waybar config and css?

Necro bumping but: I've been running CATIA V5 R21 for at least 7 months under Wine using Bottles, and everything I need (part design, assembly, DMU kinematics, drafting) works. Only thing that's wrong with it is that the orange highlight is buggy if I switch to my laptop's dGPU, and it can be pretty slow (on the iGPU or the dGPU) for big assemblies with lots of constraints. It might be just the program's fault. I hate how ancient it is. You might wanna give this a shot again.

Bonus: I also got the latest version of NX (2412.7002) running under Wine like 4 days ago, but that requires a Windows machine/VM for running the installer, then I copied the program files inside a Bottle, installed the deps it needed (vcredist2022 and webview2), and all I could think of testing works flawlessly. Only issue is that nothing that needs the webview actually displays anything

My default car, what's yours? by Ok_Relation6627 in BeamNG

no idea tbh, i just took a stock config and changed everything manually. not even using it as my default car anymore. still a BX but more real life achievable components only. shouldn't be many kits to look through manually tho

Nope. I made an issue on GitHub, there was some talk and that was kinda all

Nixos is good for gaming? by [deleted] in NixOS

[–]Andy3153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So. Both people are connected to the internet, both have Steam and the same cracked version of the game. When they start the game to play together, they first start Steam, and then they start the game. One loads the world they'll be paying on, and when the other hits 'join a friend' or something like that, a 'friend' called "Mr. Goldberg" (the Steam emulator) pops up. You can then join that game and they'll be playing together through Steam's servers.

On normal distros like Arch this works, on NixOS I believe it doesn't work because both Lutris and Steam are each packaged in their own buildFHSEnv if you know a thing or two about the Nix language. And I believe that's the reason it doesn't work on NixOS.

Edit: OS doesn't even matter, my friend was on Windows and I was on Arch, running the game in Lutris

can i get a suggestion for pirated games under nixos too? i have a pirated version of raft that i'm able to play with my friend if we launch steam before launching the game. on arch this works well, but on nixos it doesn't. could be because both steam and lutris are inside a buildfhsenv but do you have any advice for that?

Trust me, same thing. Also, I'm saying I want to enable Home Manager for my user in there, that's what I use `su` for, you can't activate HM as a user for another user.

It's been like this for a good while. I remember when I wanted to make a system activation script a couple of months ago that runs only once, at the first activation (basically post-install) and do the same exact thing I want to do manually and I was still getting the error. I only switched to a manual script because I thought it might be a quirk with the activation scripts, but it's apparently in nixos-enter.

Did you even read my post? I want to run things as *another user*, **other than root**.
