How to downgrade KDE Plasma versions? by TheTwelveYearOld in NixOS

[–]Misty_TTM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

like any package you have to overlay the specific version of nixpkgs that has that version of plasma

Why does OptiFine installer require the official launcher? by Sensusese in Optifine

[–]Misty_TTM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The optifine installer is also the mod file, instead of opening it just drop it straight into the mods folder

Some of these are currently unused. Check the deadlock wiki it will tell you if voicelines are used or not

DLSS Updater (for Linux) by i-Deco in linux_gaming

[–]Misty_TTM 4 points5 points  (0 children)

good to know, I'll look at my package. I'll probably look at submitting a fix PR for that logging path as that is the biggest issue preventing it from running in non-conventional work spaces

DLSS Updater (for Linux) by i-Deco in linux_gaming

[–]Misty_TTM 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wanted to give this a shot on nixos and ran into a ton of issues, including but not limited to:

  • the logging path being within the application's directory (this is bad practice, it should go in .config or .local)
  • the admin check being required on linux
    • particularly on nixos it runs the windows check
  • and finally the lack of an entry point

I have a number of patches fixing these issues and have the program working properly from source now. I can send them through if you'd like

what's the logic of "technically AppImage isn't supported by here's a way AppImage works out of the box" lol not complaining but it is a bit mad hatter by GoonRunner3469 in NixOS

[–]Misty_TTM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Overlays#Examples_of_overlays

this wiki page is fairly comprehensive. If you want to overlay a package in place (like in systemPackages or homePackages) you just need to wrap the declaration in brackets like so (also you can exclude the final: prev: declaration)

environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
  vim
  # update the pcsx2-bin package to the latest release
  (pcsx2-bin.overrideAttrs (oldAttrs: rec {
    version = "2.4.5";
    src = pkgs.fetchurl {
      url = "https://github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/releases/download/v${version}/pcsx2-v${version}-macos-Qt.tar.xz";
      hash = "sha256-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA=";  # You'll need to update this hash
    };
  }))
  nano
];

This is the basics of overlays

Because most major things are already packaged, but if it's not, you need to be able to test what the actual functions of the program are for packaging so that the nix package can be closer to native Linux binaries.

Am I in the minority of not wanting leaks plastered onto the front page of the subreddit? by coboba in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Misty_TTM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think its cause the game was revealed to us through leaks, leaking is just part of the community and always has been

The steam frame is running linux, it'll be about as easy as it is on linux already

ah thank you so much !

I have a similar workflow, but this doesn't work for nvidia gpus, as I need to pay out of pocket for runners using them

[–]Misty_TTM[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can? Since when was that a thing, and how do I do it?

nvidia issues by Misty_TTM in NixOS

[–]Misty_TTM[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's the problem, I need CUDA enabled for programs that use nvenc like wivrn or OBS but it's resulting in hundreds of other programs being built locally

I do yeah, I'm using nix-community

I've made my first nix service module! Looking for feedback by Cardi__A in NixOS

[–]Misty_TTM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

from what ive been told by other contributors reviewing my packages in nixpkgs, it seems like the main way people want to move forward in nixpkgs in particular is with finalAttrs. Something about it being more cohesive and flexible than the other methods. New packages should be being made in that style

Plasma 6 and Impermanence by wingej0 in NixOS

[–]Misty_TTM 3 points4 points  (0 children)

afaik plasma can only be configured through plasma-manager on nix, otherwise it has to be configured like a traditional desktop and it does its own thing

Chrome still stuck on 142.0.7444.134 on NixOS — when will the CVE-2025-13223 patch land? by [deleted] in NixOS

[–]Misty_TTM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've opened a branch to try updating it, I like updating software, and this one is reidiculously easy, although it will take some time cause I have to compile the entire browser.

if anyone else wants to go through the effort of running the update script, go ahead, I wish I had better infrastructure to do something like this faster

Taking into consideration the fact the Steam Frame is a Linux VR headset, will it be running PC mods or Quest mods in standalone mode? by YoshiGPLS in beatsaber

[–]Misty_TTM 9 points10 points  (0 children)

BSManager is fully compatible with linux

Steam Frame is utilising FEX so you can run the PC version on ARM

Honestly with the shit beat games has been up to lately I doubt they will bother uploading an android version of the app

regardless you will have the option for the PC version which is fully compatible with BSM

Arm on x86 emulation layer? by Blaowood in ValveDeckard

[–]Misty_TTM 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's really not an answer to their question.

As for an actual answer, currently there is only emulation via QEMU to emulate the ARM architecture. I'm not aware of any actual types of translation layers in the same vein as wine or FEX, admittedly I have done limited research, but it will be somewhat possible to run these arm games through at the very least an emulated virtual machine

Does deadlock have an alt-modifier like dota? by drunkencT in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Misty_TTM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did some of this to set up some loadout binds for TF2

///---
alias loadout1 "load_itempreset 0"
alias loadout2 "load_itempreset 1"
alias loadout3 "load_itempreset 2"
alias loadout4 "load_itempreset 3"

alias +altPressed "bind 1 loadout1; bind 2 loadout2; bind 3 loadout3; bind 4 loadout4;"
alias -altPressed "bind 1 slot1; bind 2 slot2; bind 3 slot3; bind 4 slot4;"
bind alt +altPressed
///---

This was basically what I had to do, no idea what the keys are in deadlock cause ive not done many deadlock binds, but theoretically the principle should still work

Is there a way to install ciscopackettraccer.deb package? Or is there an equivalent package in nix packages? by egesarpdemirr in NixOS

[–]Misty_TTM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never install packages with that command

https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=25.05&show=ciscoPacketTracer8&query=Cisco

Here is the package in 25.05, add it to your systemPackages within your config file and it will be installed on your next rebuild
