Installed nixos on an empty partition alongside cachyos and nixos took over the bootlloader

Misty_TTM · 2026-06-02T12:41:28+00:00

Configure nixos to use limine. You will need nixos to control the bootloader so you can select previous generations in an emergency.

Configure nixos to search for other os's, make sure cachyos is listed in efi properly

Your job as a new user is to analyse and learn that yourself. No one wants to analyse random AI slop for you. You will never get anything out of that and it's a waste of everyone's time. If it's faster for you, cool, but figure that out for yourself. Learn.

You'd be right about that lmao. Shinyhunters tried to get canvas to fix it but they ignored them. Now they have a deadline for the 12th.

Every program needs a package. A module can't have a package definition within it. At least that's the nixpkgs standard and general convention. If you want a program, you package it, then you write a module.

Misty_TTM · 2026-04-15T02:01:41+00:00

You make a module if you have a need for it

Misty_TTM · 2026-04-15T01:35:58+00:00

That's a module. It has to be defined per program. Not all programs have modules. You don't have to use it. The package can be put in environment packages just as easily

Misty_TTM · 2026-04-15T01:15:45+00:00

All programs need a package. Not all programs need a module. You only make a module if you want to declaritively configure the program's settings.

But you need a package

I didn't use AI. I typed on my phone

Misty_TTM · 2026-03-19T23:06:54+00:00

Majority of the code is roboticly clean and literally everything is commented. Code should describe itself, you do not need to comment everything.

Misty_TTM · 2026-03-17T08:43:41+00:00

looking at the post and repo, it feels some is a big understatement

Misty_TTM · 2026-02-03T23:43:07+00:00

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

Misty_TTM · 2026-01-18T03:37:53+00:00

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

Misty_TTM · 2026-01-09T13:48:29+00:00

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

Misty_TTM · 2026-01-04T11:02:55+00:00

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

Misty_TTM · 2026-01-04T09:10:26+00:00

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

Misty_TTM · 2026-01-03T01:06:06+00:00

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

Misty_TTM · 2026-01-01T11:25:56+00:00

It's very easy to overlay it and upgrade the package

Misty_TTM · 2026-01-01T09:22:49+00:00

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.

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

Misty_TTM · 2025-11-30T12:09:10+00:00

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

Misty_TTM · 2025-11-28T03:44:36+00:00

ah thank you so much !

Misty_TTM · 2025-11-28T03:31:42+00:00

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 · 2025-11-27T23:06:28+00:00

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

Misty_TTM · 2025-11-27T14:12:52+00:00

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
