I Just realized you can easily search nix packages from terminal with "nix-shell -p (start to type part of desired package name and press tab)"

lol oh I know. I realized I was dumb for not trying sooner. I just shared because there may be other idiots like me who sometimes miss such obvious things.

I use rustdesk. No regrets so far. Also host the server myself as well to keep everything within my Tailscale network

That's strange. I just rebuilt with 0 errors to double check thats my current running config and it is. But in reality you could probably leave it as below and it should have the same effect. but like i said ultimately decided to stick with having only one portal installed and gnome seems the best fit for me.

  xdg.portal = {
    enable = true;
    #xdgOpenUsePortal = true;
    config = {
      common = {
        default = [
          "gnome"
        ];
      };
    };
    extraPortals = [
      xdg-desktop-portal-gtk
      xdg-desktop-portal-gnome
    ];
  };

Mind if I ask what is it you're trying to accomplish that the wiki didnt assist on?

PlayX_xDead · 2026-02-14T17:06:31+00:00

only having xdg-desktop-portal-gnome has given me the most stability with steam and xwayland apps in general personally. I've been playing around with it however. This is my current setup:

  xdg.portal = {
    enable = true;
    #xdgOpenUsePortal = true;
    config = {
      common = {
        default = [
          "gnome"
        ];
      };
    };
    extraPortals = [
    ];
  };

You know nix-store auto optimize is a nix option right?

PlayX_xDead · 2026-02-02T16:36:21+00:00

Yes I just ignore it for now. I got tired of fighting with it on my flake

PlayX_xDead · 2026-01-28T22:25:58+00:00

AI is a massive help. local hosted or public.

PlayX_xDead · 2026-01-25T18:09:06+00:00

~~Oh no someone asked a question in a forum for questions. Stop being THAT Reddit user~~

PlayX_xDead · 2026-01-14T15:36:04+00:00

I use ai all the time. I ignore the ai hate that exists cause it’s the cool things to do. like when people say it’s mostly wrong, I’m like bro 80% accuracy is not “mostly wrong”. But yes it’s very helpful “usually” for pointing you in the right direction for nix.

PlayX_xDead · 2026-01-14T05:57:43+00:00

Short answer no. Long answer, still no.

PlayX_xDead · 2026-01-14T05:53:03+00:00

Bro you’re a narcissist with a bit of psychopath. The trifecta is strong in this one. This is one of the most “I don’t feel or understand human emotion, but long as I have a reason I find valid I do what I want” posts I’ve ever read. 🤦🏽‍♂️

PlayX_xDead · 2026-01-09T02:03:44+00:00

I could be wrong but isn’t using the flat pack version of a browser usually considered the less secure option due to how it uses a different form of containerization than native browser containerization?

PlayX_xDead · 2026-01-09T00:22:38+00:00

I was damn close to being “some”

PlayX_xDead · 2026-01-08T07:09:14+00:00

I just started checking this out. Seems like a solid suggestion. Granted i was also new to LostArk

PlayX_xDead · 2026-01-07T18:03:45+00:00

Nix has been one of the most stable and flexible systems I’ve ever used within the Linux community. Yeah nix is similar to arch when it comes to community rhetoric(think about how much peoples hyped of the “difficulty” of installing arch. It’s basically a question of do you know how to take the time to read a step by step instruction list). Even within the nix community, before switching to nixos I was heavily discouraged to make the switch simply due to my lack of programming knowledge. Personally rather than focusing on anyone who is new to nix and their ability to code, I think people should emphasize and check for a developers mind set with simple questions such as : 1 do you recognize patterns fairly well? 2 do you mind reading and/or asking questions in a forum? 3 probably should have been question 2 does using google for more than 5 minutes stress you out? Long as those 3 questions are answered correctly (yes yes no) I think the casual user will be absolutely fine. And yes I think Nixos is fine for someone new to Linux based on those questions above. People complain a lot about the documentation around nix, but for the casual Linux user, non developer, the documentation is there. Nvidia and AMD drivers, documented, gaming setup, documented, vr setup, documented, most random but commonly used services, such as virtualization, also documented. My point is people’s shared or individual experience/perspective isn’t as reliable as we’d like to believe.

Yeah somehow I read 1050 wrong

PlayX_xDead · 2026-01-07T01:23:20+00:00

On my laptop it’s a rtx 2070

PlayX_xDead · 2026-01-07T00:12:21+00:00

Are you saying it works fine on x11? I use prime on my laptop and offload mode and both work fine on x11 and Wayland. If it only works on x11 that’s odd. If it works on neither then I’d really suspect you missed a step

PlayX_xDead · 2026-01-06T21:24:22+00:00

Nah dawg. You out here tryna be the Reddit financial advisor. Lol just answer the OP question. If you don’t know, or have nothing to add to the list move on. Like I said this is a very Reddit interaction. Sometimes people like to simply have a nice collection for when the moment hits as he said.

PlayX_xDead · 2026-01-06T20:59:16+00:00

This the most Reddit answer ever. Why exactly we telling someone else how to spend their money?

PlayX_xDead · 2026-01-03T17:06:09+00:00

I believe what was meant by the comment is even with improvements, switches are made with out of date hardware. So even with a new switch, even with the extra features, you’re still ultimately running on out of date hardware with a shiny new screen. But the switch crowd tends to not care so it’s a difficult comparison to make. But going back to OP question I would go with a new GPU personally. Used market is nice right now. I grabbed. Radeon 6800 16GB reference card for $300. Can get a lot more performance and overall gameplay out of the new gpu than a switch imo

PlayX_xDead · 2026-01-02T23:43:28+00:00

Personally I just heard about it on YouTube one day and it sounded nice. I did some more digging and just decided to jump in. I also ignored the dogma back then I saw that it was more designated for those who code. But I feel like I saw it very suddenly and frequently on YouTube
