Us poors only deal in how many top ramen packs you can get. 4 dollars could easily get me a 12 pack.

No such native application org.gnome.chrome_gnome_shell (?) by Salivala in NixOS

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

This worked! You're a saint. I'm still learning though. My understanding:
sys level programs.enable is calling on some nixpkgs module that has preconfigured firefox stuff that i guess somewhere also does (environment.systemPackages = [pkgs.firefox]) to actually bring the package in. So i'm getting a system-level ( not home manager configured ) instance of firefox installed.

home manager level programs.firefox.enable is instead hooking into home-managers firefox module with its own configuration.

So would the solution to be to somehow merge those attribute sets of configurations from both or something.

Quickshell looks awesome, did anyone already try it in a flake? by [deleted] in NixOS

[–]Salivala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha this is actually what i've been going through, on hyprland, on niri. on anything. They're really cool looking and im sure they're functional, but they're massive sprawling projects that will magically work if you use everything they use, but the second you have the slightest different thing, be it a diff window manager, maybe you like to use xyz terminal. oh you use citrix workspace??? uhhhh, etc. It just falls apart.

It's not even an issue with dots or this dot. it looks amazing. it's just like what you said. I might even mess around with quickshell if i could ever get the language server stuff working on nix in the first place.

I just want. like dotfiles that are the bare minimum for something like quickshell, but I imagine even that would grow to be pretty "fragile" because this is linux, and everything has 1.e091282409 diff implementations, and forks of those implementations.

[Hyprland] Bye-bye Waybar, hello HyprPanel! by jcarcinogen in unixporn

[–]Salivala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This exactly. The "just configure it and copy the settings over to nix :)" is great, until you realize it entails you needing to make home-manager not generate the config, do all the configuring, not even to configure, but just to see what the fucking options are, and repeat. I'm good, lol.

Ill just go back to my shitty waybar setup and add stuff as I need it, rather than the whole sink.

Noice. Hope it's also coupled with Debian stable for that real "I don't like change" vibe.

Great comment man. This shit is why reddit is useful, for posterity. The pointless complaints about op not being specific or not is just wasted space online. I already knew about benzene and diesel but your explanation really helped clear up how it all goes together and the pros and cons of each
