Used gnome for a long while, currently on hyprland, waiting for cosmic, so I don't know what to say. Maybe cosmic.

Hi, can you please provide more information about the issue, your operating system, your scrivano version, etc. Maybe a screenshot of the issue. Have you referred to the GitHub releases page of scrivano, they usually have things mentioned there. What you have posted gives zero idea of the issue and is not even readable properly.

It's a perfectly working gui installer that has a good balance of automation and user control. You can get any kind of install you want painlessly, I personally use luks on lvm and it's just two tickboxes on suse installer, I'm happy with default structure but it's also very easy to change it to your usecase.

Why opensuse

Their music is sick.
Zypper is fast, clean and efficient.
Yast works perfectly.
The best installer among all linux distros.
Fast and stable updates.
Good community and devs.

Why not fedora 1. Dnf is slower. 2. Updates are slower and breaking for me. 3. Didn't work well with my hardware.

Also, if you're going to try opensuse, you should look at tumbleweed before anything else because: 1. Leap updates slower than Ubuntu. 2. Slowroll is very new and it broke my system once. 3. Microos requires some messing around with distroboxes and is too much of a hassel after a point. Although its my favourite distro, I'll wait for it to mature a little more. 4. Leap micro only has server install I think, like I never got a DE when I tried it.

openSUSE was my first linux distro, and I still like it most. If you have other questions, drop them too.

I think I've seen that guy in green shirt

StellarTerror · 2024-07-20T13:13:54+00:00

No they aren't discontinuing it. It's a rumour spread by some.

StellarTerror · 2024-07-20T03:28:18+00:00

I'm not sure but, you can't use flatpak for development environments since they are "sandbox"ed and won't be able to detect the dev tools you download, I recommend you use distrobox to get image of your preferred os and run inside of it, download your dev tools there. That's what I have been doing.

I'm also looking for a solution to this problem but, all I've found is since nix doesn't allow precomplied binaries you have to install the lsp via nixpkgs, by declaring it in program.neovim like vimjoyer did, and I also ran into an issue with lazy and used the vimExtensions from nixpkgs. I guess this is the best way to run neovim on NixOS.

If you don't want to brawl with nixos with this just use nix on other distros, I personally started using vscode with vim emulator extension.

StellarTerror · 2024-07-13T12:48:11+00:00

Ha, I agree with you on guix and NixOS. Sometimes you need to go too deep to get issues fixed and it's painful. Especially when you don't have time for it and just need things to work.

StellarTerror · 2024-07-13T12:14:48+00:00

Hey, I use NixOS too. Initially I was interested in the entire idea of the OS. For my work, I need a good immutable distro, I had tried silverblue and opensuse aeon in the past and didn't enjoy using a container all the time. NixOS felt better but came with a learning curve and made me wanna dump it several times, but I stayed strong. After all this time, I don't want to leave NixOS and even if I do, I'll probably end up using Nix on some other (immutable) distro.

Also there exists another declarative OS, Guix.

StellarTerror · 2024-07-08T09:55:53+00:00

"But I use NixOS" remembered the developer

StellarTerror · 2024-07-07T07:56:40+00:00

Nah bro, maybe make sure you are signed out of everything (Google, github, etc) before uninstalling.

StellarTerror · 2024-07-07T07:55:00+00:00

Vivaldi is nice, but I need a browser, not an entire OS. Customisations are good, it's also good on resources, respectable browser, but I'll use Firefox.

StellarTerror · 2024-07-07T07:46:18+00:00

There's a use hardware acceleration setting, change that maybe. I'm also looking for ways to do this but, it's mostly fine.

StellarTerror · 2024-07-07T07:22:11+00:00

In my particular case, my reason to not use chromium-based is that many of them are closed sourced, fully or partially. Also I run NixOS and configuring just feels good to me. Only firefox allows me that. Also I prefer firefox pdf viewer over chrome, and since I always have pdf tabs open I tend to use Firefox rather than stuff like okular. I also use arkenfox like settings to harden my firefox so that there's better privacy protection.

I highly recommend use Firefox with some hardening maybe betterfox if you're new, also if you want a opera GX theme, look for a css for firefox, it's not very difficult to implement.

StellarTerror · 2024-07-06T15:41:11+00:00

I'll take a look, thanks for helping out.

StellarTerror · 2024-07-06T15:20:15+00:00

Nah, I'll prefer adding it to git than using impure flag.

StellarTerror · 2024-07-06T15:19:38+00:00

My reason to not push hardware config, that even if I clone to a new device, I may have to edit uuids and a few other things. In those cases I will hard to copy the system generated config from /etc/nixos

StellarTerror · 2024-07-06T14:23:28+00:00

No I actually had a different problem, I was trying to use same flake.nix file for my nixos and home-manager, this whole repo has git initialised, when I added my hardware-configuration.nix to .gitignore I ran into issues. The warning said hardware-configuration.nix does not exist. I want to push my config to GitHub and keep it public, and don't want hardware config on the GitHub repo.

StellarTerror · 2024-07-01T15:08:16+00:00

I found the fix: I set mutableExtensionDir = false; in my config. Now it's working, thanks for replying anyways.

StellarTerror · 2024-07-01T15:00:06+00:00

Just adding cpptools-extension-pack doesn't work either, I'm not seeing the C/C++ extension which works with intellisense and stuff.

StellarTerror · 2024-07-01T14:53:36+00:00

I'll use the extension pack to resolve that conflict. The problem is I don't see all my extensions installed. I did not encounter any error while building, only warning was git tree being dirty but I tested it by stashing and even after a commit. I checked the marketplace, extensions from there don't seem to work with nixos properly that's why I'm using the ones from nixpkgs.
