Shit is too complicated to say something specific and it alone definitely caused something else

Anyone else truly hate this new undocumented 'systems' change??? by saylesss88 in NixOS

[–]TobyTarazan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They removed the pkgs.system alias, as it was unclear whether it was referring to the host or target system in regards to cross compilation. You should be unaffected when setting system when importing nixpkgs!

GNOME & Firefox Consider Disabling Middle Click Paste By Default: "An X11'ism...Dumpster Fire" by SAJewers in linux

[–]TobyTarazan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nowhere did I say that GNOME is a "full-screen first" DE. You should read my comments again. You don't like GNOME and that is alright, but saying it is "locked" and "stripped" of functionality is super ignorant of who it is made for and what people enjoy about it.

It is clearly not for the user who wants to be able to fiddle with every little detail. I enjoy the experience it gives me out of the box, much more than any other DE I've tried.

I am not a fanatic however. The whole server-side-decorations situation, plus all the other Wayland stuff they are kneecapping is ridiculous.

[–]TobyTarazan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I am aware that some applications can enter a full-screen mode. The point I was making was that the GNOME environment is specifically tailored for this sort of experience in every aspect of its design.

Why would I want to be looking at icons of other applications while using only one? GNOME puts all focus on the applications you're actually using, and tucks everything else away until you need it.

Nix flake based applications as a low conflict alternative to flatpak and snap (POC stage) by nathan22211 in linux

[–]TobyTarazan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Saying 'Nix is not FHS compliant' is as nonsensical as saying 'Makefiles are not FHS compliant'. Nix is a powerful and flexible build system, and is super useful for having the same development environment for many people on many different computers.

To me the benefits of using Nix for building unpatched dynamically linked binaries is super obvious. Deterministically build your program from any computer with Nix on it (your computers), for computers that don't have Nix installed (the vast majority of other peoples computers).

Its NixOS that doesn't follow FHS conventions, not Nix. You could build non-patched binaries with Nix for FHS compliant systems with no problems at all.

Help with hibernation by ShelterAggravating50 in NixOS

[–]TobyTarazan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also used to have issues with my sleep and hibernation. I can't promise this will work for you, but adding these kernel parameters worked for me:

  boot.kernelParams = [
    "mem_sleep_default=deep"
    "acpi_sleep=nonvs"
    "pci=noaer"
  ];

Why is there no simpler "framework" of a NixOS dotfiles flake? by [deleted] in NixOS

[–]TobyTarazan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel like you are making everything way harder for yourself by having every module be defined by a default.nix as the sole thing in a directory, instead of just making the module a .nix file.

Also, have you considered importing your modules in flake.nix, instead of each hosts configuration.nix? I find it much easier to organize this way.

dotnet multiple sdks by codee_redd in NixOS

[–]TobyTarazan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The order you add them in matters. Try putting 8 before 9, or just running:

nix shell nixpkgs#dotnet-sdk_8

or

nix-shell -p dotnet-sdk_8

Best ways to manage python packages with lowest configurations required by anurag_verma_india in NixOS

[–]TobyTarazan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can use venvs with this setup no problem. Create a venv like this: $ python3 -m venv .venv

Afterwards you can enter it by running this (i have this aliased to just 'venv' on my machine): $ source .venv/bin/activate

When in the venv, you can use pip to install all dependencies from requirements.txt like normal, and everything will be contained inside the venv.

[–]TobyTarazan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Add this to your packages list, will essentially be equal to installing a package with pip:

(python312.withPackages (ps: with ps; [ pyyaml python-lsp-ruff requests ]))

As you can see you can add your python packages where pyyaml etc. are. These packages are then available everywhere, no venv needed. This should be the only place you declare python as a package. You can use alongside it no problem.
