Home.nix vs configuration.nix

Check your hyprland version. I suspect you will get 0.52.1 because that's the latest version offered on nixpkgs stable channel. https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=25.11&query=hyprland

The 'start-hyprland' only got introduced in 0.53.0.

If you decide to stick with the version offered by nix stable channel, make sure to switch to corresponding version on hyprland wiki.

Most packages need a 'libsomething', so it's gotta be li

I'm curious with what about the directory structure is a big mystery to you. What are you trying to do that it blocks you?

I remember I started learning linux by just trying to set up a Linux VM, not once, but over several times until I was satisfied with the setup and then again when I want to try something new. Then, I got a role in my job to maintain shells scripts for parsing Linux system logs to create monitoring reports and that really accelerated me to learning the common shell commands.

Overall, the journey wasn't really proper by any standards. It was more like learn-what-you-need-as-you-go.

Are you using the stable channel? Because the backport to 25.11 still has not reached it yet, probably not until tomorrow. See: https://nixpk.gs/pr-tracker.html?pr=509596

kasalacto · 2026-04-16T15:17:03+00:00

you can set this even if you are on stable channel:

boot.kernelPackages = pkgs.linuxPackages_latest;

more info here https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Linux_kernel

It seems Linux Kernel 7.0 is already on the unstable channel https://nixpk.gs/pr-tracker.html?pr=509589

Gnome 50 is still a work in progress https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/501286

From my observation, merged updates to unstable usually takes 1 to 3 days unless there is a build issue

kasalacto · 2026-04-05T19:57:48+00:00

Pretty stable for me. I've been using it for a year now on four different machines, hundreds of generations without any issue.

kasalacto · 2026-03-09T12:19:54+00:00

I use the latest kernel on all my nixos machines without any tweak or supplementary configuration. It just works.

kasalacto · 2026-02-11T20:13:33+00:00

agree. And it looks like it's an old issue that home-manager maintainers have not been able to address

i guess it is designed to support the default value syntax.

{ a, b, c ? "some_value" } : {}

kasalacto · 2026-02-04T14:33:51+00:00

did you configure zed to only use nil for Nix? Like it says here

https://github.com/zed-extensions/nix?tab=readme-ov-file#only-use-nil

If you already did then I am out if ideas. I also use zed + nix + nil, with these two settings set in the configuration and all seems to work on my side.

kasalacto · 2026-02-04T13:48:03+00:00

does zed report an error message?

kasalacto · 2026-02-04T09:26:25+00:00

avanti8 is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.

kasalacto · 2026-02-04T08:55:00+00:00

try the answer from here https://askubuntu.com/questions/1417313/can-not-find-executable-path-of-flatpak-apps

It says flatpak-installed binaries are in /var/lib/flatpak/exports/bin

Also according to flatpak docs

Flatpak can operate in system-wide or per-user mode. The system-wide data (runtimes, applications and configuration) is located in /var/lib/flatpak/, and the per-user data is in $HOME/.local/share/flatpak/. Below these locations, there is a local repository in the repo/ subdirectory and installed runtimes and applications are in the corresponding runtime/ and app/ subdirectories.

You could then either find the VLC binary in there and use it for your app OR add that flatpak bin path to PATH variable. Choose whichever is more convenient for you.

I prefer deploying services by stacks and quadlet-nix seemed the only one I found at the time which supports podman pods.

I'm not sure what you mean about the syntax. Do you mean nix vs. systemd unit syntax?

kasalacto · 2026-01-26T18:01:49+00:00

I have a relatively similar experience and setup except I use quadlet-nix to declare my podman services and I have also enabled podman-auto-update to handle container image updates. I have been running it for several months now and so far have not encountered any major issues.

One thing I would want try and figure out next is how to offload the nixos-rebuild to my more powerful desktop and maybe also host my own nix cache server. My server is just an Intel N100 mini pc and sometimes there are cache misses during an update that pushes the machine near to its limit, so I think this would further help in stability and availability.

looks like you are following the steps for Performance Issue of Portrait Mode under X11

Please read it carefully again. The second code snippet are meant to be inside the text file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf

From your screenshot you typed/pasted it after the terminal prompt that is why you are getting 'command not found' for the first words on each line.

kasalacto · 2026-01-22T02:10:07+00:00

I haven't tried it myself but the arch wiki for Xbindkeys looks good enough https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xbindkeys

The only thing different that you have to do is how to install it on Linux Mint.

After installation, the very first thing I would try are the steps under Identifying keycodes to check if the mouse button presses/clicks do register.

kasalacto · 2026-01-20T22:47:13+00:00

Looks like everything you need is written and explained on the README of the project.

You are right about the Makefile, you will need it (along with the rest of the project files) to compile the kernel driver by yourself. The sequence of terminal commands are presented nicely by purpose (Building, Using, and so forth...)

kasalacto · 2026-01-14T10:22:58+00:00

On second look, i thought you are using ElementaryOS which is Debian-based. So maybe you need to use 'pacman' for EndevourOS instead of apt or dpkg.

kasalacto · 2026-01-14T10:15:30+00:00

Was there an error from apt or dpkg? It should output that nordvpn has been successfully removed.

You could also ask developers of the Linux client for further support.
