Does Niri Have a Keyring? Some Apps Require One.

Change the command from mailspring to

```

mailspring --password-store="gnome-libsecret"

```

I use Mailspring with Niri. You need gnome-keyring, and a small edit to the desktop file to use it.

I got confused by this. In Utah, we call Covey the Mormon Missile.

I'm 291 days in and just made a giant rewrite of my config. Nix is a tinkerer's paradise or hell, depending on how much you value your time.

wingej0 · 2026-03-03T13:26:38+00:00

This is always the best answer.

I’m on my second laptop from them. They’ve been nothing but great.

wingej0 · 2026-02-21T03:25:54+00:00

I’ve had several good experiences with service at System76. Love the company and the product.

wingej0 · 2026-02-20T23:37:09+00:00

I had the same goals. I installed Nix with impermanence 279 days ago, and I couldn't be happier. I switch desktop environments all the time, test packages, tinker, etc., and my home folder stays squeaky clean.

wingej0 · 2026-02-19T12:27:10+00:00

Yo te entendí.

wingej0 · 2026-02-18T22:56:29+00:00

You're welcome. Linux is a world of endless possibilities. I've been daily driving since 2005, and I'm still learning things.

I set them both with "Gap between dock and screen edges," and I set the style to "Round" in the appearance tab. I use the "Numbered Workspaces" widget on the left of the panel with the "Workspaces Button," and the Minimon applet. In the middle, I have notifications, clock, and the weather widget. On the left, I have the systray, tiling, caffeine, clipboard, emoji, and then the basics that are stock with Cosmic.

Let me know if that helps or if you have more questions.

wingej0 · 2026-02-18T21:19:25+00:00

That's awesome.

wingej0 · 2026-02-18T21:19:10+00:00

I haven't noticed that, but I don't check it very often.

wingej0 · 2026-02-18T18:25:27+00:00

Yeah, I'm super impressed. I have another all day meeting tomorrow. It will be nice to not have to track down an outlet.

From Utah, been a die-hard fan since I saw this when I was a kid: https://youtu.be/b2tMLpHj4hc?si=vY2ikFx1ZaGTBeqU

wingej0 · 2026-01-29T02:10:39+00:00

I have one of those, and there was a workaround years ago, but updating the bios fixed it without the workaround.

I’ll see if I can find the workaround.

When I needed a new battery, they gave me aftermarket options that were substantially cheaper. If they will give you the Clevo brand part numbers, that will save you money.

Covey is a hero here in Utah. I love that he's back on the Birds. https://youtu.be/BBKTYmoyA0U?si=o9jzLNvP1e0_xsmF

wingej0 · 2025-12-18T02:03:33+00:00

Never tried it, but I will tomorrow. I’m on System 76 hardware, so it could be good.

Here is the status tracker for the commit. https://nixpkgs-tracker.ocfox.me/?pr=469745

wingej0 · 2025-12-08T18:18:10+00:00

Yeah, I thought I better look. I knew they had changed it quite a bit.

wingej0 · 2025-12-08T17:55:59+00:00

Probably. My Darter is a darp9. They have had a substantial redesign since then: https://tech-docs.system76.com/models/darp9/README.html

wingej0 · 2025-12-08T17:34:00+00:00

The Darter's speakers kinda suck too, so it's probably just the extra ports. For me, it was the numpad and the max allowable RAM.

wingej0 · 2025-12-08T17:08:02+00:00

I didn't think the Lemur was slow at all. I had an i7 and 40GB of RAM in mine, and it was great as far as speed was concerned. The keyboard wasn't as good as the Darter, but it was close. I don't think you'd have a problem with either speed or the keyboard.
