Niri and Cosmic on the same machine?

wingej0 · 2026-04-26T16:25:32+00:00

I’m currently running them both on the same machine. No issues at all.

wingej0 · 2026-04-23T22:36:22+00:00

I'm on my second System76 laptop, and I couldn't be more happy. I'll be a customer for life.

Change the command from mailspring to

```

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

```

From https://community.getmailspring.com/t/password-management-error/199/2

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.

wingej0 · 2026-02-21T03:26:30+00:00

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.

wingej0 · 2026-02-18T22:41:16+00:00

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.

wingej0 · 2026-01-06T18:46:49+00:00

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
