If you know how to use VB, using Virtmanager wouldn’t be too different. You’ll have to find how these are packaged for your distribution, but the instructions for everything else on the wiki will be helpful regardless of the distro

You can keep your existing partition, and just mount the disk in a libvirt/qemu on kvm setup. Here is a good place to start

Especially on Linux, libvirt/qemu on kvm is a no-brainer. It works, it’s fast, the setup is practically effortless

They definitely exist, and there is progress, but even in the best case scenario, you’re far from being able to comfortably daily one. postmarketOS is probably the most consistently updated project at this time

I really enjoy erdtree as a ls replacement

My experience is aligned with this. I’ve barely had any issues at all, especially in the 6.x cycle.

There was one pretty annoying panel bug, which was caused by Nvidia, but i’ve sent them reports, and they fixed it in the next driver release. The other one is a thirdparty addon, where under a certain setting combination, your shell would occasionally restart, but again that’s not a Plasma bug

For nix-darwin specifically, the cleaned up build process, and SDK packaging is nice. It hasn’t eliminated all the issues, but a lot of those are less of a fault of Nix, and more an issue with macOS design. Hoping they can be addressed somehow, but for now, the issues with workarounds are tracked.

And just in general, Python has kind of been a pain in the ass to understand, so any improvement is exciting, as i’m still learning how things work here.

A bunch of packages I want got officially merged or updated during this release cycle too, and as much as I appreciate thirdparty flakes, I don’t want to rely on them too much

Been a very exciting release.

The nix-darwin upgrades come along right as i migrated my Mac to Nix, but even outside of that, all the package and module merges are always welcome. All my machines run Nix now, so the less work I have to do manually, the better

I replaced docker with podman on all of my systems, and so far i really have nothing to complain about. Works exactly as advertised

I use Bibata however I don’t really have a strong preference for any specific one.

Going to return to this thread a bit later, just to see if other people link something interesting

My mom got my XPS9350 i used to bring to uni, and at the moment, it has Fedora in it.

She repeatedly claimed it was a lot more straightforward for her to understand, compared to the endless inconsistencies and issues on Windows. All things considered, she is fairly tech illiterate too.

Plus it’s easy for me to remote into, in case something breaks

The original announcement isn’t even very long. Could you not have read it before leaving this comment?

Ah that’s probably why I couldn’t dig it up. Nixpkgs gets a ton of activity daily so this PR get buried haha.

Great to hear it’s already there

It’s absolutely mental that a reverse-engineered hardware stack, with a bespoke gpu driver in Rust, achieved this kind of performance, in this amount of time. God tier skills, between all the engineers involved in the project

There’s no PR open for nixpkgs at the moment, so either we wait until a trusted packager updates it, someone makes a PR, or you can also use a thirdparty flake

6.2 has been merged into staging-next

If your CPU was one of the affected units with defective hardware, no amount of microcode will fix that. Otherwise get the update as usual

Short answer is that you don’t have to do anything.

Slightly longer answer is that you can remove all existing nvidia packages, with any boot parameters they may have required, call it a day.

My uni provided a complete license for the entire MATLAB suite, but this piece of software is genuinely a nightmare to use. Every time i has to touch it, i wish i just had python instead

Generally speaking, if something’s been published as .deb exclusively, someone’s already repackaged it in AUR too, so I personally never worry about it. Same story with Nix, which has an even larger repository of things in unstable
