    Hmm, warum findest du das? Ich finde Kernseife dafür eigentlich besser, weil sie Fett besser wegmacht.

    Wobei ich mich jetzt gerade frage, ob das was mit rückfettenden Seifen zu tun hat. Vielleicht waren meine Flüssigseifen immer rückseifend und deshalb so enttäuschend…


  • Yeah, and you don’t have to know which fork to choose. Only the compatible fork will show up in the search.

    (I was going to recommend that, but had something in the back of head, that you needed a manual step to enable the configuration. But I just saw that this is described in the Plasma 5 version, not the Plasma 6 fork, so I guess, it’s not necessary anymore…)

    I believe, that’s something which became impossible with Wayland?

    But it wasn’t very good under X11 either. Even back then, it was much less clunky to use the various KWin scripts, which offer tiling. Well, and by now Plasma has built-in semi-automatic tiling, which those scripts basically just configure, so they do now feel quite smooth.










  • Yeah, one of the largest pieces of software humanity has created, next to Google Chrome and the Linux kernel, which are all around 30 million lines of code.

    To give a frame of reference: With a team of 5 full-time devs at my dayjob, we can dish out a codebase of about 20 thousand lines over the course of two years.

    A browser might be somewhat quicker to build, because the requirements are relatively clear at this point and you can start implementing many standards in parallel. But yeah, it’s still just an insane amount of code.




  • Oof, I was just talking about making things declarative there. If you want to configure it the old-fashioned way, like you would on other distros, then those difficulties don’t apply.

    In more general terms, though, it’s a bit of a double-edged sword. The Nix package repository has more packages than other package managers: https://repology.org/repositories/graphs

    So, the chance of finding an obscure software, that’s already packaged, is rather high.
    Here’s the online package search, if you want to check the availability of some of the obscure software you use: https://search.nixos.org/packages

    But then, yeah, the flipside is that, from what I understand, you can’t just download a random executable off of the internet and run it, because of the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard not being adhered to, as the post also mentions.
    You can set up Flatpaks, and I believe AppImages would work, because those also live in their own FUSE filesystem. Well, and there is ways to emulate the FHS layout to get normal applications to run, too.

    But yeah, way out of my field of expertise there. I have only one software installed which isn’t packaged for Nix, which is a program I wrote myself.
    And to get sufficient FHS emulation for that, I just needed this line in my config:

    programs.nix-ld.enable = true;
    

    More complex programs will need a bit of extra configuration: https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Nix-ld

    (I could also add a flake.nix file into my software’s repository, though, which would make it so it could be installed straight from my repo, as if it was packaged.)
