Do you have a single #nixos #flake for multiple devices using different #nixosconfigurations in which for each device you have a specified /persist data location as part of an #impermanence setup? I am looking for examples, tips and foot-gun alerts.... cheers.

Trying out the Cinnamon desktop with NixOS and I'm pleasantly surprised by how good it is! It's mainly x11 right now, but I can live with that.

One hiccup though, the online accounts tool wouldn't work until I added

services.gnome.gnome-online-accounts.enable = true;

The official wiki didn't have any notes about needing to do that, so I added them. Now I'm wondering how much of my config could be extrapolated into fixing the docs for the tools I use.

Home Manager News 4h ago

A new module is available: `qt.kvantum`. Enable it with `qt.kvantum.enable = true;`. It can install Kvantum theme packages into {file}`$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/Kvantum/` and generate {file}`$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/Kvantum/kvantum.kvconfig` from `qt.kvantum.settings`.

I use #NixOS, btw.

Nix is git for packages, change my mind.
I have used nix-env as another package manager (on Linux mint) because it has so many packages, but I decided last night to bite the bullet and install home-manager. After I set up my home.nix I realized what I mostly wanted was a list of the packages I've installed, and home manager delivers. Now it's a question of whether or not I want to move all my dotfiles into home.nix

There's surprisingly many Final Fantasy 14 related things on nixpkgs by the looks of it. I've already found the xivlauncher, which I cannot figure out how I should use on NixOS when handling my account through Steam as that needs additional compatibility tool installations, and the fflogs log uploader. But given I don't have add-ons that would parse combat data, or any add-ons at that, the latter's also not useful to me.

On another note, I did recently find a new tool, a crafting macro solver, that wasn't in nixpkgs yet. Emphasis on the yet, as it apparently already had a PR for its inclusion! I wonder when that's going to land into stable so I can run it locally... Not that the web-version would have steered me wrong, but it does suggest getting the local one for more demanding workloads such as any involving specialist actions.

Today on the joys of my new laptop: it seems the CMOS battery is death on arrival.

Which means when I keep the computer in a sleep state that drains battery to the point of it shutting down, I get the very strange experience of the BIOS going back to default settings, with Secure Boot being re-enabled and me being unable to boot because I got rid of Windows.

Strangely, all of the secure boot fields in the AMI (🤮) bios are greyed out, and randomly turning it off and back on, adding and removing admin (so BIOS access) and user (so PC booting permission) passwords and then removing them....
