@karolherbst Probably the "best" place to open an issue would be in the xdg-portals repo considering there will probably be the where the API for communication between the OS and apps would end up.

The main problem with that is that it also doesn't really specify policy, only mechanism and the policy is left up to the individual portal implementations, which is not in any single place.

@gperson @TheEvilSkeleton The reason they have the AGENTS.md file to begin with is because they know people will use it, whether they allow it or not. They do require disclosure with a Co-developed-By: <agent> to know that they need to be ready for the typical agent issues.

Lets be for real here, what is more likely: you outright ban the usage and people actually follow that and don't just do it secretly or you allow it and require disclosure?

Ofc there will probably be people that don't disclose they used an agent, but it is much more likely they will than just not contribute because the maintainers said no-AI.

@Foxboron

I prefer artisanal cursed NixOS crafted by my own hands. Thank you very much.

@pid_eins

I C.

But wouldn't it be a bit too broad considering some images are ephemeral and might not even be part of the system?

Like say I am working on building an image for a different system and want to sd-dissect --mount it, I assume that would be also measured.

I guess my overarching question is: for what would this be used considering how noisy/unpredictable it might be?

@pid_eins

There's one type of resource that is probably the most important one to measure on a modern image-based OSes: the images the OS is composed of, as they are activated.

Does this mean only things contributing to the root file namespace like base-DDI/sysext/confext or also services like portabled that are added after the fact (e.g. created by a sys admin for a specific system)?

@acidiclight I've been wanting to get home server myself for a bit, but I am mostly just reusing my old PC for it (R5 1600, had to replace the MoBo cuz I bricked it by removing the MS secure boot keys).

The main thing I was looking for was PCIe lanes. Cuz those are gone very fast if you are looking to use 1 GPU + any other PCIe peripherals.
