VR on linux is scuffed. https://lvra.gitlab.io/ refer to this site for vr on linux. If you play VRchat, its pretty much unplayable in vr on linux, its literally somehow a better experience on quest standalone
What happened to the logo. I swear like 2 years ago it was a picture of an actual ladybird
Nix is a programming language, so you have to organize your configuration yourself like you would for any programming project, usually by splitting it into multiple files. Also you can search system modules on the same page that you search for packages though usually there’s not much of an explanation for what it does outside of reading the source code.
System modules use the package from the repository while enabling some systemd stuff and whatever other options that you will want enabled with it. On a single user system, there is no meaningful difference between system packages and user packages.
Home-manager can be used to manage files in your home directory, like your configs for apps and stuff. It also can have more module options for apps so you can set up their settings declaratively. Its not for everyone but this is what its supposed to do, outside of your normal nix configuration.
Nix flakes aren’t a way to install packages, but a way to manage the nix based projects which include nix packages and your nixos configuration and is supposed to make it more reproducible, so its not directly related to installing packages. However if a package for something isn’t in the repos, someone may make a nix flake for installing and building the package.
Its understandable that you are having trouble though, because the documentation for nix and nixos is terrible, and it only got better for me once I actually spent time learning the nix programming language.
Its kinda annoying for anyone not on debian or fedora (and derivatives) though.
Try using distrobox arch. I did that on nixos and after some troubleshooting I got it to work.
If you use org mode, you can use this https://github.com/misohena/el-easydraw. Its a basic drawing tool in emacs.
The nix package manager can be used on any os and doesn’t require usage of the nix programming language…
The org.foo.bar thing is done so that multiple packages with the same name can coexist. It’s a design choice, not something that gets fixed. It would be nice to be able to type in the name of the package and it looks for the package like in flatpak remove and install though.
Its funny because a lot of people do this even though its completely unhelpful in solving their problem.
I just watched it today with my friends and had fun. Idk it was pretty funny movie
