Gaming on NixOS ?
  • I did both - I have steam and steam-run in environment.systemPackages and I have packages.steam.enable = true;

    Here's my hardware config:

      hardware = {
        bluetooth.enable = true; # enables support for Bluetooth
        bluetooth.powerOnBoot = true; # powers up the default Bluetooth controller on boot
        opengl = {
          enable = true;
          extraPackages = with pkgs; [
            intel-media-driver # LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=iHD
            intel-media-sdk
            intel-vaapi-driver # For older processors. LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=i965
            vaapiIntel
            vaapiVdpau
            libvdpau-va-gl
          ];
        };
        pulseaudio = {
          enable = true;
          support32Bit = true;
          extraConfig = "load-module module-combine-sink";
        };
        xpadneo.enable = true;
      };
    
  • Gaming on NixOS ?
  • It's a 2013 macbook air, which is weird because when I had OSX installed it played Stardew fine.

  • Gaming on NixOS ?
  • Just tried GE-Proton-9-9 and the play button goes to "stop" and then right back to "play". I tried launching from terminal using nix-shell and steam-run so I could see the error messages when it crashes. Thanks for looking at your setup to see what was going on.

  • Gaming on NixOS ?
  • Apparently, I'm not the only one. https://discourse.nixos.org/t/help-running-stardew-valley-in-nixos/48574

    How do you avoid those errors?

  • Gaming on NixOS ?
  • Some games don't work, despite what ProtonDB says, such as Stardew Valley.

  • Traveling this summer? Maybe don’t let the airport scan your face.
  • Honest quetion, how/where are drivers license photos saved? Is saving photos at the state level more or less secure than saving at the federal level? Also, the TSA supposedly just uses scans to speed up and more accurately verify, and claims not to save the scans (for now). If they wanted a database of everyone's face scan, couldn't they just subpoena every state's DMV/tag-agency for license photos?

  • Is there an image viewer like nsxiv, but with native Wayland support?
  • Another okay option I just stumbled on is Viewnior. The only thing it lacks is webp file support.

  • Is there an image viewer like nsxiv, but with native Wayland support?
  • Thanks for confirming that you're seeing the same thing. Must be a bug.

  • Is there an image viewer like nsxiv, but with native Wayland support?
  • Ahh that's good to know. I had no idea about libadwaita. Thank you!

  • Is there an image viewer like nsxiv, but with native Wayland support?
  • I navigated to my screenshot folder in terminal and opened an image using swayimg -r but it wouldn't let me navigate with n or p. I also tried going to my Pictures folder and used swayimg Screenshots/* like this thread suggested, but still no luck.

  • Is there an image viewer like nsxiv, but with native Wayland support?
  • Gwenview looks a little too full featured, but the Gnome Image Viewer (Loupe) works well. No dependencies needed in Nix, and the arrow keys let you flip between different images that are in the same folder. All of the on-screen functionality works (copy, move to trash, zoom in/out, toggle full-screen, etc.), and keyboard shortcuts and gestures work great. The only bug I have to work out is that it doesn't respect the gtk theme I have configured (GTK 2, 3, and 4). Otherwise, seems like a good option.

  • Is there an image viewer like nsxiv, but with native Wayland support?
  • Sounds interesting, but the requirements say it needs gnome-desktop. I'm using Hyprland on NixOS, so it doesn't sound like this will work for my setup unfortunately. Thank you for the suggestion. Hopefully this helps others.

  • Is there an image viewer like nsxiv, but with native Wayland support?
  • I like how it supports animated webp and gif files right out of the box. Would be perfect if you could open images from the file manager and navigate, but it doesn't look like that's in the works.

  • Is there an image viewer like nsxiv, but with native Wayland support?
  • Can you open animated gifs in imv? I just get a black screen, but the home page says animated gifs are supported.

  • Is there any closed source android app that you wish had a good open source alternative?
  • Doesn't look like Hyperion is open source :(

    Until there's a FOSS version of Nova, I guess I'll keep using Nova and have my firewall block its outgoing traffic.

  • Is there an image viewer like nsxiv, but with native Wayland support?
    codeberg.org Wayland Support?

    I know the project name clearly states `x` in it. But then also is it possible to have a proper Wayland support using nsxiv on xwayland if fine, but few key maps fails to work and was looking forward to `nsiv` as this will make it the image viewer of choice on Wayland.

    Wayland Support?

    According to this issue, it looks like there are no plans, understandably, for making a version/fork of nsxiv but with native Wayland support.

    Any recommendations for a simple image viewer in Hyprland?

    Synology Drive debug messages [NixOS, Hyprland]
  • For anyone that stumbles on this, try ‘QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=Fusion QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb synology-drive autostart’ for your startup command. That worked for me.

  • Synology Drive debug messages [NixOS, Hyprland]
  • OMG are you fucking kidding me!!! Your comment got me thinking. So I looked at my desktop to see what I had in the startup command and it was 'synology-drive autostart' instead of 'synology-drive start'. #livinthatlinuxlife #killmenow

    Sigh... Thank you!!!

  • Synology Drive debug messages [NixOS, Hyprland]
  • I use a bash script because I don't know of a way to start a program minimized to tray using the hyprland config. If there is a method of doing that, I'd be happy to give it a try.

    Synology drive doesn't start on boot even though I have it in my bash script like all my other startup programs which load fine. I get the following debug messages when I run synology-drive from terminal: debug.message: Cannot find path by key "user_cloud_station_app_path" debug.message: Cannot find path by key "user_cloud_station_data_path" debug.message: Cannot find path by key "user_cloud_station_working_dir_path" debug.message: Cannot find path by key "user_cloud_station_drive_ui_path" QApplication: invalid style override passed, ignoring it. Available styles: Windows, Fusion Mynixos.com doesn't say that I need to include anything special in my configuration.nix file for the synology-drive-client. What am I doing wrong? Are these debug message related to why it's not loading on startup?

    Is there any closed source android app that you wish had a good open source alternative?
  • Nova launcher - there isn't a good one for one FOSS replacement. Every launcher I tried from fdroid has at least one shortcoming (if not more).

  • [Hyprland] Post-punk vibes
  • How do you get those inverted bottom corners on your Waybar?

  • Does the legacy of AppOutlet live on?

    GitHub - AppOutlet/AppOutlet: A Universal linux app store

    I noticed the AppOutlet repo has been archived, but I really liked the idea of one store to rule them all (I.e. snaps, appimages, flatpaks, etc. in one place).

    Any current recommendations for an alternative?

    Anyone migrate from PlayerPro to a FOSS alternative?
    play.google.com PlayerPro Music Player - Apps on Google Play

    The ultimate media player for Android devices

    PlayerPro Music Player - Apps on Google Play

    Looking for a music player that will do a good job of loading album art. It all looks great in PlayerPro, but I tried Auxio and Aplayer but they didn't do a great job of pulling in the album art. Tracks were also incorrectly lumped together with mixed albums/artists.

    Any recommendations?

    FOSS Alternative to MakeMKV

    Looking for a FOSS way to backup my encrypted Blueray disks so I can stream them with Jellyfin and not worry about the disks getting scratched.

    Much like the linked post, I hope this thread serves as a snapshot or "state of the industry" as of April 2024.

    Anyone working with 345 MHz devices/sensors in home assistant (e.g, 2GIG devices)?

    I'm in the same boat as this Home Assistant user / Redditor, but it looks like some of the key replies to his question have been deleted.

    I moved into a house and it looks like Vivint had rewired the original security system with a 2GIG TAKE-345 wired to wireless converter (transmits on 345 MHz). Can anyone recommend a RTL-SDR dongle that's compatible with HAOS, preferably plug-and-play?

    Voice Input Privacy Concerns on GrapheneOS?

    Any privacy concerns with using the futo-whisper open source voice library?

    I was able to add their apk repo to Droidify, but am hesitant to install Futo Voice Input. Although it looks like it integrates nicely with OpenBoard.

    The other option is to install Sayboard, which works with the native Graphene keyboard. Although OpenBoard with Futo Voice looks like a more streamlined experience, IMHO.

    Any thoughts on privacy here?

    ZigBee RGB Lightbulb w/o 3rd party app

    Any recommendations for a ZigBee RGB Lightbulb w/o 3rd party app - at least not a closed source app.

    I heard the Phillips Hue works well but I'd like to be able to install and configure the bulbs with Home Assistant (or another open source app at a minimum). Any suggestions?

    Aqara Devices' ZigBee Keeps Dropping. Any Tips?

    I have an Aqara water leak sensor in my kitchen and weather sensor in my living room. I added them to the ZigBee network while they were in their permanent locations - heard that should help them stay connected. For some reason they keep becoming "unavailable" in Homeassistant. I've readded them four times now.

    I have other ZigBee devices from other brands and haven't had any issues with them dropping. My ZigBee dongle is a Sonoff. I've never connected the Aqara devices to any Aqara app, and was also wondering if these get firmware updates. Any ideas why these two Aqara devices keep dropping?

    Recommendations for the best, low-heat, GPU with ray-tracing in 2023?

    I have a Nvidia TitanX in my HTPC, which is known for its high heat output, and it keeps overheating when I play 3D games. The case has two intake fans on one side and two exhaust fans on the other, but lacks ventilation on the top panel. I'm tired of the random shutdowns during game play and was wondering if anyone had any recommemdations for a more efficient GPU.

    Running Windows 10.

    Best FOSS alternative to Nova Launcher?

    Would really love a launcher that can format icon shapes so that they're all uniform in shape, like Nova Launcher ...but open source. !

    Retro quick access on GrapheneOS???

    Yo how'd our hommie sideofburritos get old school quick access on GrapheneOS? Is this just an old version? The video's only a year old! So I'm on GOS Android 13 (aka big dumb quick access button purgatory), totally confused and totally jealous. I can only imagine an out of touch board testing a new android version and telling the developers to make the buttons bigger and dumber while they tell their managers "okay, we can do that" while they die a little inside. This is the most egregious design offense committed in the history of AOSP.

    Please tell me this can be fixed with System UI Tuner or some other bullshit that doesn't kill my battery life or privacy.

    When using a VPN, is there a way to make your browser think you're in your home country?

    Web pages were loading in the foreign language my VPN was in, so I tried using a free proxy but couldn't find a reliable way to make that work. Any suggestions?

    Best VOIP service and FOSS app combo on GrapheneOS in 2023?

    Currently looking at:

    • jmp.chat with the Cheogram app - at $3 a month for each number, it's a little pricey.
    • VoIP.ms with either the linphone app or one of the other FOSS apps in their softphones list - $0.85 a month but calls and messages are a la carte, which is not my favorite but it's less expensive.

    I know a lot of people like using MySudo or Grandstream, but I'd like to keep it FOSS and not reliant on google play services if possible. Battery considerations are also a plus.

    So what are you using and would you recommend it?

    Is opening channels with a lightning node the same as having a hot wallet?

    There isn't a way to run a lightning node with the private key in cold storage is there?

    Is the SIM Manager in Aurora Store safe?

    I'm running GrapheneOS and haven't been able to find any documentation around this. Is this update safe? Any references would help.

    Navigation app with traffic, police, and hazard reports?

    Any open source Waze competitors?

    My ideal app would have crypto rewards for reporting hazards or uploading dashcam footage that you could redeem for discounts at merchants that pay for in app ads. If anyone makes something like this, cut me in on the IPO lol.
