To anyone who needs this in the future, a lot of scanners need some extra firmware files (found on their backend's subpage, accessible from here) and those can be added to your nix configuration in a way some good people discovered here. Knowing all this would have saved me around 3 hours yesterday, so you're welcome.
another day another game of whack-a-mole commenting out packages just to get a rebuild to not fail
Kinda like biology: knock out a gene (package) and see what happens.
I'm have been NixOS curious for quite a while now. I am afraid I will be consumed by it, if I fully commit.
Addressing your concerns in order: You should be. You will. It's not up to you.
NixOS, Helix, and Hyprland 😁 But I'm graduated, so I just procrastinate everything else instead.
Sell me on Helix real quick. I've heard about it and it looks interesting but I'm not sure what the hook is.
One well rounded package that doesn't need a complicated config or possibly unmaintained plugins.
I came from vscode and nano. I wanted something within the terminal as powerful as vscode. I tried doom emacs and vim but they didn't feel right.
Reasons I use it:
- I found it easier to learn than vim/emacs in my opinion
- Written in rust
- Pretty easy to get language servers running
- config is super easy
It's better than the Dome fossil. #PraiseHelix
I initially read that as "It's better than dome." Which is an objectively solid pitch for anything.
I stopped using emacs because I was spending more time in config files than actually doing anything useful
Hot take, micro is the best text editor. Easy keybinds Has plugins
Works very well for editing text
Look into Helix :D
It’s missing plugins… but aside from that, as of now, it’s about as configurationless as it can get.
I just have some extra keys mapped and that’s it. Single <30 line config file.
Relatable. I spend my whole day ricing my linux. I use arch btw
I once spent half an hour fiddling with the font sizes in Mint. Does that count?
That is very fast. I count in days.
You gotta pump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers.
