Why OpenSuse is said to be KDE Plasma first? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] suspectum@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Plasma works really flawless on Tumbleweed for me. I never tried Fedora, but OpenSUSE is a lot better than Ubuntu for me. Less bugs and you always get the latest versions. NVIDIA driver is really easy to install: there are official repositories, they are updated just like any package. I think among the traditional distributions Tumbleweed is the best one.

Coders, what is your workflow on Linux in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Teams for Linux sucks and is not maintained anymore. Devs recommend using the web app and this is what I'm using in Chrome, works really well. Otherwise I'm also on Tumbleweed KDE :)

Cannot install nix package manager without sudo privileges (lemmy.ml)
 

First of all, I'm completely new to Nix and I have no idea what I'm doing. I would like to use it initially as a more general purpose replacement of conda environments for my AI-development workflow. To begin with, I'd like to install nix package manager at my work server where I don't have root access. I tried

sh <(curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install) --no-daemon

however it tries to create /nix which I cannot do without sudo. I searched everywhere, but I don't seem to find a way to circumvent this.

Thanks!

Why is openSUSE so... weird? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] suspectum@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I must admit I've mostly been an Ubuntu user since about 2007. But switching to Tumbleweed was like a breath of fresh air. A lot of the things were different, but accumulated experience over years allowed me to feel at home. I used YaST once or twice, you don't need it at all.

KDE Plasma session in a nix-env (lemmy.ml)
 

Hi, I'm new to nix and NixOS and would like to try out the package manager first on a different host OS (I use OpenSUSE Tumbleweed). I want to build KDE Plasma desktop in its own nix environment isolated from the rest of the system and be able to launch a graphical desktop session (requires integration from systemd and d-bus). Do you think that should be possible with nix?
