Its even worse when you force Firefox to use wayland its icon doesn't even show.

Edit: Oh since everyone now is confused; I only have the flatpak version of Firefox installed yet it doesn't use the pinned icon and doesn't even use the firefox icon under wayland at all.

I am very impressed by nix. I have tried nixOS and it was very nice. But, I might have to try the package manager as a standalone to see how I like that.

@lambda a lot of people do nix-env -ia nameOfPackage. I would recommend doing it properly with a file, and you just direct that command to the file (I would probably setup an alias). It gives you that declarative nature that nix is known for.

[-] lambda@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

I'll try that for sure. I need to lookup if nix packages work on Steam Deck..

[-] zbecker@mastodon.zbecker.cc 0 points 1 year ago

@lambda they should if you use the single user command. The command that does it for the whole system requires root access, something you don't have on the deck.

[-] lambda@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

You can get root very easily. But, updates wipe out all but your home directory. So, I think you'd do the single user that you are referencing for that reason.

Oh I didn't know, I just remembered reading that it utilizes an immutable filesystem and thought that it also doesn't give root access as well. That's good to hear though.

[-] lambda@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, it's immutable until you run the command steamos-readonly disable IIRC.

@lambda

Oh, good on valve for making that easy to undo, albeit until you update.
