Discord rich presence on linux (game activity)
  • I don’t use the Flatpak, but for me the rpc doesn’t seem to work for Steam games, it seems to work for everything else that supports it though.

    What are your thoughts on Flatpak/Flathub?
  • They’re great on certain desktops, like Fedora’s Atomic Desktops, but you usually have to work around Flatpak specific issues. On NixOS there doesn’t seem to be a declarative way to install them.

    Do you find open source games interesting/good thing as a gamer?
  • I’m a dev, but not a game dev, and I think that open source games that are popular are more likely to stay around, even if the original dev team stops working on it as it can be forked, which is pretty awesome for longevity. Also other “real” open source games: osu! and Veloren.

    Arch or NixOS?
  • By highly configurable, I meant that you can configure it exactly to your needs, in the same way that you can with Arch.

    Arch or NixOS?
  • I use NixOS for University and would highly recommend it if you want a highly configurable system that’s declarative, however, NixOS doesn’t have great documentation for certain features and usually does things differently, so you’ll have to learn the Nix way of doing things. On the plus side, I’ve never been unable to fix my OS when it broke, you simply rollback, or if there isn’t a suitable rollback, you can plug in a live usb and set the system to use a specific commit (can’t remember the exact command for this and that’s presuming you store your config with git). Also according to these statistics nixpkgs has more packages than the AUR.
