I honestly just did nix-env -i flatpak then rebooted, so I'm not sure...

Edit: Did it the configuration.nix way to make sure everything was in the path, and it works now. Thanks!

It's the XFCE one. Not Whisker Menu, but the default one.

Yes, I did restart afterwards, and unfortunately it didn't work.

 

I believe I solved this problem before, but I can't find the solution again. I have some Flatpaks installed on my NixOS system, but they aren't showing up in the app menu. Does anyone know what might be causing this or how to fix it?

You might be able to find a super lightweight desktop distro out there (I think Damn Small Linux can run on those specs?) or you could repurpose it as a basic server of some sort like you mentioned. Unless you wanted to invest in some cheap old ram to throw in there and maybe make it a bit faster, then I think those would be your best options.

I've been using it on my Fedora laptop for the past week or so and it's really nice, even in alpha 1! Can't wait to see how it turns out fully finished!

I was so happy about this! Been using it on my work MacBook and have been excited to use it on my main laptop!

Imagine being so against people using certain programs on their computer that you straight up deny them software updates.

My only major complaint is their free-tier is a bit lacking compared to what Skiff had (or I guess has, but not for much longer.) I think their platform is great, and definitely worth paying for, but given I'm a broke college student that's not much of an option. Also their support for third party clients (or lack thereof) isn't great, though I don't use those as much. Otherwise I like it quite a bit!

Generally I have when I use Gnome or KDE on Linux, though I have started to prefer MATE, which doesn't have Wayland support yet afaik. I also started using FreeBSD on one of my computers a bit more, and I believe Wayland support is still a bit wonky on that right now. But as soon as Wayland support is there I'm definitely switching to that on the daily.

I personally like Podverse.

I've never had issues with APKPure as far as safety goes. That and APKMirror are my main places to get apk files

For something with fitness tracking, I've been using the Garmin Forerunner series for years. Recently though, I've been using the Pine64 PineTime as my main smartwatch. It doesn't have much for fitness tracking, but if you're looking for a basic smartwatch it's pretty nice!

 

I am fairly new to OpenBSD, and for some reason when I install it on my laptop it doesn't show any boot option. My computer will just say there's nothing to boot, and going into the boot options menu there's nothing. Any idea why this might be happening?
