Is there a way to set catppuccin as the qt5ct theme? I tried manually adding the files but using qt5ct breaks all icons in Dolphin (it displays alt text or nothing), and kind-of applies in nheko but leaves the main window background fully white.

Agreed! I wonder how it will work if I have to reinstall, I guess I git clone my flake from the install CD and use that instead.

For Qt themes, I had Catppuccin working on Arch but I haven't found a way to apply it. I tried Stylix (kde.enable = true does nothing for Dolphin or nheko), the official Catppuccin flake (dropped GTK support, sets QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE which breaks nheko). I know it's possible to theme Qt apps because I've had it working before, but I can't find any info on how to do it with NixOS that works..

Yeah, I did find the page, but it assumes you're doing a command line install whilst I was using the graphical installer. Now that I know more about Nix I think I should've gone for a CLI install, but I don't know if I will stick with it due to the themeing issues.

Honestly I saw btrfs in the arch install guide and read about it because I thought the name sounded funny. I used it until I distro hopped to NixOS couldn't figure out how to install it with btrfs, so I'm back on ext4.

Maybe I'll give it another try next hop, which is likely soon since Qt theming seems impossible on Nix. :/

Looks great! Do you often use TTY login over a graphical display manager?

I wore a Pinetime for a while, sadly the touchscreen can't beat the Pebble's buttons. I'd buy a Pinetime with buttons and a non-touch reflective LCD in a heartbeat though! I was looking at BangleJS or Watchy as replacements but I'm really unsure about the durability and how usable they'd be (I need just the time and notifications, maps/navigation is a big plus tho).

A good 90% I'd say. All my devices run Linux (NixOS laptop, Ubuntu server, LineageOS phone).

Non-FOSS stuff:

• AMD GPU in my Framework 16 laptop means the only unfree package on my laptop is Steam.
• The proprietary apps I do run on my phone are TooGoodToGo and my bank as I'm not aware of alternatives.
• I wear a Pebble Time Steel smartwatch, also not aware of any alternatives.
• PS5 controller firmware has no replacement.

I don't browse the surface web a lot and when I do I tend to disable JS, so I avoid most of the nonfree JS. I have no social media accounts besides Mastodon, Matrix, and Lemmy, which are all free :)

As an extension, all my close family runs Linux on their computers, as it ended up being lower maintenance than setting them up with Windows when time came to upgrade.

You can kinda get autofill via a program called rofi-rbw on Wayland desktops (using wtype), but I found at least on Hyprland it often misses the field or the start of the password. I'd like to see a more consistent solution but definitely not via the official Electron app...

Thanks, I can't think of it as anything but duke nukem forever now. Your comment made my day.

Wow yeah, your position sounds awesome. I guess if I were in an indie studio I could be in charge of the engine or like, dev environments. I've found such benefit in doing gamedev on Linux, even if targeting Windows via cross-compiling, it's so much faster and nicer. But what company would be willing to hire an intern to move over their whole workflow... not happening lol.

I am very serious about using Linux exclusively. I have ported/rewritten all of my university's course materials in my past two years of gamedev studies and made them available for others. But the time has come to do an internship and I have yet to find a single studio I could be at while still using Linux. I feel like I reached a dead end tbh

This is a good option for most of it, as the bridges seem quite solid. Sadly it won't make up for calls (some courses have extra content in the form of "Discord Stages" which is like a big video call).
