 emily | macOS 14 is our baseline requirement | 22:01:58 |
| emily | (it may work, but YMMV) | 22:02:04 |
| emily | it's out of security support from Apple fwiw | 22:02:20 |
| emily | maybe consider OCLP if your hardware doesn't natively support newer releases | 22:02:32 |
 shoe | my hardware supports up to macos 14 but 'supporting' and 'being usable' are two different things | 22:02:58 |
| shoe | its a 2019 air | 22:03:08 |
| shoe | i've been slumming it out with sonoma but atp i'm fed up. i tried ventura first but that doesn't really offer an improvement. meanwhile monterey is butter | 22:04:18 |
 raitobezarius | anyway, welcome at Lix, just wanted to set expectations straight :) | 22:09:04 |
| emily | the Intel Mac experience is pretty miserable at this point | 22:13:12 |
| shoe | complete horses*** luck buying this ewaste right before apple silicon | 22:13:53 |
| shoe | thankfully i have a desktop and a work laptop, i couldn't imagine this being my primary system like it was in college | 22:14:26 |
| raitobezarius | i wonder if the linux port experience can salvage Intel Macs these days, T2 for Linux IIRC? | 22:14:46 |
| shoe | nope | 22:14:51 |
| shoe | went there first | 22:14:55 |
| shoe | u close the lid u have to force restart lmao | 22:15:02 |
| raitobezarius | I don't know well the Mac ecosystem, so I believe you | 22:15:05 |

 vczf | Is there a reason why the following is not an officially recommended way of installing lix?
nixpkgs.overlays = [(final: prev: {
nix = pkgs.lixPackageSets.stable.lix;
})];
I did this to force disko to use lix and I haven’t run into any broken tooling so far. It sees like a dumb fix that actually works pretty well | 03:47:57 |
 whispers [& it/fae] | there is certain software that breaks with that because it links into e.g. libnixstore | 03:49:00 |
| whispers [& it/fae] | * | 03:49:33 |
| whispers [& it/fae] | but that is something you can do and to my understanding that is what the nixos-module does (https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/nixos-module/src/branch/main/overlay.nix) (though that module is only intended for lix-on-main users) | 03:50:49 |

| vczf | Ah I see | 03:52:08 |
