 Vladimír Čunát | * Note: I think that we do not offer the ISO on any official place anymore, e.g. https://channels.nixos.org/nixos-unstable/latest-nixos-plasma5-x86_64-linux.iso.sha256 | 16:21:45 |
 K900 | Yeah, I removed it from channel-scripts a while ago | 16:21:50 |
| Vladimír Čunát | So you'd have to... click on the Hydra job? | 16:22:19 |
 emily | yeah I was confused since the site doesn't offer it anyway | 16:22:43 |
| emily | I don't think an upgrade from "dig through Hydra" to "offered in the default installer" is a good idea | 16:23:03 |
| emily | ElvishJerricco: btw, you'll want to send a PR for https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-homepage to land with 25.05's release | 16:23:26 |
| K900 | It's always offered in the installer | 16:24:35 |
| K900 | As in, it's offered in all the installers | 16:24:48 |
| emily | ah, I see | 16:24:43 |
| emily | (can you tell I don't use the graphical installer?) | 16:24:51 |
| K900 | The installer is the exact same on all ISOs | 16:25:01 |
| emily | I think if we are putting warnings on everything we should not offer it as part of our new-user-friendly installer thing. | 16:25:17 |
| emily | I can't think of any circumstances in which someone installing a 25.05 Plasma 5 machine without an existing config would be a great idea we'd want to recommend. | 16:25:31 |
| K900 | True | 16:25:47 |
| K900 | https://github.com/NixOS/calamares-nixos-extensions/pull/52 | 16:29:42 |
| K900 | Yeet proposed | 16:29:44 |
| emily | lgtm. I think ElvishJerricco can merge | 16:31:24 |
| emily | I'm shocked my "put GNOME and Plasma on the same ISO" idea worked so well | 16:31:43 |
| emily | there's definitely some stuff we can trim to make the size growth over the previous GNOME ISO not as bad, but I really thought we'd be in for a ~doubling | 16:32:01 |
| emily | I think we're going to be the only distro offering that :) | 16:32:14 |
 ElvishJerricco | I will take a look at the context of this conversation in a little bit. But yea the PR seems good to merge for obvious reasons | 16:44:53 |
| ElvishJerricco | (This is rather admitting; changes we want to make to the graphical installer have to go through an entire release; really wish it were in-tree) | 16:48:54 |
| ElvishJerricco | * (This is rather annoying; changes we want to make to the graphical installer have to go through an entire release; really wish it were in-tree) | 16:49:08 |
| K900 | Maybe we should just yoink it into-tree | 16:49:57 |
| ElvishJerricco | That'd be nice | 16:50:06 |
| emily | my only nitpick was that I don't like "Linux <exactversion>" and "Linux LTS" | 16:52:20 |
| emily | I'd prefer "Linux latest" and "Linux LTS" | 16:52:20 |
| emily | the kernel won't be pinned to <exactversion> on install, and users generally won't know if the <exactversion> is older or newer than LTS | 16:52:38 |
 hexa | It won't be pinned, but showing the exact version number early makes sense | 16:55:08 |
| hexa | when you know the version bounds for certain features or hw support | 16:55:33 |
