K900 | And see how many people get hit | 16:20:25 |
K900 | And if it's not many, we can yeet it faster | 16:20:33 |
emily | I can imagine the downside being, someone who knows how to use Plasma 5 but not 6 and has an existing config they want to apply might struggle to use the ISO? but that feels like a stretch especially when we'll expect them to learn how to use 6 by 25.11 | 16:20:36 |
K900 | It's not that different anyway | 16:20:48 |
K900 | Unless you have a giga riced Plasma 5 config I guess | 16:20:54 |
emily | "the convenient install options are all for the version we intend to support" seems like the right nudge | 16:20:56 |
K900 | But if you have a riced Plasma 5 config you probably know Plasma 6 exists | 16:21:02 |
Vladimír Čunát | Note: I believe 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 | 16:21:32 |

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 |
