 mei 🌒& | the laptop is sitting flatish on the desk with x2x running so I can use its keyboard for the desktop | 17:08:27 |

I still need to compile one or another package in Nix, so I need a reasonable fast CPU (Or in case of retroarch, 90+ packages) | 17:08:52 |
| mei 🌒& | there's a keyboard around that has stuff on it that i use when i reboot once in forever | 17:08:58 |
| * mei 🌒& goes to check prom | 17:09:12 |
| k0kada (he/him) | * Considering that my Deck does 400Hz osu (with a few hiccups, but I think it is for thermal constraints) I think any AMD 7xxx will work once they have more availiability | 17:09:46 |
| mei 🌒& | ugh I should really store more history | 17:10:47 |
| mei 🌒& | 
Download image.png | 17:10:52 |
| k0kada (he/him) | I think that if Deck had a convenient way to run a fast external storage I would even just ditch a laptop and install NixOS in an external NVMe drive | 17:15:02 |
| k0kada (he/him) | I don't use my laptop as a laptop | 17:15:12 |
| mei 🌒& | probably same, but I am a sucker for a big keyboard and screen | 17:15:34 |
| mei 🌒& | need the clicky feeling.. | 17:16:08 |

probably same, but I am a sucker for a big keyboard and screen Yeah, this is what I meant, just the Deck docked with an external keyboard and monitor | 17:16:33 |
| k0kada (he/him) | And fast storage | 17:16:39 |
| k0kada (he/him) | Well, the CPU performance on Deck is limited, but except for when I recompile too many things in NixOS this isn't a huge problem | 17:17:12 |
| mei 🌒& | even my desktop struggles to rebuild my config when its nixpkgs update time | 17:17:40 |
| mei 🌒& | too many patches | 17:17:50 |
| mei 🌒& | speaking of nixpkgs update time.. I think it's now maybe | 17:18:01 |
| k0kada (he/him) | I just build my whole config in GitHub Actions | 17:18:38 |
| mei 🌒& | aha the builder would run out of ram here | 17:18:52 |
| mei 🌒& | i have a host that runs a few services but was born to build the nixos config | 17:19:17 |
| k0kada (he/him) | Oh rly? What you're building there to end the available RAM? | 17:19:21 |
| mei 🌒& | it's not very good at it either | 17:19:23 |
| k0kada (he/him) | I build even Emacs and it works fine :P | 17:19:29 |
| k0kada (he/him) | It takes a while though | 17:19:38 |
| mei 🌒& | yeah I got pissed off by gtk4 once and patched nixpkgs to bring all the gtk3 apps back | 17:20:24 |
| k0kada (he/him) | I see | 17:20:37 |
| mei 🌒& | so I just have to build all of them every time | 17:20:37 |

This is why I hate macOS
| 17:21:06 |
| k0kada (he/him) | It is going to be faster to login in my NixOS machine and download this image again them to try to flash the pendrive on macOS | 17:21:55 |
| mei 🌒& | work lappy? | 17:22:55 |
