 David Arnold (blaggacao) | The difference to the massive workload that oss in general stems would be the relative qualification of the people that tend to using nix. | 05:48:53 |

hmm, a build of the devos iso has me in a situation where I can't detect my boot drive. Do we use the installer module or the lighter weight iso one? | 05:50:56 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | Also, I think if maybe nix shipped with trustix by default any every build was cross referenced and either validated or invalidated by users collectively, we could change the software distribution game for the better. | 05:52:10 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | but then any time software tries to move to a more decentralized distribution mechanism, big money seems to fight will all it's strength to stop it 🤣 | 05:52:36 |
 re-ptarmigan❄️🐦️ | We'll all be computing from inside a wasm in the cloud soon enough haha! | 05:54:39 |
| re-ptarmigan❄️🐦️ | looking at the host I used when I made a boot iso (on usb) it uses suites.base | 05:55:51 |

looking at the host I used when I made a boot iso (on usb) it uses suites.base from devos that is. | 05:56:25 |
| re-ptarmigan❄️🐦️ | it just boots by disk label "nixos" if that was the question | 05:57:04 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | hmm, that is enough to pull in all-hardware.nix. I hope this drive isn't imcompatible with linux proper 😶 | 05:58:08 |
| re-ptarmigan❄️🐦️ | what's the drive/interface? | 05:58:25 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | No, I mean once I'm in the iso, I can't detect the drive I wish to install to | 05:58:35 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | dunno actually, this is the first time I turned it on, but the marketing would have me believe it's an nvme | 05:58:55 |
| re-ptarmigan❄️🐦️ | oh yeah, that could also be mmc, marketing le sigh! | 05:59:22 |
| re-ptarmigan❄️🐦️ | I've got a pipo W12 (snapdragon arm) I want to slap nixos on, I haven't even tried anything yet, just too bogged down on my personal todo to play! | 06:00:50 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | hmm manually loading the nvme module didn't help. I'll try the official installer and see if it's something we are missing in devos, or if this hardware is just obscure. | 06:01:01 |
| re-ptarmigan❄️🐦️ | I've also got an x79 xeon mobo that doesn't want to run the fans any less then 100% I blame it on being a hunanzhi, at least it doesn't complain when I use my own fan controller that doesn't pass the rpm to the board. | 06:03:35 |
| re-ptarmigan❄️🐦️ | Had the wiring so tidy on the first build, now it looks like it's in the grasp of the kraken! with a 5" bay sized display for the fan controller banging around inside. | 06:06:00 |
| re-ptarmigan❄️🐦️ | What's the machine? | 06:08:18 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | darn, even the official iso can't detect it ☹️ | 06:15:16 |
| re-ptarmigan❄️🐦️ | that's 5.4 kernel isn't it? probably wouldn't hurt to roll a devos iso and bump to kernel_latest? | 06:16:04 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | that was what I did first 😭 | 06:21:40 |
| re-ptarmigan❄️🐦️ | no specs on the machine? what's the model? | 06:25:10 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | I could log into to windows to figure that out but 🤮 | 06:35:11 |
| re-ptarmigan❄️🐦️ | I was going to lead with the lesser of two evils and say have you tried ubuntu, dahaha | 06:36:15 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | I think I'll try a fresh arch iso just to cross ref | 06:36:44 |
| re-ptarmigan❄️🐦️ | In my experience nixos has pretty much booted anything as long as I was running unstable 😎 | 06:39:24 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | David Arnold: is the bud iso still using the latest kernel? I just assumed and didn't check | 06:40:41 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | Beware: bud iso uses nixos-generators | 06:41:28 |
