@whiteblackgoose:matrix.orgWhiteBlackGoose Hi
Does overlay over gnome allow to overlay Mutter?
19:37:24
@whiteblackgoose:matrix.orgWhiteBlackGoose

I mean

  nixpkgs.overlays = [
    (final: prev: {
      gnome = prev.gnome // {
        mutter = prev.gnome.mutter.overrideAttrs {

19:37:47
@whiteblackgoose:matrix.orgWhiteBlackGooseand another question I'm trying out the Mutter by Daniel van Dugt who is working on triple buffering But I cannot figure out the way to make sure I'm actually on the right one I don't feel any difference after I wrote the overlay, and also it didn't take any time to build Mutter so I suppose I'm on the same one19:39:21
@whiteblackgoose:matrix.orgWhiteBlackGooseaand another Q now that I'm rebooted it's a lot smoother so I guess it gets slower over time Why is that happening though?19:45:39

      gnome = prev.gnome // {
        mutter = prev.gnome.mutter.overrideAttrs {

Use gnome = prev.gnome.overrideScope' (gnomeFinal: gnomePrev: {…})

@jtojnar:matrix.orgJan Tojnar with //, the packages in gnome scope would keep referring to the old mutter 21:34:25
