 sjfloat | Well, probably not. Again, it's not the audio visual performance that's giving me troub.e | 17:52:36 |
| sjfloat | Well, it could be whatever wireplumber's doing to wire things up. That's dynamic with pipewire. | 17:53:12 |
| sjfloat | I've observed it wiring things up when I hit a page with AV. | 17:53:36 |
 Chris McDonough | ah ok | 17:54:01 |
| sjfloat | It's just an extraneous layer that I don't need for the particular things I do. | 17:55:07 |
| sjfloat | Same for pulseaudio, but I didn't observe the performance hit. | 17:55:46 |
| sjfloat | Anyway, I need to experiment with different system configs and see what I can work out. | 17:56:10 |
| Chris McDonough | true dat | 17:56:58 |
| sjfloat | At least more things are working for me now that have been broken for quite a long time. | 17:59:14 |
| Chris McDonough | one of the things i love about nixos -- or maybe that i've come to hate about other distros -- is that it is never useless to figure stuff out in nix, cuz you fix it once | 18:02:36 |
| Chris McDonough | i could never keep track of which machines had which fixes, i'm not that disciplined :) | 18:03:02 |
| Chris McDonough | but nixos makes that so easy | 18:03:10 |
| sjfloat | Totally. I was on Debian for many years, but I couldn't go back now. | 18:03:30 |
| Chris McDonough | i hear you, i was just talking with a sysadmin friend last night; i had turned him on to nixos a month prior and he's like what have you done to me, everything else is terrible :) | 18:04:12 |
| sjfloat | Yep | 18:05:29 |
| sjfloat | And he probably doesn't use it in his day job, either. | 18:05:56 |
| Chris McDonough | he cant. he works for the DoD lol | 18:06:08 |
| Chris McDonough | he's screwed | 18:06:11 |
| sjfloat | Ugh | 18:06:17 |

|  eyes1238 joined the room. | 00:29:12 |
| eyes1238 | I've been on a quest for getting my music making setup back for some time, just on linux in general | 00:30:01 |
| eyes1238 | really glad to find a chat like this :) | 00:30:15 |
| eyes1238 | how's everyone else | 00:30:25 |
| eyes1238 | * how's everyone else's luck with vst emulation on nixos? any useful flakes or things i should know about? | 00:30:47 |
| sjfloat | I've not done a lot with that. Does it require wine or something? | 01:07:10 |
| sjfloat | I've stuck mainly to the usual LADSPA and LV2. | 01:08:36 |
| sjfloat | I'm interested in writing some of my own, probably with Faust. | 01:09:37 |
|  NixOS Moderation Bot joined the room. | 01:21:39 |
| eyes1238 | I use yabridge, which yes is wine based, and its incredibly easy to use on a normal distro | 01:25:03 |
| eyes1238 | harder on nixos... requires some environment variable fuckery | 01:25:21 |
