 Robbie Buxton | That’s cool! | 15:06:26 |
 Atix | nope | 15:06:55 |
| Atix | interschool stuff | 15:06:58 |
| Atix | im a 14 year old | 15:07:00 |
| Robbie Buxton | Ahhhhh ok | 15:07:06 |
| Robbie Buxton | I would say to start try and get a nix flake with PyTorch working | 15:07:23 |
| Robbie Buxton | And if you can get an end to end training run going | 15:07:35 |
| Atix | i wanna contribute to nix/nixos | 15:07:49 |
| Robbie Buxton | That would be a good start! | 15:07:55 |

i wanna contribute to nix/nixos Sure but you need to start somewhere to have things to contribute! | 15:08:11 |
| Robbie Buxton | I think most of us here are working on related things and then contributing to nix/nixos along the way | 15:09:03 |
| Atix | thank you! | 15:09:07 |
| Robbie Buxton | I.e packaging new things we want to try | 15:09:15 |
| Robbie Buxton | Or fixing bugs we come across | 15:09:25 |
| Robbie Buxton | So I’d come up with a project idea and then try and do it in nix/with nixos | 15:09:46 |
| Robbie Buxton | I’m sure you’ll have plenty of opportunities to contribute if you do that! | 15:10:06 |
 SomeoneSerge (back on matrix) | The other active channels are nixos rocm, and also maybe Matthew's nixified.ai (but I think it's more of a user group than a dev room). There's also an HPC and a Data Science channels under nixos-org, and Bionix, - but there's not much happening there I'm afraid | 15:10:37 |

| Atix | :3 | 15:59:09 |
| Atix | see the wayland section under configuring | 16:01:41 |
| Atix | how is it? :D | 16:11:27 |

how is it? :D Wdym | 16:17:48 |
| SomeoneSerge (back on matrix) | I think I had run Sway on an nvidia machine for some time but ultimately rolled back to i3 (and now I only have access to headless nvidia) | 16:22:51 |
| SomeoneSerge (back on matrix) | Basically, it was occasionally OK, but then you bump the kernel and it flickers again | 16:23:22 |
| SomeoneSerge (back on matrix) | Had to keep the kernelPackages pinned most of the time too | 16:23:37 |
| SomeoneSerge (back on matrix) | I'm afraid even NixOS cannot fixes all of NVIDIA's problems | 16:24:07 |
| SomeoneSerge (back on matrix) | * I'm afraid even NixOS cannot fix all of NVIDIA's problems | 16:24:14 |
| SomeoneSerge (back on matrix) | Best if you have an integrated graphics to keep your display on... | 16:25:23 |
 Kevin Mittman (UTC-7) | I use swaywm with --unsupported-gpu (though not on nixos) | 16:39:04 |
 Gaétan Lepage | Same | 16:51:42 |
