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

| 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 |

 adrian-gierakowski | sorry if this has been discussed before, but looking at https://hydra.nix-community.org/jobset/nixpkgs/cuda-stable#tabs-evaluations the last Job I'm seeing was a week ago. I thought this jobset was following nixos-unstable-small (although now that I've checked, it's nixos-25.05-small) | 16:11:35 |

 tpw_rules | hey. i had previously sympathzied with samuela and like i said before had some of the same frustrations. i just edited my github comment to add "[CUDA] packages are universally complicated, fragile to package, and critical to daily operations. Nix being able to manage them is unbelievably helpful to those of us who work with them regularly, even if support is downgraded to only having an expectation of function on stable branches." | 03:29:14 |
