 K900 | And most of the tooling is even open source! | 07:38:31 |
 @lotte:chir.rs | that would require reading it though, which i haven’t | 07:38:34 |
| K900 | Well if you're interested I recommend taking a look | 07:38:50 |
| K900 | It's really good stuff | 07:38:53 |
| @lotte:chir.rs | yeah | 07:38:55 |
 woobilicious | Yeah, but still handy to know about. | 07:41:02 |
 @exaltia:chat.exaltia.fr | I'm so used to see something lacking documentation that i've readed at first "it's weirdly well documented"... | 12:34:06 |
 Marie | what is the special case they mention regarding NixOS? | 12:56:26 |
| K900 | Which one? | 12:56:45 |
| Marie | in distro-assumptions.md | 12:56:55 |
| Marie | If a particular assumption is troublesome for a particular operating system,
we can discuss whether it can be avoided.
For example, the container runtime framework has several special cases
intended to benefit Flatpak, Exherbo, NixOS and Guix. | 12:57:02 |

| K900 | They basically have trusted paths for libraries | 12:58:33 |
| K900 | So you can't just LD_PRELOAD whatever | 12:58:33 |
| K900 | They originally only allowed /usr and /lib | 12:58:44 |
| K900 | But they also added /nix/store and /gnu/store and I think a couple more weird paths | 13:02:30 |
|  Hayden R. (they/them) changed their display name from softwing 🩷💛🤍💜💙 (he/they/it) to Hayden R. (they/them). | 16:32:37 |
| Hayden R. (they/them) changed their profile picture. | 16:39:54 |
| Hayden R. (they/them) removed their profile picture. | 16:42:20 |
| Marie changed their profile picture. | 20:11:43 |

| woobilicious | Valve should just use nix instead of rolling their own container lol. | 01:20:51 |
 colemickens | so does UMU work with any Steam game? I assume the games had runtime deps on Steam (... and Steam running) ? | 05:36:33 |
| colemickens | Or is it more specifically about using the steam proton tooling for non-steam windows games? | 05:37:07 |
| colemickens | I feel like I took a year off of Linux gaming and need a new map! 🥲 | 05:37:25 |
| K900 | UMU is specifically running Proton | 05:41:05 |
| K900 | Like it's basically replicating what Steam does to run Proton | 05:41:31 |
| K900 | With pressure-vessel and stuff | 05:41:33 |
| colemickens | let me rephrase :) can I use UMU/Faugus to launch Halo: Infinite, installed via Steam, without needing Steam running? | 05:41:35 |
| colemickens | (I can take this elsewhere, also; it's certainly not NixOS specific) | 05:41:48 |
| K900 | Depends on whether the game actually talks to Steam or not | 05:42:08 |
