@eveeifyeve:matrix.orgeveeifyeveBut toArx fully works even with graphics.14:29:19
@eveeifyeve:matrix.orgeveeifyeve* But toArx in the bundlers repo fully works even with graphics.14:29:29
@eveeifyeve:matrix.orgeveeifyeve* But toArx in the bundlers repo fully works even with graphics. I have tested it.14:29:36
@k900:0upti.meK900Look14:29:42
@k900:0upti.meK900I can't explain the entire history of Graphics Drivers In Containers Are Completely Fucked to you right now14:30:04
@k900:0upti.meK900But you can go look at the kind of shit Valve is doing to make it even remotely workable14:30:16
@k900:0upti.meK900There are fundamental design issues here that can't be solved by symlinks or bind mounts or whatever14:30:44
@k900:0upti.meK900And fixing that would require an ecosystem wide effort with vendor involvement14:31:37
@k900:0upti.meK900Which, to be clear, I'd love to see happen14:31:41
@k900:0upti.meK900But unless someone wants to throw, like, six figures at it, it probably isn't going to14:32:07
@eveeifyeve:matrix.orgeveeifyeveThis is in OCI images?14:32:28
@k900:0upti.meK900The best you can hope for is some sort of flatpak-style drivers-in-a-sidecar mechanism14:32:30
@eveeifyeve:matrix.orgeveeifyeve* This is in OCI images or application containers?14:32:40
@k900:0upti.meK900This is in any container14:32:36
@k900:0upti.meK900Anything that requires you to combine drivers from one system with software from another14:32:52
@eveeifyeve:matrix.orgeveeifyeve* This is in OCI container or application containers?14:32:59
@eveeifyeve:matrix.orgeveeifyeveJust try the default bundler in https://github.com/NixOS/bundlers/tree/master just to see if there is issue. Because I am sure that you haven't tried it yet.14:34:06
@k900:0upti.meK900Look I'm not going to set up an entire demo system to prove a point14:34:42
@k900:0upti.meK900But I can promise you there are systems where it's not actually going to work correctly14:35:09
@k900:0upti.meK900 Because it working correctly is, again, physically impossible 14:35:22
@k900:0upti.meK900If you want to see explosions, just go bundle something from, like, NixOS 24.11, and run it on Fedora Rawhide14:36:06
@eveeifyeve:matrix.orgeveeifyeveI only care about bundling something in 26.05 and greater.14:36:52
@eveeifyeve:matrix.orgeveeifyeve* I only care about bundling something in 26.05 and greater as that is the supported versions of nixos.14:37:17
@k900:0upti.meK900So you're just going to have the same problem in two years14:37:19
@k900:0upti.meK900(or, more realistically, in one glibc upgrade)14:37:49
@k900:0upti.meK900Actually I'm pretty sure 25.11 on Fedora Rawhide will also blow up14:37:58
@k900:0upti.meK900Which is very much a Supported Version of NixOS14:38:07
@axel_w:matrix.orgaxwIs there a way to lock applications to a specific workspace declaratively? I find that after every update the prefrence is reset. So… is there a nix option?16:32:24
@axel_w:matrix.orgaxwI know that yabai and stuff exists, I try to rely on native features as much as possible though. I find that a combination of stage manager and workspaces with keyboard shortcuts and raycast works rather well16:34:02
