@ihar.hrachyshka:matrix.orgIhar Hrachyshkai think if you want acceleration, something like krunkit / libkrun could give you that but I am not aware of ready recipes to run nixos through it.19:25:48
@g5pw:matrix.orgg5pwI would definitely wait for the next minor bump, IIRC there will be a performance/bugfix release22:12:17

hmm - this is something new. Seems to use apple hypervisor api. But not sure how much GPU support it provides. Thanks, will look into it

@ihar.hrachyshka:matrix.orgIhar Hrachyshkai think its primary target is llm acceleration via vulkan apis, not sure about the rest19:54:36

@axman6:matrix.orgAxman6 Does anyone know why, when using nix-darwin and home-manager zsh no longer knows anything about system man pages? Things like kqueue aren't found, nor any other pages like man 2 read 01:41:12
@axman6:matrix.orgAxman6I don't appear to have MANPATH set in my login shell at all, but man works for packages from Nix01:41:46
@ironm00n:matrix.orgironmoon joined the room.06:22:01
@bestlem:matrix.orgbestlem I think home-manager installs its own man see what which man returns
/usr/bin/man kqueue works
Unfortunately I don't know what needs configuring to change this.
11:11:15
@bestlem:matrix.orgbestlemI think the kqueue manpage is here /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/share/man/man2/kqueue.2 So the macOS sdk needs to be added to MANPATH or the configuration11:27:33

@k900:0upti.meK900 @Randy Eckenrode Mesa 26.0 is out 19:22:38
@k900:0upti.meK900I've been running the rcs for a few days so I'll just merge it19:22:47
@k900:0upti.meK900But kosmickrisp should be possible now, conceptually19:23:01
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeI’ve been tracking the RCs on my dev branch. I can open a PR to add support once Mesa 26.0 is merged (or push the commit to the update PR). It won’t include any GLX cleanup. That can be done separately.19:25:59
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy Eckenrode It won’t include the vulkan-loader change because it still needs some work to be the default. There have been fixes and improvements since the branch-off, so maybe Mesa 26.1. 19:27:06
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy Eckenrodehttps://support.apple.com/en-us/12634823:21:31
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeThat’s a lot of security-related fixes in macOS 26.3.23:21:48
