In reply to @ihar.hrachyshka:matrix.org
i 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.
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

@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.

@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
