emily | admittedly that's more for Nix code | 19:29:26 |
ElvishJerricco | but I'm looking forward to it | 19:29:31 |
K900 | The good news is that the only GPL thing is the Python code | 19:52:37 |
K900 | Which is fucking awful and needs to be rewritten | 19:52:53 |
K900 | So if it comes to that | 19:52:57 |

emily | K900: btw we should probably trim down the DE options | 14:39:36 |
emily | e.g. https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/422090 | 14:39:43 |
K900 | It will be much easier to do after we land calamares | 14:40:43 |
emily | yeah I just meant since you were ripping stuff out anyway | 14:45:01 |
emily | I can try and take a look at that PR when you think it's ready | 14:45:08 |
K900 | The big chunks of it are ready | 14:46:18 |
K900 | It just needs a lot of polishing | 14:46:30 |
K900 | And there's only that much polishing I can do on this particular turd in a day | 14:46:42 |
emily | fair enough | 15:02:52 |
emily | I just thought you still considered it draft status | 15:02:58 |
K900 | I mean | 15:06:07 |
K900 | It's draft until I can polish it | 15:06:11 |
| 7 Aug 2025 |
K900 | OK I think I have fully calamared | 11:19:30 |
K900 | @emily @ElvishJerricco pls review | 11:19:35 |
emily | ok in a lil bit | 13:05:03 |
emily | K900: going by the balance of reactions in https://discourse.nixos.org/t/negativity-around-the-graphical-installer/67646, you sure you don't want to try just dropping it? :p | 13:43:21 |
K900 | I'd rather fix it | 13:45:34 |
K900 | tbh | 13:45:35 |
emily | I'm somewhat sceptical it can be fixed on a conceptual level (as a point-and-click no-code installer for a distro that immediately requires you to edit code in a text editor and run a CLI tool to do anything after) | 13:47:18 |
emily | I'll review the PR though | 13:47:21 |
emily | do your changes fix the 46% thing? | 13:47:56 |
K900 | No | 13:49:52 |
K900 | You need to parse Nix progress output for that | 13:50:04 |
K900 | The only reason it's "stuck at 46%" is because our plugin isn't giving it progress updates | 13:50:40 |
K900 | It's not actually a bug | 13:51:07 |
