 K900 | Can you run systemsettings from a terminal, go to that page, and see if there's any errors logged? | 19:15:18 |
| gunboat_diplomat | I can happily select it in the wallpaper settings but they're devoid of...well...settings. | 19:15:22 |
| gunboat_diplomat | One sec | 19:15:34 |
| gunboat_diplomat | Uh...yeah so one, boy howdy were there errors. Two...running system settings from terminal apparently has the settings show-up. | 19:16:38 |

| K900 | OK that sounds weird | 19:17:02 |
| K900 | Is this 24.05 or unstable? | 19:17:06 |
| gunboat_diplomat | 24.05 unless I did something wacky with the installer | 19:17:22 |
| K900 | Hmm | 19:17:47 |
| K900 | Maybe try unstable | 19:17:50 |
| K900 | I think this may be the Qt major version mismatch nonsense | 19:18:03 |
| K900 | But we're not backporting that | 19:18:08 |
| gunboat_diplomat | Qt major version mismatch nonsense? | 19:18:19 |
| K900 | This is really more of a comment to the other maintainers in the room | 19:18:36 |
| K900 | The solution for you as an end user is to try unstable | 19:18:43 |
| gunboat_diplomat | Drat. Okay I'll try that when I get home. I was hoping I could stay on stable and only use unstable packages for things I actually want the latest-and-greatest for. | 19:19:28 |
| K900 | Unstable is not "unstable" as in "has bugs" | 19:19:43 |
| K900 | It's unstable as in "has no stable API" | 19:19:47 |
| K900 | But it's perfectly fine for day to day use | 19:19:55 |
| gunboat_diplomat | So...I'm not basically running the same thing as a rolling release if I switch to unstable? | 19:20:15 |
| K900 | You are | 19:20:22 |
| K900 | But you are running rolling release verified by hundreds (literally) of integration tests | 19:20:32 |
| K900 | And you have the ability to roll in the other direction at any point | 19:20:55 |
| gunboat_diplomat | So...a bit less spooky than Arch one would say? I'm coming from endeavourOS | 19:21:03 |
| K900 | In my experience, NixOS unstable fails a lot less than Arch | 19:21:19 |
| gunboat_diplomat | Well that's reassuring. | 19:21:33 |
 @patka:envs.net | And even if it does somehow break you select an older release during boot and don't update for a few days | 19:23:04 |
| gunboat_diplomat | Oh right. Still have that safety net then. | 19:23:49 |
| gunboat_diplomat | The safety net of being able to rollback to a known-good state was the killer feature that convinced me to try this. Because having a system just not boot and having work that needs to be done is not stress I need in my life again. XD | 19:25:07 |
