@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

@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeI linked this over in the Swift channel, but I'm also linking it here. Having to use platform libs for Swift then having the platform drop one of them is really annoying. I don’t know whether anyone was using it, but still.23:44:33
