joepie91: if you ever get it all figured out, please write it up on the wiki or something.

I have sunk a number of hours into making sure my graphics setup is optimal on NixOS and am still fuzzy on a lot of pieces - whether Chromium and Firefox are using the graphics card optimally, whether or not libva/vaapi is working (it's broken for me on nixos-unstable but no one else has confirmed, etc, etc, etc. And most of that isn't even getting to the harder Nix/GL parts.
<joepie91>
colemickens: most of it is still a mystery to me, too - I'm wondering whether maybe we need a graphics working group
<joepie91>
with some sort of coordinated effort on fixing, documenting, and generally sorting out graphics-related issues
<joepie91>
since it seems a fairly big category of issues
<joepie91>
(with a lot of unsolved bits and pieces in different places)
<__monty__>
Isn't the group behind vulkan doing precisely that?
<__monty__>
Or are you talking NixOS graphics specificall?
<__monty__>
s/\?/y?
<joepie91>
__monty__: Nix specifically yeah (not just NixOS, because there's also some unresolved issues with Nix on other distros)
