it's so freeing... I was in a funk all week long until yesterday evening about how to rework the mobile-nixos source tree so it'd work better with nixos
<samueldr>
now I can finally progress

joepie91: this has been bothering me for a while and i guess i need to articulate it,
<pie_>
the whole ordeal with a language is either not supported at all or needs a whole infrastructure pulled up around it to work
<pie_>
i guess its just something i didnt really want to acknowledge
<pie_>
(to myself)
<pie_>
maybe nix is doomed to be niche unless the thing you want happens to be well supported
<pie_>
and this isnt really limited to languages, but to anything that needs a huge load of work to work at all..
<pie_>
a lot of "basic" things still need to be packaged manually. when i think about it, thats something we should have solved or at least semi--automated long ago.
<pie_>
well...i guess i got the meat of it out of me.

has anyone gotten NixOS running on a Pixelbook (preferably with something more native than going through SeaBIOS/GRUB)? I see https://github.com/thefloweringash/kevin-nix exists and uses depthcharge, so hopefully I can adapt that if nothing else

jD91mZM2: i'm at 457, which is also a prime :)
<manveru>
also just setup my new notebook, this time with using the home-manager nixos module instead
<manveru>
and now i'm frustrated again that you can't really nixify spacemacs or firefox :|
<qyliss>
you can't nixify spacemacs?
<qyliss>
(I've never used it, but I use nix-y Emacs so I'm surprised)
<manveru>
well, in theory, you can probably :)
<manveru>
but it does its own package management, repo, self-modifying config, etc
<Arahael>
manveru: Haskell stack does the same.
<Arahael>
BUt it's nixified, by making stack itself use nix.
<Arahael>
In emacs, I would assume that it's internal package system would gain nix smarts.
<manveru>
for spacemacs it'd be amazing actually
<manveru>
if each layer also includes the needed external programs via nix
<manveru>
the only editor i fully configure with nix is still neovim atm
<Arahael>
I quite like nvim, yeah.
<manveru>
still gotta check out spacevim
<manveru>
might be easier packaging that
<manveru>
the problem with vim for me is that it has nothing like projectile or magit though
<lassulus>
what feautes has neovim over vim nowadays?
<lassulus>
features*
<qyliss>
Emacs with Nix is fine as long as you don't use the built-in package manager
<qyliss>
Except I haven't figured out a way to install packages without restarting emacs
<qyliss>
But I think that's solvable
<manveru>
qyliss: if that could be combined with the spacemacs layers, i'd be happy

,locate nixos-install

Found in packages: nix-bash-completions
<hyperfekt>
:<
<qyliss>
hyperfekt: the manual tells you how to get it iirc
<qyliss>
I think it might be nix-build '<nixpkgs/nixos>' config.system.build
