tazjin has joined #nixos-officehours
<tazjin>
gchristensen: I think I joined successfully
<tazjin>
not entirely sure
<worldofpeace>
^
<gchristensen>
worldofpeace: want to join?
<worldofpeace>
huh suddenly I'm gone? :D
<gchristensen>
eh?
<gchristensen>
it looks like you muted yourself
<samueldr>
:/ as expected, zoom had to crash the system at least once here :)
<gchristensen>
guh
<samueldr>
though it's great it happened before this all started
<flokli>
zimbatm wrote something serving a nix attribute path over http
<flokli>
at last years nixcon
<samueldr>
it was briefly talked about in the first office hours I think
<flokli>
ok
<gchristensen>
if anyone has PRs to discuss, now is the time! :)
<tazjin>
scoates: that's a cool idea!
<samueldr>
an interesting idea about the isos, is shipping gnome3 with wayland instead of X11
<aanderse>
tazjin++ for awesome talk :)
<{^_^}>
tazjin's karma got increased to 12
<gchristensen>
also, if anyone needs help with any project or question -- please speak up!
<tazjin>
aanderse: thanks! :)
<tazjin>
I hope it wasn't too wonky, I didn't have that much time to prepare - but the next iterations of the demos are going to be a bit more polished!
<aanderse>
i've never used those technologies so it was pretty interesting for me to listen :)
<samueldr>
tazjin: not much wonky; the usual "first time sharing a screen to an audience" I think
<samueldr>
(e.g. "is it too small")
<samueldr>
so tazjin++ you did well :)
<{^_^}>
tazjin's karma got increased to 13
<tazjin>
samueldr: yeah normally if I had more time to prepare I'd get something set up with a window manager that isn't EXWM, it's very good for being productive - not for sharing a screen ;D
<tazjin>
samueldr: isn't wayland p. much the default for most mainstream distributions already?
<samueldr>
tazjin: wasn't exactly a flaw; just saying that you didn't look unprepared :D
<samueldr>
tazjin: AFAIK maybe, for gnome only
<aanderse>
gchristensen: eelco mentioned more to run, does that mean a concern with lack of resources?
<__monty__>
Since you basically *need* an internet connection to install nixos anyway I kinda agree. As long as it's clear that plasma's just *a* choice for the live environment and not specifically endorsed.
<aanderse>
gchristensen: thanks again for hosting! :)
<gchristensen>
thank you for coming!
<stew>
debian's solution for the problem you were discussing is "jigdo, the jigsaw downloader" which was a tool that would download the individual packages and assemble the varios iso flavors on the fly from the parts: http://atterer.org/jigdo/#why
<adisbladis>
If anything wouldn't a more minimal environment be preferable?
<stew>
though I don't think it ever was used very commonly, because its just not as simple as downloading an iso, so I'm not sure its a good thing for trying to fix an ergonomics issue
<worldofpeace>
new users don't like to install in a minimal environment
<samueldr>
we can shed a bunch of bytes by removing the compiler closure
<gchristensen>
let's go to #nixos-dev :)
<worldofpeace>
Also I don't feel like to many techinical points would hold strong in a UX sense. Another ISO is to cater to the users. Like more sugar makes something sweeter
<worldofpeace>
But you can't have too much or it spoils it.
<gchristensen>
stew: I didn't realize you were ex freenode staff!
<stew>
I have the emotional scars to prove it, hehe
