2·
1 year ago@PuppyOSAndCoffee I have a laptop with an Intel GPU with Iris graphics. Initially it was a huge pain to get it working as the kernel version to support it hadn’t been released yet. However, NixOS gave me enough freedom to set my kernel version to a release candidate that fixed it. Now that they’ve rolled the new kernel into the main nixpkgs the graphics work fine.
And for what it’s worth, my desktop with an nvidia gtx1080 works just fine with NixOS (at least for casual gaming) by allowing it to run unfree software and telling it to use an nvidia driver.

I hate it for the same reason I hate most foods with seeds in them. I want to know what I’m biting into and when it’s going to be crunchy or not and not an uneven texture.
