To anyone who needs this in the future, a lot of scanners need some extra firmware files (found on their backend’s subpage, accessible from here) and those can be added to your nix configuration in a way some good people discovered here. Knowing all this would have saved me around 3 hours yesterday, so you’re welcome.
another day another game of whack-a-mole commenting out packages just to get a rebuild to not fail
I’m have been NixOS curious for quite a while now. I am afraid I will be consumed by it, if I fully commit.
NixOS, Helix, and Hyprland 😁 But I’m graduated, so I just procrastinate everything else instead.
Sell me on Helix real quick. I’ve heard about it and it looks interesting but I’m not sure what the hook is.
I came from vscode and nano. I wanted something within the terminal as powerful as vscode. I tried doom emacs and vim but they didn’t feel right.
Reasons I use it:
- I found it easier to learn than vim/emacs in my opinion
- Written in rust
- Pretty easy to get language servers running
- config is super easy
