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.

Relatable. I spend my whole day ricing my linux. I use arch btw

I once spent half an hour fiddling with the font sizes in Mint. Does that count?

You gotta pump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers.

That is very fast. I count in days.

NixOS, Helix, and Hyprland š 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:

It's better than the Dome fossil. #PraiseHelix

I initially read that as "It's better than dome." Which is an objectively solid pitch for anything.

One well rounded package that doesn't need a complicated config or possibly unmaintained plugins.

I stopped using emacs because I was spending more time in config files than actually doing anything useful

Look into Helix :D
Itās missing pluginsā¦ but aside from that, as of now, itās about as configurationless as it can get.
I just have some extra keys mapped and thatās it. Single <30 line config file.

Hot take, micro is the best text editor. Easy keybinds Has plugins
Works very well for editing text

I'm have been NixOS curious for quite a while now. I am afraid I will be consumed by it, if I fully commit.

Addressing your concerns in order: You should be. You will. It's not up to you.

another day another game of whack-a-mole commenting out packages just to get a rebuild to not fail

Kinda like biology: knock out a gene (package) and see what happens.
