Seriously, the learning curve of nixOS is still... exhausting. Couldn't get it to run with plasma 6 and wayland and the documentation is so incomplete.

That's unfortunately true. There's a community effort to document stuff without going through the lengthy process of getting it approved by overworked maintainers: https://nixlang.wiki

Feel free to contribute your learnings there.

Are you starting fresh or did it work with another DE? Might help in tracking down the problem

[-] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Fresh install on a VM. Was a bit confused that the default was Xorg. Changing both to wayland and to Plasma 6 was too complicated for me.

With plasma 6, you need

services.xserver.displayManager.defaultSession = "plasma";

instead of " plasmawayland", since wayland has become the default

But do I still need all that xserver.enabled = true business?

At least rolling back after you broke it was easy. :)

[-] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 3 points 8 months ago

When it's the first thing you tried after a fresh install, it's quite frustrating.

Oh yeah, I've been running nix for a week, it can't even find plz6 after I added unstable and updated. Lost a couple hours to the attempt, rollback was 30 sec tho
