Man looking at my old 5960x with it’s 20mb of cache from 2014, and Intel’s current top consumer chip with 36mb.
Crazy to think Intel were ‘ahead of the curve’ so long ago, those x99 chips are still relevant compared to some AM4 chips.

I’ve found that the unstable branch of nixos has almost all the packages that I want / need at the bleeding edge. For more obscure packages I build from source.
Interested to hear what packages you were chasing that are outdated / not present.
You running anything from nix-hardware on your system? I know my laptop has a flake there that installs a few applications & fixes small things like hardware buttons for the ga401: https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware/blob/master/asus/zephyrus/ga401/default.nix
I’m running unstable on both machines, with nix-hardware for my laptop only.
Just don’t run X applications 😅
I’ve seen no issues on my setup, might just be luck of the draw? What hyprland build are you running? What issues are you seeing?
Works fine on my laptop (1650 hybrid) and desktop (3070 no iGPU)
Under NixOS on both machines, no xwayland.
programs.hyprland = {
enable = true;
enableNvidiaPatches = true;
};
Is the basics to get it up and running under NixOS + HomeManager
Yeah since using NIX for a couple of months now I moved away from KDE, you could customize KDE with home-manager however you would be writing out stacks of home.file lines as KDE is all over the shop when it comes to configuration. IIRC there is a module for KDE to help however it looked like a bigger time sink than I wanted.
For example my hyprpaper config is as such:
home.file."dots/config/hypr/hyprpaper.conf" = {
text = ''
preload = ~/nixos/wallpaper/1.jpg
preload = ~/nixos/wallpaper/2.jpg
preload = ~/nixos/wallpaper/3.jpg
preload = ~/nixos/wallpaper/4.jpg
wallpaper = eDP-1, ~/nixos/wallpaper/1.jpg
'';
};
Same can be done for KDE’s config however you’ll run into issues changing settings manually from memory. I’m quite happy with hyprland as there are less moving parts compared to a complete package (gnome / kde), everything that’s installed (probably) has a purpose for my use-case.
That’s why I love Nix, moving my hyprland configuration from my laptop to my desktop was almost seamless. All my keybinds, wallpapers and applications were up and running with a couple of commands.
There are a couple of hardware specific configs for my laptop and desktop but once I split those out it’s smooth sailing.
Being on NIX I’m very jealous of the volumes of documentation for Arch. Found my way to the Arch wiki a few times.
Logi must be sitting on stockpiles of mini USB connectors lol. Was so surprised that they were using them on modern stuff.
Even the superlight uses mini, it’s such a pain having everything else on my desk be type-c and my mouse requires an antiquated standard.
It’s nice to be able to change my keymaps on my keychron keyboard, or configure my kbdfans RGB knob to have different bindings, but I really don’t want to install chrome or a chromium based browser for one weird trick.
I like my OS to be simple, I don’t want multiple browsers or loads of applications to manage different devices.
The G915 uses micro USB from memory.
I’m happy with the logi peripherals that I own, but I don’t use windows or care for most of the extra features they come with.
Love me some proxmox, have two instances at home on some old hardware.
Great starter configurations are located here:

Oh super helpful, been meaning to investigate linux-tkg for my gaming setup. How long was the build time for the kernel on your system?
Turn developer options off.
