Comments by "Gilad Barlev" (@GSBarlev) on "The "Problem" With Distros Shipping Hyprland" video.

  1. This is what made Debian a nonstarter for me for a decade. But nowadays with flatpak, Nix and distrobox, you really can have a host system that is rock stable while running the latest & greatest on top. That said, Hyprland >0.32 installed via Nix on top of SteamOS isn't working on my system, seemingly due to mismatches between the compiled and present versions of MESA, so take my comment with a grain of salt.

  2. At the same time, I think this explains why Hyprland >0.32 is broken for me on SteamOS-through-Nix—because while you can install multiple versions of wlroots, if you don't put them in different profiles, it will just use whatever package has the highest priority. Now that I know how to do rollbacks (Nix is bae in this department), I'll have to give this another go.
