I am running Bluefin immutable distro and I would like to test Niri. I found on the net that the cleanest way is to use systemd-sysext and I have managed to install Niri using the community extensions.
Now I would like to install Dank Material Shell, and it has a couple of pre-requisites and I am clueless how I can add them again with systemd-sysext.
I tried to look for additional information, but found very little on the matter. Do any of you have experience with this?
I have no clue but I do have a question. If you want to mess about with window managers and ricing them (I like that as well), wouldn’t a non immutable distro be easier? It is “immutable” but it seems you want to mutate all kinds of stuff.
That’s a great question. I like the concept of more stable OS and I played a bit with NixOS in the past but ultimately decided that it is too much of a hassle to learn Nix to use it and decided to try Bluefin. I am actually overall content as I was able to install the missing packages either in Toolbox/Distrobox or using homebrew.
By the way I have actually found a way, and rebased my OS to another immutable flavor. I know that’s more of a workaround.
