I'm glad you enjoyed! If I need to fix any info or clarify anything just lemme know!

Thanks, been using nix for little while but was always afraid of gaming.

[@alphaobeisance3594]

No problem!

Haha no telling how many times I’ve done the eff it’s just faster to reinstall trick

I've lost count 🤣

Hey there! Just switched over to NixOS just today and working on getting it all set up. Coming along pretty well, but I seem to be having some trouble with my Nvidia drivers in Krita. Noticed you have the program in your install list, so I'm curious - are you having any trouble with flickering with hardware acceleration turned on in Krita? And, even better, do you have any idea why mine is doing this or how to fix it? This is really my main problem right now. The whole UI flickers black, and overlay elements like the brush picker when right-clicking seem to zfight back *behind* the canvas. Seems like some kind of buffer problem, then, right?

[@alphaobeisance3594]

I would first try disabling hardware acceleration in krita by going to Settings -> Configure Krita -> Display -> uncheck Enable OpenGL or at least tinker with the OpenGL settings. Wish I had better advice atm but my kids are all over the place this AM lol

@@alphaobeisance3594 It *does* work to solve the flickering. Unfortunately, I'm quite picky about the experience of panning/rotating and it's awful without hardware acceleration (my processor is terrible, to be fair). I'm sure I'll figure something out with enough tinkering! Thanks for the tip, and if you think of anything else that might help, let me know. :)

[@alphaobeisance3594]

@@MrAwesomeTheAwesome I can totally relate to that, I'd be lost on the Wacom if not for panning and rotation! Lemme know if you get it fingered out!

@@alphaobeisance3594 So you'll probably find this funny like I did. I've read every horrible thing about Wayland and Nvidia compatibility, but switching off from x11 to Wayland removed almost all the flickering. Now occasionally there's a little blip - mildly annoying and definitely worse than it was on my Windows install. But, it works, and is fairly performant! Seems like Wayland support is catching up rapidly on Nvidia (probably because of Steam and Proton, as I understand it?) So I'm hoping it'll get even better in the coming months.

@@MrAwesomeTheAwesome I should have thought of that out the gate tbh lol. I use x11 religiously because of nvidia. I don't even consider Wayland it goes so unused lol! Glad you got it mostly worked out!
