Systemd-sysext Help Needed (lemmy.world)

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?

All the supported IDEs in bluefin are brew packages and tailscale is included.

No idea on the selinux stuff though.

My thesis is essentially that we’re creating too many package package managers with too many compromises.

Your issues appear to be config/documentation related. What apps am I missing out on by not using system package managers?

package managers, you can do essentially anything.

Yeah, like break your computer, no thanks. :)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
