Nix OS is so much pain
Use Ansible or something else
I want to install fooFlorp2!
check nixpackages:
"
environment.systemPackages = [
pkgs.fooFlorp2
];
or nix-shell -p fooFlorp2 "
edit configuration.nix, add pkgs.fooFlorp2
install happens, won't work, no mention about the binary
Web search
ohh you don't install it with pkgs, there's a systemd that has to be enabled, and some config wrapped around it.
But the documentation said...
The documentation doesn't lie, but it often doesn't give you the whole answer either.
I love nix, but installing anything interesting ends up with a lot of websearches.
On the upside, my home/work and travel pc's are all just lockstep. anything I install on one just ends up on the others, and that's something cool.

Oh I actually need a recommendation... I have a tiny 7 inch LCD monitor. If I hook it up to my iPad the colors are fine but when I run it from the mini Linux computer I have the colors are all washed out and have weird dithering.
I know it's a driver issue and I haven't been able to find one that works. I also tried different distros. I tried mint, ubuntu and I think one other one that I can't remember. All had the same issue.
Do any of you have ideas? How can I fix it
Ubuntu was so good. Too bad my brother simply shut off my VM when I was using it
Hint: :q!
