What is something you want to use, yet are NOT using?

gramgan@lemmy.ml to Linux@lemmy.ml – 144 points –

For me, I really want to get into niri, but the lack of XWayland support scares me (I know there’s solutions, but I don’t understand them yet).

Also, I stopped using Emacs (even though I love its design and philosophy with my whole heart) because it’s very slow, even as a daemon.

Common Lisp. It would take a long while before I'm comfortable working on a project using that language. There's also Lem editor but setting it up is a pain on NixOS.

That’s my first time hearing of Lem—it looks fantastic. What’s the issue with it on NixOS?

  • There is no lem package on NixOS.
  • Common lisp related packages tend to be outdated
  • NixOS violates FHS to allow each packages to build against specific versions of dependencies, so CL tools might not work as expected.
