Its even worse when you force Firefox to use wayland its icon doesn’t even show.

Edit: Oh since everyone now is confused; I only have the flatpak version of Firefox installed yet it doesn’t use the pinned icon and doesn’t even use the firefox icon under wayland at all.

    @lambda a lot of people do nix-env -ia nameOfPackage. I would recommend doing it properly with a file, and you just direct that command to the file (I would probably setup an alias). It gives you that declarative nature that nix is known for.

      I’ll try that for sure. I need to lookup if nix packages work on Steam Deck…

        @lambda they should if you use the single user command. The command that does it for the whole system requires root access, something you don’t have on the deck.

          You can get root very easily. But, updates wipe out all but your home directory. So, I think you’d do the single user that you are referencing for that reason.

            @lambda

            Oh I didn’t know, I just remembered reading that it utilizes an immutable filesystem and thought that it also doesn’t give root access as well. That’s good to hear though.

              Yeah, it’s immutable until you run the command steamos-readonly disable IIRC.
