C-Macs – a pure C macOS application
brew install --cask xquartz
Or install from the project homepage [1]. Then just launch the X11 app. Note that it does require the application to be built for Mac - it’s not an emulator, just an implementation of the X11 APIs.

Understanding Keyboard Events Better
I’ve recently spent some time working with terminal emulators in raw mode on macOS. While I chose to handle key events using escape codes, and found it seriously difficult (even gave up) to process the shift modifier key. However, I came across xquartz [1], which seems to do similar things as mentioned in the article. Would detecting shift key state have been trivial using such a library?

Audacity 3.4 – New Musical Features
The contents are rendered through gtk/cairo which not only goes through https://www.xquartz.org/ but also doesn't use GPU rendering (it was experimental 3 years ago, maybe better now). The main issue seems to be that neither Inkscape nor gtk people have much low level Darwin experts or time available to invest in debugging the whole rendering stack. See for example https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/1614 and all the other referenced issues for all the gory details.

ksh88 string substitution in alias | mpv streaming
I live in a mezzanine studio using a M1 macbook for a workstation (writing/editing) and my old laptop with openbsd as a local server. I play music from that obsd server upstairs, which thus fills the whole room down to my desktop through the plugged-in speakers. My hosted library plays fine with mpd and ncmpcpp, and I just figured out it's not so difficult to use mpv to play streamed youtube videos, since firefox in XQuartz streaming from xenocara is way too slow anyhow.

Back to Emacs - I have some questions
There is an alternative: I ended up using Xquartz to give me an X11 environment and then running StumpWM as my tiling window manager. I used this for all my productive stuff, running full screen in MacOS, then a quick keypress got me back to the Mac environment.
- Red Hat considers Xorg “deprecated” and will remove it in the next RHEL

Which mac should I get for study?
I also used Xquartz. Emacs was better for me though because capturing text output and documenting what I captured was so much easier than X-window.

Does Wine work on mac at all?

- how to ssh from linux or windows to mac os with x11?

Do most people just run zsh, or is it common to switch to bash?
I used a Mac for router software testing for over 20 years. I ran a shell on my mac either through Emacs (on occasion) or X-quartz with terminal connections to a dozen or more routers, linux and or Windows systems. In all that time, I opened the terminal on my mac maybe 5 times.

Cosmic Desktop: Hammering Out New Cosmic Features
It's probably overkill for what you are trying to do. But I have been using home-manager [0] as a way to quickly restore my working environment.

How do I actually update home-manager?
$ home-manager --version 23.05 $ nix-channel --add https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/archive/release-23.11.tar.gz home-manager $ nix-channel --update $ nix-shell '' -A install [...] All done!

Possible to use KDE plugins on nixos?
Unfortunately until we find more volunteers in this area, it is hard to see status quo changing. See also https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/issues/607 and this ongoing project https://github.com/pjones/plasma-manager

An Overview of Nix in Practice
> Channels are, AFAIU, a reference to some point-in-time/commit/version of nixpkgs
It's not specifically nixpkgs, but any Nix code generally.
Per the Nix manual[0]:
> Channels are a mechanism for referencing remote Nix expressions and conveniently retrieving their latest version.
e.g. home-manager's suggested channel is just the github tarball for the relevant branch[1]:
nix-channel --add https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/archive/master.tar.gz home-manager

Need help on home manager neovim config
I'm using flakes and home manager and not really sure how to go about managing my neovim configuration. I've read through some other posts, github issues, and various articles trying to suss out a good way to do this. Reading through other people's configs and posts was somewhat helpful but there is a lot going on I don't understand and everyone's examples I've seen vary wildly.

I want to like NixOS but... I can't and I need some help
I can't answer all your questions, but home-manager does have a dconf module that would probably be better to use than that external tool. Everything inside the options block are the things you can pass to the dconf module.
What are some alternatives?
