nixos-config VS TLP

Here’s Mitchell Hashimoto (founder of HashiCorp) setup config.

https://github.com/mitchellh/nixos-config

In my case, I started by installing the NixOS using the Gnome Installer on VmWare fusion, and then modified it using the example config from mitchellh as a guide. Actually entering the configuration yourself definitely helps with learning.

I have a NixOS dev environment in a VM which I built based on https://github.com/mitchellh/nixos-config. Similar to that setup, I use Flakes for my main configuration, and use home-manager to install + configure dev tools that I want available across multiple projects

Yes, maybe not as easily. Check my setup https://github.com/kohlerm/nixos-config which I forked from https://github.com/mitchellh/nixos-config a while ago

Hi, if u can not get a linux pc - then have a look on the following thing (nixos). https://github.com/mitchellh/nixos-config

I'm developing mostly using console applications like vim so I don't need GUI apps for what I'm doing and this made me wonder if it's not better to simply spin a Linux VM inside my macOS to do my development. Something like this: https://github.com/mitchellh/nixos-config (this guy is one of the founders of Hashicorp)

One of the most popular NixOS configs on GitHub does this https://github.com/mitchellh/nixos-config

The README describes the experience, though the author takes the approach of using the VM mainly for terminal-based stuff.

This post focused solely on the Nix package manager and Nix packages - for anyone that uses MacOS but is interesting in trying NixOS (or using it within a VM in MacOS), I definitely recommend Mitchell Hashimoto's NixOS repo: https://github.com/mitchellh/nixos-config

Honestly, doing that may be easier and a better option than using Nix packages in MacOS.

Usually full charge give me about ~5 hours, after install tlp here https://linrunner.de/tlp

They definately do conflict, it was discussed back when ppd first arrived: https://github.com/linrunner/TLP/issues/564

If you're certain your GPU has deeper power saving states than P8, I would start by checking why it's not using them. Maybe tlp, powertop or nvtop (or their documentation) can help.

I use TLP for my personal laptop https://linrunner.de/tlp/

if you don't already have it installed, you could try tlp: https://linrunner.de/tlp/

Install TLP

Maybe will be helpfull https://github.com/linrunner/TLP/issues/596
