In 2013, someone requested a guided/graphical installer for #NixOS for the first time. There have been at least 6 attempts so far that all failed. Now, 9 years later, we have finally merged an implementation based on the #Calamares framework. It will be part of the stable release at the end of this month and is already available in unstable.

Next up is hardware video decoding using VA-API on Wayland in #Firefox. The RDD sandbox in Firefox restricts which paths the process can access and since we don't adhere to the FHS our paths are currently missing.
Now: We patch these in downstream
