Don’t be like me and spend an embarrassing amount of time trying to figure out how to run a #runit service as a user. I guess #kanatakbd uses `cmd` to run another program (`wtype`), but permissions still interfere… 🤷 at this point I gave up.
What you *should* do is to create a user-level service: https://docs.voidlinux.org/config/services/user-services.html Then it’s simple: make a dir, put a `run` in it (`log/run` optional), and you’re done. Is it a service or a #nushell script? Both! Runit is great!

Copying the plugin folders manually worked. Not many of them will be useful, but I tested SteamGridDB and ProtonDB Badges.
I also tried installing a previous version of #DeckyLoader to see if it would update, but it broke. So I’ll leave it for now. I’m thinking of writing a script for automatic installation, #runit and all, which shouldn’t be hard. However, doing everything by hand is also not that difficult. As usual, feel free to ask.

I take it back about #syncthing https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/tree/main/etc/linux-runit Mostly: it should be simply `export SYNCTHING="/usr/bin/syncthing`.
Decided to use my old #SteamController, which made it easy. The #VoidLinux `steam-udev-rules` package is useful for this. Or does it work without it? Shrug.
I made #DeckyLoader work with #runit, but it’s store is currently unavailable (just for me?) so I can’t test it. I also don’t know how it is updated.
So, now Haiku. Still JK.

Hey, look who’s back!
First, #VoidLinux updated without a hitch, despite being dormant for almost a year (really?! Wow!). But I didn’t – I’d completely forgotten my sway and foot shortcuts, so I installed #KDEPlasma instead (`kde-plasma` and `kde-baseapps`). It’s graphical, I know it, I like it. Then I installed `pulseaudio` to fix the sound. Enabled SDDM. And #WezTerm, why not.

I fell into another hole. You see, there is no #OhMyPosh in #VoidLinux, only #StarshipPrompt. So I thought about it… And now I have styled my prompt in #Nushell itself, no other stuff necessary.
It doesn’t do anything fancy, just picks colors based on hostname and also shows status of a git directory. So 100% the same as my Oh My Posh config.
