I've been trying to set up a Samba share on my desktop, which I've done successfully many times on other distros, but for whatever reason, the NixOS version of Samba sets "security = USER" by default. Since it's on my own network and I have no ports exposed to the internet, I'd prefer to not have to bother with a password if I can.

I have things like "map to guest = Bad User" and "guest ok = yes" set. In fact, I ran testparm on my server, which I can access without a password, and my desktop, and the only difference was "security = user", a setting that stopped login as root (I'm at work at the moment so I can't check exactly what it was), and a link to the file where passwords are stored.

I disabled the firewall and tried putting "security" = "" in my configuration.nix, which stops "security = user" showing up in testparm. When I do this, I can access smb://$DESKTOP, and it shows the folder I want shared, but when I click it, it says it doesn't exist. I have double checked that the path to the drive I want to share is correct.

Has anybody encountered this? Did you manage to fix or bypass it? Thanks in advance.

I have a 144Hz ultrawide monitor, and recently I bought another little monitor for music/Discord. However, even though I'm running it on Wayland, If I try to change the framerate of the big monitor in KDE settings, it spits out an error (something about the framerate not being compatible with the driver - unfortunately I can't check it anymore) and doesn't change it. This is on Arch running the latest plasma-meta, and an AMD GPU.

I've tried looking for a solution to this problem, but practically all of them just say "use Wayland", which I already am. I found a Debian Bookworm USB I had lying around and thought I'd see if the issue persisted. It turns out that it doesn't - It works perfectly.

Does anybody have any ideas as to why this doesn't work on a newer version of Plasma?

I'm not necessarily against switching to Debian to get this working, it's just that Arch is what I'm used to.

It's still only showing 18 League titles. So it'll also be missing an FA Cup and a League Cup, too.
