This is mainly a note for myself right now to quickly list programs that I have checked to see if they are in nixpkgs and found that they are not packaged.
If anyone else wants to add to this list feel free (since the Package Request template has been removed from Github’s Issue tracker).
If you want to add to this list, then just add one comment and then come back whenever and edit your existing comment with new package ideas (or remove ones that are added).
idk if you guys care about stuff like this i have a huge list and way more stuff i wanna contribute but im lazy (actually adhd) so i shall post only what i rember atm or have in my history (a lot)… sry it could be silly (or USELESS! to some…), i also may or may not update this later:
luxtorpeda - steam play compatibility tool to run games using native linux engines (you can only get it via protonup-qt or lutris atm, cos chaotic-cx is kill; similarly, see how proton-ge-bin is packaged)
newbspguy - GUI .bsp editor for goldsrc engine games
My #1 thing by a good margin is WINE for ARM Linux (issue). Recent versions of WINE integrate with FEX to allow running x86-Windows apps fairly reliably on aarch64-linux systems. They use thunking to native WoA libraries so the performance is quite good (to the point where people have run AAA games in this way), and NT’s 64K-aligned page allocation circumvents the problems with running x86 WINE within FEX on large-pagesize ARM systems (so a microvm is no longer necessary).
I looked into packaging this, but the current WINE packaging exceeds my Nix abilities to the point where I couldn’t even figure out how to get a dev shell for WINE on an aarch64-linux machine.
I have rewriting the Wine packages on my list of things to do for 26.05, but I have Swift and some Darwin stuff to do before that. Having ARM64 Wine working on Darwin will be important for me once we drop Intel support on Darwin next year.
