Comment on Persistent packages on Steam Deck using Nix
rikudou@lemmings.world 1 month agoThe move is intentional, the configuration file I included makes Home Manager manage .bashrc and .bash_profile, the original files are moved for backup.
Ping wouldn’t help that much, there’s around ~30 devices on my network. And it’s very much possible my PC blocks ICMP. And in addition, nmap includes the manufacturer in the output which is what I wanted to base my guess on.

I am pretty sure your PC doesn’t block ICMP requests and you can get the MAC address of the IP address using the
arpcommand and then check the first three octets against the MAC vendors database.This is all possible in Bash but the script will be slightly more complicated and will involve three different tools, ping, arp, curl.
But I am sure you know how to check your PC IP address anyway.
