Nix Config

This is my personalized configuration for nix and nixos systems. This is incredibly customized and subject to force pushes and general chaos and should only be forked or used as a reference.

Workflow

This is primarily a NixOS config but is mostly portable to non-NixOS machines via nix + home-manager. This is a developers machine but is also general purpose and used for everyday tasks. It can play games with Steam or Lutris and edit audio projects with Ardour.

Development is done in neovim + tmux. The neovim configuration lives in it's own repository and is complete with LSP, syntax highlighting, debugging and more.

Usage

Installing

• Use nix develop to create a bootstrap shell.
• Run sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#hostname to apply your system configuration.
  • If you're still on a live installation medium, run nixos-install --flake .#hostname instead, and reboot.
• Run home-manager switch --flake .#username@hostname to apply your home configuration.

Starting Desktop Environments

This config does not use a login-manager and instead uses wrapper scripts to launch a DE/WM with it's configurations directly from a tty. There are multiple desktop environments/window managers. The scripts are built and placed on PATH automatically by nix.
