About

This repo contains my reorganized and rewritten NixOS configuration. It might not be widely considered correct or whatever, because I used some of my braincells to come up with this autistic design philosophy:

• as little inputs as possible, just straight up rawdogging nix
• wrap binaries instead of putting files in home dir
• do not copy from others
• try to avoid with keyword as much as possible

Contents

• NixOS hosts - my twinkpad x1 and macbook air m1 (running asahi kernel)
• NixOS modules - including $HOME management, impermanence and some laptop specific things
• Dev shell - shell containing my entire terminal workflow, with fully configured neovim and stuff.
• Packages - Mostly unmodified packages from nixpkgs, wrapped with my configs, themed via base16 attribute set
• Theme - which outputs my current base16 theme as an attrset

Why I don't use some of the popular NixOS modules?

Home-manager

I don't like it. I prefer to wrap my binaries. Much better solution.

Everyone in nix community will tell you that hm is a mess.

I also use my own module homix for stuff I couldnt't wrap with symlinkJoin, like gtk

Flake-parts

I was able to fully replace it with a single lambda

Impermanence

I found it needlessly overcomplicated and unreliable.

Nix-colors

It's just a glorified attribute set
