funny nixos configs

So, what is everything?

  • Millwright - alyx's Coffee Lake Rig
  • Nomad - alyx's ThinkPad L13 Gen 2 (AMD)
  • Jupiter - alyx's MacPro5,1
  • Firefly - Dell XPS M1330 (not added yet. Has not arrived yet.

But, why?

There was a couple motivators that moved me personally to nix, here are a couple

  • Firstly, NVIDIA. I was fed up of having to go through the effort to fix nvidia every time i reinstalled my OS
  • Secondly, talk of reinstalling... I reinstall my OS often and installing drivers, etc got boring fast.
  • Furthermore, the configuration is genuinely quicker to do in nixos because its just a programming language essentially
  • Lastly, I know how to set up qemu-kvm w/ gpu passthrough in nixos, can't say that about most other distros (not as big a thing as it used to be, for now i run my OS in a PVE container)

Thats all well and good, what is in this config?

  • homes - this is home manager setup. This is split by host and has a common folder that all the per host comfigs use. This is done for splitting stuff like sway configs
  • hosts - again, split by host, this is the configuration.nix's of each system
  • wallpapers - just wallpapers so that they can be pulled in with a git clone
  • README - the document you're reading right now! :p
  • flake.lock - this locks our config to a certain point in time (and is updated by running nix flake update - very helpful for keeping a system as is
  • flake.nix - this is the main flake file! basically everything branches off this

Can I do anything?

Yes! contributions are very warmly welcomed! Noticed something that can be done better? make a pull request!

Should I use nixos

No. God no. While I kid, the documentation is a bit lacklustre so do go in with an open mind!

Who to thank for this hellscape

  • notashelf - otherwise known as raf - got me into nixos in the first place - is also the person i stole the really nice ags conf from
  • floppydisk - shamelessly stole stuff from his config on more than one occasion
  • multiple others I forget
  • aegiscarr - halftone-purple.png @ images + pfp2 @ images
  • catppuccin - gtk theme hyprlock config
  • This repo - for some of the wallpapers @ images

Thanks for taking the time to read this dumpster fire!
