Nixus

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:

  • nixpkgs as the only input, 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

But why?

Idk, but I like it, probably IKEA effect. Also my config probably moggs yours in terms of evaluation times. Clean install in under 10 minutes.

Contents

  • NixOS hosts - currently only my twinkpad x1
  • 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.

Flake-parts

Actually I have nothing against using flake-parts, although I don't see the use case in my NixOS configuration since I only use one cpu architecture.

Trust me, I tried. It never compiles on ARM anyway

Impermanence

I found it needlessly overcomplicated and unreliable.

Nix-colors

It's just a glorified attribute set
