Nix Setup

NixOS flake config with Home Manager standalone.

I use Colemak-DH-ISO keyboard layout by default, modify in keyboard.nix and niri.kdl

Install

Warning

Do not use this flake if you don't know how to use NixOS. You will end up with a broken generation because of the hardware specific files.

Important

NixOS installs usually require copying /etc/nixos/hardware-configuration.nix to the profile directory or you won't be able to boot. You should also check that the per host filesystem.nix works on your machine.

NixOS Configuration:

# Clone this repo using nix-shell:
nix-shell -p git neovim --command "git clone https://github.com/jaycem-dev/nix ~/Projects/nix && cd ~/Projects/nix; return"

# Update config if necessary then rebuild:
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#profile

Home Manager:

# First install (home-manager not yet installed):
nix run home-manager -- switch --flake .#profile

# Subsequent updates:
home-manager switch --flake .#profile

Replace #profile with one of the profiles below (defined in flake.nix). Profile names are shared between NixOS and Home Manager:

• #desktop
• #asahi (ARM64, --impure flag only needed for nixos-rebuild)

Software

• Compositor and tools: Niri, Waybar, Fuzzel, Hypridle, Wpaperd, Swaylock
