Dotfiles Repository

This repository contains my personal dotfiles for my Linux setup. Configurations are managed using GNU Stow and user-facing packages are managed declaratively with Nix + home-manager.

Fresh Machine Setup

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone <repo-url> ~/Dotfiles

2. Run the bootstrap script (installs system packages, Nix, and home-manager):

   cd ~/Dotfiles && bash dependencies.sh

3. Symlink dotfiles with stow:

   stow nvim tmux zsh rofi i3 lazygit nix

Yazi plugins

Plugins are declared in yazi/.config/yazi/package.toml (version-pinned) and the source is not checked in. dependencies.sh runs ya pkg install automatically on a fresh setup, but if you add a plugin later, install it with:

ya pkg install          # fetch any plugin listed in package.toml
ya pkg upgrade          # update pinned revisions

Package Management

User-facing packages are declared in flake.nix and managed by home-manager under a single schrodlm configuration.

home-manager switch --flake ~/Dotfiles#schrodlm

Add a package

Add it to home.packages in flake.nix, then switch.

Update all packages

nix flake update ~/Dotfiles && home-manager switch --flake ~/Dotfiles#schrodlm

Electron apps (VS Code, Obsidian)

These are deliberately not installed via Nix. Nix-packaged Electron apps expect /run/opengl-driver/ (NixOS-only) and fail to load GL on Debian with MESA-LOADER errors. dependencies.sh installs:

• VS Code via apt (Microsoft's repo)
• Obsidian via Flatpak (md.obsidian.Obsidian from Flathub, user scope)

Maintenance

• Nix garbage collection - Nix keeps old package versions in /nix/store. Clean up periodically:

  nix-collect-garbage -d
