My NixOS Configuration

My modular NixOS configuration with Home Manager integration.

Structure

| nix /
|-flake.nix (Where everything starts)
|-assets/ (profile pic, sddm background, etc)
|-hosts/ (Configs for my machines: desktop, laptop)
|-modules/ (Pieces I want to be able to switch in and out)
|--system/ (System level configs like bootloader, GPU drivers)
|--home/ (Most of the juice is here. Managed by home manager. Program configs and such)

Base setup

OS: NixOS

Display Manager: SDDM with the Chili Theme and a custom wallpaper to match my theme.

Window Manager: HyprLand

Desktop Environment

Since HyprLand is just a window manager, I had to choose everything else you expect a computer to have. I went with a lot of the KDE tools since they played a lot nicer with stylix for theming as well as just respecting the XDG environment variables.

• File Manager: Thunar
• Image Viewer: GwenView
• Generic Text Editor: Kate
• Video Player: MPV
• PDF Viewer: Okular
• Audio Player: Elisa
• Archive/Zip Manager: Ark
• App Launcher: WayCast (My own launcher)

Ecosystem

• HyprPanel: The nice top bar you see in the screenshot
• Hyprpaper: Just sets my wallpapers

System Packages

• Cachix: Binary caches for faster builds
• Stylix: One of the best things to ever happen to nix. Theme everything consistenly with one config

Terminal Tools

• Zsh: Funally made the switch after more than a decade of using bash
• bat: Better cat
• yazi
• starship: Cool and customizable terminal prompt
• ripgrep

Dev tools

• VsCode
• Datagrip

Theming

• Consistent Gruvbox color scheme across all applications thanks to stylix

Extra Features

• Solaar to manage my logitech mouse.
