nixed

I've spent too much time on this.

I spend too much time making this config. It has been nixed, sent to the void. There is no getting back the hours of debugging the abject horrors of error: infinite recursion, at undefined position.

Regardless of the amount of time I spend working on this, there is one thing that is true: this is yet another repository that contains Nix configuration files structured in yet another way. Is it good? Maybe; that's up to your discretion. If you think it's not, it can always be improved! Send me a message or open an issue, and I'd love to talk about it.

Packages/Modules

I have a few custom packages and modules, some of which I do want to contribute upstream to nixpkgs and home-manager in the future. However, I'm keeping them around in here to make sure they can work reliably before doing so. If you want to use them, feel free! Here's a rundown of what they are:

Packages

Name	Description
airtame	Screen streaming application
nsmb-mvl	Mario vs. Luigi game rewrite from the DS
rescrobbled	MPRIS music scrobbler daemon

* - Probably don't use this package, this is tailored for my own config.

home-manager Modules

Name	Description
berry	Berry WM configuration
darwin-wallpaper	Configure wallpaper on macOS
hikari	Hikari Wayland compositor configuration
leftwm	LeftWM configuration
vivid	Vivid LS_COLORS generator configuration
wob	Wayland overlay bar configuration/service

To use these modules, you can use the provided homeModules attribute.

To see possible options, check their definitions out in home/modules.

Roster

I name all of my machines after my favorite players from the Oakland Raiders*. It's a time-honored thing for me; I've always done that with my personal machines. Let's see the lineup!

* To all the people going "um, akshually, it's Las Vegas!", I don't want to hear it! The Autumn Wind is a Raider no matter the location ;}

• Type: Home workstation
• Operating system: NixOS
• Specs:
  • AMD Ryzen 9 3950X (16 cores, 3.8 GHz OC)
  • G.SKILL Trident RGB (64 GB DDR4-3600)
  • AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT
  • Sabrent Rocket 4.0 (1 TB)

My daily driver workstation; it's served me well throughout the years, and doesn't take too much power, even when overclocked. What a legend.

SebastianJanikowski

• Type: Personal laptop
• Operating system: NixOS
• Model: Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5

My primary laptop; I take it everywhere, it's very mobile and can kick many workloads quite far (a lot like its namesake!).

TimBrown

• Type: Work laptop
• Operating system: macOS (with nix-darwin)
• Model: MacBook M3 Pro 2023 (18 GB)

A legit MacBook that is a beast on the run. Used for music production on-the-go with Logic Pro X and mobile app development.

More to come in the future, such as Bo Jackson. Stay tuned!

Thanks

• digga :: for making my initial Nix journey possible, and also for some convenience functions and opinions on structure.
• flake-parts :: for being the current backbone of my entire configuration.
• montchr/dotfield :: for showing me what a super practical configuration can look like. Mine is nowhere near as complex as his, but you'll see a lot of similarities and (maybe) blatant ripoffs.
• viperML/dotfiles :: for giving me some insight on how flake-parts works.
• fufexan/dotfiles :: for some naming ideas and how to properly export a lib attribute.
• NobbZ/nixos-config :: for a great way to auto-update my flake using GitHub Actions
