Welcome to my NixOS configuration, you can find the repo here. ✨ Features 🖥️ Multiple Hosts Support: Easy to configure for different hosts. 🪟 Hyprland + Waybar: Highly configurable window compositor on Wayland. 🏠 Home Manager Integration: Manage user-specific configurations with ease. 🐚 Zsh + Starship: Efficient shell setup with lots of aliases. 👻 Ghostty: Fast and feature-rich terminal emulator. ✍️ Neovim: The best editor. 🔑 YubiKey Login: Fast and secure authentication with YubiKeys. 📝 Notes I’ve chosen to tightly integrate Home Manager and NixOS within the same file and directory structure, rather than separating them into different files and folders. This keeps the configuration more cohesive but comes with some important caveats: Home Manager options must always be written inside a: home-manager.users.${user} = { ... }; block within your configuration files. Home Manager attributes cannot be imported at the top level (outside of the home-manager.users.<user> block). For example: { pkgs, user, ... }: { home-manager.users.${user} = { config, ... }: { programs.rofi = { ... theme = let inherit (config.lib.formats.rasi) mkLiteral; in { ... }; }; }; } Here, note that config is only available within the home-manager.users.<user> block—trying to import Home Manager attributes directly at the top level will fail. This design choice reduces duplication and keeps related configurations together, but it requires extra attention to module scoping and to distinguishing between NixOS and Home Manager settings. If you prefer a more typical separated configuration structure (e.g. fully declarative Home Manager setup using home.nix per host), check out Andrey0189’s NixOS Config Reborn, which this repository was briefly based on before the latest refactor. 🚀 Installation To get started with this setup, follow these steps: ...
I created this website to have a single place to document all my projects and share them. It will also serve as a kind of portfolio that shows what things I have worked on and learned. This Website This website was build with Hugo which is a open-source static site generator, Hugo allows you to generate posts like this one from markdown files. I use the PaperMod theme for my site, it is a clean and simple theme with many useful features. I have made one simple modification to the theme which is to add a last modified date like described by Jackson Lucky. The date will only appear if the post has been modified since it was posted and it will automatically update using the files Git history to know when the post was last modified. ...
This post aims to explain how to build and try packages from nixpkgs pull requests. You might for example want to try a new package that has not been merged yet or try some bug fixes. There are multiple ways of doing this, below are two different methods. In both cases we first need to clone nixpkgs and navigate into this directory git clone [email protected]:NixOS/nixpkgs.git cd nixpkgs nix-build This approach is better if you want to install and use the package for a while. ...

My many attempts at creating a more optimal keyboard layout for my self. So far all of the layouts have been used on a normal TKL keyboard, but with the latest layouts the goal has been to create a layout that would work on a Charybdis by Bastard Keyboards. See the cover picture for how the keys have been moved around to make the latest layout work on a normal keyboard. ...
