I think it’s about time I improved a bit on my Nix and NixOS knowledge, and I guess the best way is having someone more experienced critique my monstrosity of a setup.

Maybe it’s too modular? Not modular enough? Convoluted? Complete garbage altogether?

Go to the repo and find out! Just be sure to let me know after.

    It’s a bit LMAO-worthy, yes. I have it mostly out fear some sofware might break on Hyprland at a bad time, and because I’m too lazy to look for some basic utilities separately.

      No I am in the same camp. I hate complexity. There’s too many crumbs of utilities to reassemble into the entire loaf of functionality. Hence I haven’t tried installing arch in a long while (I use endeavorOS as my daily) and I haven’t tried running nix. The need has not arisen yet.

        You’re missing out man, I’ve been daily driving NixOS for almost two years now and I can’t go back. It’s not that complex to set up and it’s great knowing most of what’s on your system at a glance by looking at a config file.

          The learning curve is high when you’re starting out so expect to scratch your head in your first week. Once it clicks in, it’ll be smooth sailing after.

          I was waiting for the itch to get worse so i can scratch it off… but you have convinced me enough to give it a go. Here’s hoping i don’t create an abomination!
