My minimal NixOS configuration

• Window Manager: Hyprland
• Shell: bash
• Terminal: Kitty
• Panel: Waybar
• Notification Daemon: Dunst
• Launcher: Wofi
• File Manager: Thunar

I am new to NixOS and this is my first attempt at creating a nice and minimal configuration. Prior to this I only used ubuntu without much of a configuration.

The intention of this repository is to have a backup of my configuration and show how I set up my system. I am not an expert in NixOS and I am sure there are better ways to do things. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.

Usage

I can't provide a full on explanation on how to use this configuration from scratch. That is soon to come though.

Basically the files in the nixos directory are the ones that go into /etc/nixos/. The rest of the files go in .config/home-manager.

Create a personal.nix file that looks like this:

{
  username = "<username>";
  gitusername = "<gitusername>";
  gitemail = "<gitemail>";
}

When applying system wide changes to my configuration.nix I run:

sudo nixos-rebuild switch

When applying changes to my user configuration I run:

home-manager switch
