About

This is my personal NixOS configuration. It provides a multi-host, multi-user framework built around metadata-driven system and user modules. It tracks NixOS unstable and does not use Home Manager. The repository currently contains specific configuration for the zen host and aetheris user.

The configuration includes:

• Hyprland with a Lua-based configuration
• Quickshell wallpaper, status bar, popups, notifications, screen picker, and application launcher
• Fish, Ghostty, Neovim, MPV, Zen Browser, Zathura, and other user tools
• Local YAML color schemes shared across supported applications
• Disko disk configuration and impermanence
• NVIDIA PRIME offload alongside the AMD integrated GPU

Common commands

Rebuild and activate the current host:

nix run .#rebuild

Build the configuration for the next boot without switching immediately:

nix run .#rebuild -- boot

Switch the active color scheme:

nix run .#theme -- everforest

Format the Nix files:

nix fmt

Installation

From NixOS installation media:

nix run .#install

The installer asks for a host and maps its Disko disks to physical devices. It displays the selected devices and asks for confirmation before formatting them.
