NixOS system configuration based on flakes & a simple module-folder structure. The configuration is based on that of mdvmeijer, expect for it’s more simple in nature. This is my first year of using Nix, and my use-case is not very complicated, so ease of use and simplicity are primarily important.

Overview

The configuration is split up in two main directories:

• ./hosts
• ./modules

Many Nix configurations I’ve seen are split up between home-manager and ‘normal’-configuration. I instead like to organise things purely based on functionality. In ./hosts system configuration is defined. This should be specific for each system the Nix configuration is used on (currently just one system). In ./modules system capabilities are defined, mainly user-specific setup and home-manager configured programs / dotfiles. Contained in here is configuration of my most used programs such as:

• Hyprland
• rofi
• EWW
• fish
• kitty

There are also a few currently un-used programs included, these I either used before and have since switched away from, or a work in progress. I keep these in for completeness-sake and I don’t want to bother with excluding them from the .gitignore. For my config, I emphasise using standard dotfiles when convenient, to allow for anyone to copy my configuration, and make it easy to move away from NixOS should I ever want to (although I doubt it).

Work in progress

While my current configuration is quite okay to use right now, there are still some things that are on my list to fix. Right now this is:

• [-] Battery/Power management for laptop. (Configure tlp or auto-cpufreq)
  • [X] tlp configuration
  • [ ] auto-cpufreq usage/configuration
• [X] eww improvements/clean-up
  • [X] Get workspace widget working on eww bar.
  • [X] Clean-up redundant files and folder structure
• [ ] Get a working starship configuration
• [ ] Split up the hyprland module into smaller parts
• [X] Scripts clean-up
  • [X] Move out of eww module
  • [X] add to path
  • [X] Create desktop file for convenient use w/ rofi
  • [X] Create airplane-mode script
  • [X] Create rofi script for tlp management
• [X] Improve hyprland configuration ease-of-use. Maybe utilize scratchpad functionality, update / add keyboard shortcuts
  • [X] Improve multi-monitor workspace configuration
  • [X] Improve laptop monitor behaviour
• [ ] Move home-manager to flake (mdvmeijer)
• [X] Configure Doom Emacs with home-manager
• [ ] Add doom folder to path or make environment variable (mdvmeijer)

Aspirational

Things I would really like to implement:

• [X] Bluetooth control menu
• [ ] Microphone control menu
• [ ] Implement nix variables for color scheme
• [ ] firefox / librewolf configuration w/ Nix
• [X] Bluetooth setup & eww widget
• [X] Zatuhra configuration
• [ ] qutebrowser
• [X] Find & use more terminal applications to replace GUI applications (music-player, file-browser, etc)
• [ ] Configure borg backups
• [X] mullvad script for wofi to switch locations
