This repository contains my personal NixOS configuration, featuring Hyprland as the window manager. It’s designed for daily use on my laptop and is a continuous work in progress. Whether you’re looking for inspiration or a starting point for your own setup, you’ll find modular, well-organized configs here.
Take a look at my desktop environment:
⚠️ Before you begin:
- Backup your existing
hardware-configuration.nix.- Review the configs for any programs or environment variables that may not be supported by your hardware.
Clone this repository and create a symbolic link from the nixos folder to /etc/nixos:
sudo ln -s /<path-to-this-repo>/nixos /etc/nixosApply the configuration:
sudo nixos-rebuild switch- Change your hostname in
configuration.nix. - Change your username in
flake.nix.
