Readme
Welcome
This repository contains all of my dotfiles to the many programs I like to use on Linux. This is primarily built with NixOS and Emacs. This is done through literate programming. So basically this README file has all the source code for the entire system. (or at least it will once I get it all finished)
NixOS
The biggest part of this is through NixOS. NixOS is a declarative way of building an OS for Linux and allows an immutable and reproducible system. I really like that last part. I enjoy my config to be the same no matter how many machines I place it on. I'd also one day like this to be modular so that I'll have some switches that can turn on and off certain features.
Let's start with the core of this, the flake.
flake.nix
This is not a wholly complex setup with flakes. I've seen far more complex and unique ones. But the basic idea is to have a few of our inputs setup to bring in the expected pkgs and then output things to the correct system/user.
Note how in the outputs I do have some duplicated code. That is will disappear as I grow more accustomed to flakes and nix. Anyhow, the important things to gather in this file are that I'm making sure to use non-free software by making pkgs config = { allowUnfree = true; }. This ensures that things like the non-free linux kernel are accessible.
Also, syl is my laptop and kaladin is my desktop. So those are going to be unique in the future.
Both include the home-manager module. Primarily I chose that route so that I could use the same command to update the entire system without needing to update the system and user stuff seperately.

inputs = {
nixpkgs.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
home-manager.url = "github:nix-community/home-manager/master";
home-manager.inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
};
outputs = { nixpkgs, home-manager, ... }:
let
system = "x86_64-linux";
username = "chris";
pkgs = import nixpkgs {
inherit system;
config = { allowUnfree = true; };
};
lib = nixpkgs.lib;

syl = lib.nixosSystem {

home-manager.useGlobalPkgs = true;
home-manager.useUserPackages = true;

}
];
};
};
};
}Syl
Syl is my laptop and has some configuration unique to that. In particular, it's a Framework Laptop. Honestly a great piece of tech. Love it.
Notice how I am including all of my software here. It may be a big file, but having all of it in one place means I can easily grok through it and remove something.

Now in the hardware-configuration.nix file, I didn't change much because I wanted to keep it roughly the same in case things do get overwritten, but this is another nice feature of literate programming, should things change in the /etc folder, I'll have this readme as a backup of what it was before the changes.
