Some history about my dotfiles

My first ever dotfiles repo was just named… Dotfiles. It was pretty bare bones.

Then I created superior dotfiles. I used it with chezmoi. It was pretty good, but then I decided to try something else…

As of today I'm using this repo with home manager. I'm still trying stuff out, but it looks pretty good right now.

How to use this?

You need to have home manager installed. Install needs to be standalone. It may not work as NixOS module.

Settings

You need to edit flake.nix to match your preferences.

• If you want to use git, login with gh auth login, generate ssh key and put the pub key in the flake.
• You also need to set your git credentials there
• You can change the path of wallpaper dir.

Arch Linux

0. If you're extra lazy you can use install_nix_and_home_manager_on_arch.sh script to install nix and home-manager. Just run it with chmod +x ./install_nix_and_home_manager_on_arch.sh && ./install_nix_and_home_manager_on_arch.sh
1. Copy this repo to ~/.config/home-manager or somewhere else.
2. Make sure to change variable to your liking inside flake.nix. Especially your username and home path!
3. Download all the dependencies yay -Syu --needed - < arch_packages.txt. You can use any other aur helper if you want to, but be aware that regular pacman most likely won't work as ashell is not in regular repos yet.
4. Run this command to apply all the configurations for the first time home-manager switch --flake .#arch -b backup. Make sure to be in the repo root. All your existing files will be backed up with .backup extension.
5. Enjoy! Now you can use nh. So for example to switch use nh home switch . -c arch --backup-extension backup

NixOS

1. Copy this repo to ~/.config/home-manager or somewhere else.
2. Make sure to change variable to your liking inside flake.nix. Especially your username and home path!
3. Run this command to apply all the configurations for the first time home-manager switch --flake .#nixos -b backup. Make sure to be in the repo root. All your existing files will be backed up with .backup extension.
4. Enjoy! Now you can use nh. So for example to switch use nh home switch . -c nixos --backup-extension backup

ALSO MAKE SURE TO ENABLE HYPRLAND SYSTEM WIDE!!!!

{
  programs.hyprland = {
    enable = true;
    withUWSM = true;
    xwayland.enable = true;
  };
}

I hope you'll enjoy it, if you for whatever reason want to try this random ass dotfiles found on the internet…
