Key Features

• Window Manager — Hyprland (Wayland) with vim-style bindings
• Theming — Stylix for system-wide colorscheming
• Shell — Zsh with atuin, yazi, zoxide
• Audio — PipeWire with wireplumber
• Secrets — SOPS-encrypted secrets per machine
• Install — Disko for declarative disk partitioning + LUKS
• Development — Devenv, Neovim

Install

Prerequisite: The SOPS private key must be available to decrypt credentials during install.

just prep-disk x1       # Destroy disk, setup partitions, lucks, filesystem and mount partitions
just nix-os-install x1  # Install NixOS
# or
just install-nix x1 # does both steps in one

Structure

• flake.nix is the entry point, exporting both NixOS and Home-Manager configurations.
• Machine-specific configs live under machines/<host>/, importing shared modules from misc/.
• User home configs are in machines/<host>/users/<user>/.
• Secrets are encrypted with SOPS (sops..yaml), machine key lives in machines/<host>/sops.nix.
• Dev convenience via justfile (just upp, just prep-disk x1, etc.).
