My home-manager configuration

home.nix

This is my home-manager configuration. This is how I configure my user environment on *nix systems. I have set it up in a modular format so that I can pick and choose which modules I want to use on a per-machine basis.

Installation

Follow the guide in install.md.

Configuration

These modules are configured through home configuration. The main configuration root is distro. For example, you can enable the graphical aspects with something like this:

{
  distro = {
    ui = {
      enable = true;

      # Typically necessary for non-NixOS systems
      nixGLPrefix = "${(import <nixgl> {}).auto.nixGLDefault}/bin/nixGL";
    };
  };
}

On non-NixOS systems, NixGL is typically necessary for graphical applications to work. The previous example has a NixGL prefix set as an example, but the channel will also need to be added:

nix-channel --add https://github.com/nix-community/nixGL/archive/main.tar.gz nixgl && nix-channel --update

Some common (default) configuration options are:

{
  distro = {
    # Utilities such as git, ssh, direnv, etc.
    utilities.enable = true;

    # Editor setup (tmux & neovim)
    editor.enable = true;

    # Interface setup for fonts, programs, etc.
    ui.enable = false;
  };
}
