Dr460nixed NixOS 🐉❄️

Hey stranger, I'm Nico! 👋

I am an avid Linux enthusiast and hobby developer from Germany 🇩🇪

After having found a deep passion for Linux, automation, declarative infrastructure, and all kinds of FOSS projects, I love spending my time:

• maintaining Garuda Linux. Here, I'm mostly maintaining the servers and the package repository. I also take care of a lot of other stuff that needs to be done. If you love dark and blurry interfaces, the dr460nized edition might be something for you! 🐉 Recently, we transitioned our existing NixOS infrastructure to a completely different setup, making it much more efficient than before. We also provide web services like Piped, Matrix and Lemmy amongst other web services.

  

• being the lead maintainer of Chaotic-AUR, an Arch Linux user repository that also happens to be the repo of Garuda Linux. It can be used to prevent long compilation times of AUR packages that would otherwise take hours to complete. Since most packages are getting rebuilt hourly if updates are found, it is very easy to get always the latest packages and follow development processes.

• creating and maintaining two NixOS flakes - Dr460nixed and Garuda Nix Subsystem. The former makes use of the subsystem's internal modules and provides a framework to easily get started with a pre-configured NixOS flakes setup (ISO/installer as well as many example configurations available), the latter is meant to be used from within an already set up Garuda installation, adding a NixOS installation which lives in a separate BTRFS subvolume and which has important settings like users or passwords automatically derived from Garuda's settings. Both flakes makes use of the quite new Chaotic Nyx overlay, for which I'm also maintaining several packages.

  

• maintaining FireDragon, a Librewolf fork that focuses on providing better KDE integration and saner default settings. Since I'm a huge fan of self-hosting services, it integrates some of our hosted services such as our own Firefox sync server, searX, and Whoogle.

I'm already working with and learning the following technologies

Install failure with nvidia prime?

I was following the guide here https://nix.garudalinux.org/subsystem/quick-start and I get an error I think is related to my laptops nvidia card? Here's the output. inxi at bottom.

Feature parity with Garuda Linux

Is this 1:1 with Garuda Linux except for the Arch Linux parts? Will I get the same optimisations and extra tools?
It would be helpful if you add a section about that in README. I want to migrate to NixOS but Garuda Linux seemed too integrated with Arch and I'd very much stick to Garuda whichever distro.

garuda-dr460nized dependencies vs plasma5-themes-sweet-kde-git

Starting today 2023-10-30 is resulting in a an unresolvable dependency chain.

garuda-dr460nized depends on sweet-theme-full-git

However,
sweet-theme-full-git and sweet-kde-theme-git
have been replaced by:
plasma5-themes-sweet-full-git and plasma5-themes-sweet-kde-git

I believe garuda-dr460nized simply needs updated to account for the new package themes.

Installer Issues

I wanted to tryout the installer since I was switching out my filesystem. It fails to install after selecting all the options because extra-experimental-features is required. I added it to my nix.confg, but it seems to still be internal.
