Steal this config

dotfiles

My dotfiles for Mac and Linux (NixOS btw)

Supported hardware

• Intel or Nvidia GPU
• Intel or AMD CPU
• mac x86-64

Current state

I'm still in process of testing Nix. Everything is in constant flux.

I've tried to split everything into commits with decent messages. It's probably best if you shift through the commits to learn more.

Don't blindly copy this repository and try to install. I will force push from time to time and break stuff often.

Usage

Update NixOS system:

sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .

Update macOS system:

darwin-rebuild switch --flake .

Build bootable ISO at ./result:

nix build .#nixosConfigurations.sheridan.config.system.build.isoImage

Guidelines

Some guidelines for configuration:

1. Be explicit! If that means copying the same pwd command a thousand times then so be it.

2. Simple problems should have simple solutions! We're provisioning machines not trying to fly to fucking Mars...

3. Remember that when you need to install these it's usually not because it's a sunny afternoon and you have all the time in the world. You'll install these when there are deadlines coming and your laptop decided to kill itself.

   So make these scripts with this in mind. When all you have is time, then you could make these in assembly and still have fun.

   But sadly that is fiction.

What did you use before Nix

Over 10 years ago, I used laptop. During or after which, I experimented with rcm. I dropped it after I got a new machine and had forgotten how it worked.

Eventually I migrated to plain ass bash script for symlinking dotfiles. Check commit 4f63efd8bc8dbec8913ed7e9fcbe6e89c81f6d10 for the last working version of that.
