Structure

flake.nix              # Entrypoint — nixpkgs-unstable + home-manager
configuration.nix      # Shared NixOS config imported by all hosts
hosts/                 # Per-host hardware configurations
system/                 # NixOS modules (audio, hyprland, packages, plymouth, programs, users)
home.nix               # Home Manager entrypoint
home/                  # User-level config (bash, zsh, git, gtk, xdg, packages, dev tools)

Features

• Hyprland — Wayland compositor with XWayland support
• Plymouth — Graphical boot splash (lone preset, silent boot, systemd initrd)
• Home Manager — Declarative user environment (Neovim, Ghostty, Kitty, Waybar, Rofi, Starship, swww)
• Audio — PipeWire via system/audio.nix
• 1Password — System-level GUI + CLI integration

Disk Preparation

IMPORTANT: I don't use a display manager like sddm. This hardware setup assumes your main disk is encrypted. While you can certainly modify, unless you encrypt your disk and/or use a display manager, using this configuration leaves you vulnerable.

Basic LUKS encryption setup (Assuming UEFI boot, swap, and OS partitions on a modern NVME drive):

cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/nvme0n1p3
cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/nvme0n1p3 cryptroot
mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/cryptroot

Rebuild

# Build and switch (replace <host> with erebor, imladris, or nixvm)
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#<host>

There are two utility aliases for bash and zsh that will rebuild and garbage collect, respectively. The hostname is determined in the alias, so you don't need to specify the host name.

Rebuild

nix-rb

Garbage Collect

nix-gc
