dotfiles

NixOS + home-manager, dendritic flake-parts + import-tree, everything in modules/ is auto-discovered

Some inspirations:

• JakeGinesin
• NSS (not public, thx for always showing me cool things)
• Omarchy, not specifically nix related but I've found some cool tools through the slop tweets I see of it

modern replacements

• niri over a workspace tiler, columns on a scrollable strip, opening a window never resizes the others
• helix over neovim, selection first editing, native multicursor and tree-sitter
• zellij over tmux, sessions attach from the browser for pairing, floating panes
• jujutsu alongside git, the working copy is a commit and every operation is undoable, mergiraf syntax aware merges, difftastic diffs
• atuin owns the up arrow, every command logged to sqlite with exit code and duration, searchable across all sessions
• zoxide over cd, learns every directory you visit, z par jumps to the best frecency match from anywhere
• starship prompt with the jj change id inline
• carapace completions for hundreds of clis from one binary, same behavior in every shell
• vicinae over rofi, raycast style launcher with nix search and clipboard history
• nh over nixos-rebuild, channels killed, registry pinned to the lockfile
• yazi over ranger, async previews
• comma, , cowsay runs uninstalled tools from the binary cache
• tealdeer over man, batman for the full page
• jnv for interactive jq, numbat for unit aware math
• ast-grep over grep for code, search and rewrite the syntax tree with patterns that look like the code itself, tailspin highlights logs
• viddy over watch, records every run so you can rewind and diff them
• rip2 over rm, deletions land in a graveyard and rip -u brings them back
• q over dig, supports doh, dot and doq
• ouch over tar flags, infers the format from the extension in both directions
• gh-dash, jjui, lazydocker, bluetui tuis
• bat/cat, eza/ls, sd/sed, procs/ps, duf/df, dua/du, choose/cut, gping/ping, trippy/traceroute, miniserve/http.server

Other bits:

• lanzaboote secure boot, tpm2 luks unlock, hibernate to encrypted swap
• keepassxc as the secrets provider, fdosecrets, ssh agent, with browser integrations
• secretspec + age for api keys, encrypted blob for slop skills
• dnscrypt-proxy through anonymized relays, tor/i2p
• oled black catppuccin theme, palette in colors.nix
• declarative firefox and thunderbird profiles
• scx_lavd scheduler, zram + systemd-oomd
• dev tooling in a flake partition (consumers never evaluate treefmt, statix or git hooks)
• screenshots via wayfreeze + slurp, gpu-screen-recorder for quick recordings
• winboat for windows apps

stealing this

Clone to ~/dotfiles, grep for fbad, swap in your username. Copy a host dir, regenerate the hardware config, import the features you want. nh os switch and pray

First rebuild will need boot instead of switch since it swaps dbus:

sudo nixos-rebuild boot --flake ~/dotfiles
