Hello!
I’m getting back into NixOS again and i want to refactor my config heavily. Does anyone have any tips, advice or criticism on it? TIA.

Very exciting! You’re layout looks fine as is. As it grows it might change, but for what you have now its a great schema.
On themes: catppuccin has a dedicated flake for applying the catppuccin style to a lot of different terminal apps and gnome/kde I think. I prefer this over stylix, a general purpose themer, because I want explicit control over which color scheme is enabled on each app. Stylix is cool, but doesnt make it easy (or possible?) to apply different themes to different apps.
Declarative flatpak by
germanbreadin-a-dil-emma is a nice flake. Occassionally theres a flatpak I need that isnt already packaged. This takes care of that. https://github.com/in-a-dil-emma/declarative-flatpakIf you want to work with secrets, look into sops-nix. Vimjoyer on youtube has a great video on how to get it setup.
Thanks! :D Tbh i’m not quite sure what i’d store as a secret, but I still want to implement it when i need it later. I definitely want to set up nix-flatpak since some games i use are only on there, but i’m working on that.
I enjoy beyond all reason, which is the only flatpak I have in my config XD
Can you link the go repo for declarative flatpak because I can’t quiet find it
It appears the original user changed their github username. The project now lives at https://github.com/in-a-dil-emma/declarative-flatpak
Thank you!
I’m just starting with Nix I’m going to study this XD
:) feel free to, though keep in mind it’s a WIP and might not have best practices.
Only fair that i share my abomination
TODO Theming
Have a look at stylix (my settings uses this module)
Thanks for the recommendation and config :)
I appreciate the way you did things. Here is mine. Mine is a bit more hierarchical, and bit more abstracted (especially in the flake), but I wouldn’t say one way is better than another.
Thanks :)
From your config:
# proton GE needs to be installed imperatively using protonup environment.sessionVariables = { STEAM_EXTRA_COMPAT_TOOLS_PATHS = "/home/${config.globalConfig.user}/.steam/root/compatibilitytools.d"; };This is not the case anymore, there’s now a proton-ge package. Mine is:
programs.steam = { inherit (cfg) enable; extraCompatPackages = with pkgs; [proton-ge-bin]; remotePlay.openFirewall = true; dedicatedServer.openFirewall = true; };I’ll take a deeper look into your config later, it seems quite nice, i could learn something from it.
ooo thanks! I haven’t looked into that in a while
