I think it's about time I improved a bit on my Nix and NixOS knowledge, and I guess the best way is having someone more experienced critique my monstrosity of a setup.

Maybe it's too modular? Not modular enough? Convoluted? Complete garbage altogether?

Go to the repo and find out! Just be sure to let me know after.

It's a bit LMAO-worthy, yes. I have it mostly out fear some sofware might break on Hyprland at a bad time, and because I'm too lazy to look for some basic utilities separately.

No I am in the same camp. I hate complexity. There's too many crumbs of utilities to reassemble into the entire loaf of functionality. Hence I haven't tried installing arch in a long while (I use endeavorOS as my daily) and I haven't tried running nix. The need has not arisen yet.

You're missing out man, I've been daily driving NixOS for almost two years now and I can't go back. It's not that complex to set up and it's great knowing most of what's on your system at a glance by looking at a config file.

I was waiting for the itch to get worse so i can scratch it off.. but you have convinced me enough to give it a go. Here's hoping i don't create an abomination!

The learning curve is high when you're starting out so expect to scratch your head in your first week. Once it clicks in, it'll be smooth sailing after.
