[hyprland] My NixOS Configuration
(lemmy.world)
Plenty of nix'd config, nix-colors theming for most applications. I've only been using linux for around 6 months, NixOS has really clicked with me.
My config might be sub-optimal in areas, but its gone through some heavy changes since its inception.
Thanks for the details. I've jumped around, but use Gnome as it just works and I don't have to tweak much. It sounds like hyprland would allow more control, that after I got past the initial setup, I could kind of set it and forget it, until I wanted to add to it as the landscape changes over the years. Maybe I will continue with both hyprland & Gnome until I get my footing.
Good to know that you can use GUI along with TUI. I would want a GUI wifi manager, because I don't want to mess around with configuring my wifi in the terminal.
Home-manger is great, but yeah, I get the original sentiment. Flakes and home-manager are complicated, until they are not. :)
Also good to hear it works great with gaming. I was just concerned that because most games are full screen and Gnome does it for you, that it would nuke your window setup in a tiling window manager like hyprland, but again I've never used a tiling window manager (other than failing with herbstluft many years ago).
Wayland is great. Just need to figure out remote access and I think I have all the features that X11 offered at this point.
I didn't say it earlier- but your setup looks great btw.
Cheers man, appreciate it. It's an awful mess rn, but an ever changing awful mess.
Ahh I tried to have herbstluft running before I had hypr running, but my Linux inexperience got me when I landed in a tty and couldn't run the wm.
Remote access into my personal machines isn't required outside of SSH, for work I remote into Windows machines using remmina without any issues. I ~was~ working on screen sharing in my config, in /hardware/audio/ but got distracted by the rest of my config.
Running Hypr for a while has really given me more insight into the "bloat" of modern desktop environments, NixOS too has pushed me further into that rabbit hole.
I mean, if your running Nix why not add another branch to your git and give it a twirl?
