NixOS config

My current - and always evolving - NixOS configuration files, home-manager, neovim, etc. Inspired by https://gvolpe.com/blog/xmonad-polybar-nixos

First time setup

Install NixOS and symlink /etc/nixos/configuration.nix to ./configuration.nix.

• sudo ln --force -s ~/.config/nixpkgs/configuration.nix /etc/nixos/configuration.nix

Install homemanager

Set up the home manager channel.

nix-channel --add https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/archive/release-21.11.tar.gz home-manager
nix-channel --update

Log out and log back in.

Run the install command nix-shell '<home-manager>' -A install

Programs

Type	Program
Editor	NeoVim
File Manager	Ranger
Launcher	Rofi
Shell	Fish
Status Bar	Xmobar
Terminal	Alacritty
Window Manager	XMonad

Keybindings

In addition to XMonad's default keybindings, there's also:

• Mod+p for Rofi
• Mod+[ for Firefox
• Mod+] for Ranger

Notes

• If network manager fails to start wifi, the card may be blocked (flightmode). Run sudo rfkill unblock wlan to unlock it.
