Highly flexible and easy to manage Nix configuration
These are my first NixOS dotfiles. The following is the file tree:
nixos
├── common (some configs that I'm sure will be common on all of my setups)
├── devices
│ └── printers
├── flake.lock
├── flake.nix
├── home (home manager files)
│ ├── environments
│ │ └── hyprland
│ │ ├── default.nix
│ │ ├── overlays
│ │ ├── scripts (my scripts related to hyprland)
│ │ ├── software
│ │ │ ├── configs (configs related to hyprland)
│ │ │ ├── global.nix (for system packages, programs or services)
│ │ │ └── local.nix (for home manager packages, programs or services)
│ │ └── wallpaper
│ └── software
│ ├── configs (configs related to software like neovim, tmux, which are independent of the environment)
│ ├── drv (my derivations)
│ ├── global.nix (for system packages, programs or services)
│ └── local.nix (for home manager packages, programs or services)
├── hosts
│ └── ideapad-2023
│ ├── configuration.nix
│ ├── hardware-configuration.nix
│ └── system
│ ├── bluetooth.nix
│ ├── cpu.nix
│ ├── default.nix
│ ├── disks.nix
│ ├── graphics.nix
│ └── tlp.nix
├── overlays
└── users
└── prayag
├── global.nix
└── local.nix
I created this structure in such a way that you can connect different files like lego bricks. For example, in the hosts folder, you can add any number of host devices like laptops or desktop PCs. In the devices folder, you can add other devices like printers. In the home/software folder, you can add software that you'd like to install. In the home/environments folder you can add other window managers or desktop environments. In the users folder, you have to specify which of these files to include for a specific user. I'll explain the other parts later...
