The setup is rather classic, most of the system configuration is shared between hosts.

HomeManager Config

There are some tools enabled by default (home/louis/global/tools.nix) but most features are optional.

Features are enabled using options defined in (home/louis/global/options). See magnus.nix:

home-config = {
  cli.commonTools.enable = true;   # eza, bat, wget, ...
  gui = {
    kitty.enable = true;
    schizofox.enable = true;       # "super ultra privacy friendly firefox config"
    social.enable = true;
    utils.enable = true;           # spotify, file manager, calibre, ...
  };
  dev = {
    vscode.enable = true;
    devTools.enable = true;       # tokei, tmux, ...
  };
  desktop.hyprland.enable = true; # Gnome is also an option
  virtualization.enable = true;   # qemu, ...
  # other options exists (gaming, ...)
};

Style is handled by Stylix:

stylix = {
    enable = true;
    image = pkgs.fetchurl {
      url = "https://images.pexels.com/photos/167698/pexels-photo-167698.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&w=1260&h=750&dpr=1";
      sha256 = "sha256-/Pw6zZ41isjbUwsaFOt2YWhE7oD8D6kNdLsaGtUdBrI=";
    };
    base16Scheme = "${pkgs.base16-schemes}/share/themes/selenized-light.yaml";
    cursor = {
      package = pkgs.numix-cursor-theme;
      name = "Numix-Cursor-Light";
      size = 22;
    };
    fonts = {
      monospace = {
        name = "FiraCode Nerd Font";
        package = pkgs.nerdfonts.override {fonts = ["FiraCode"];};
      };
      serif = config.stylix.fonts.monospace;
      sansSerif = config.stylix.fonts.monospace;
      emoji = config.stylix.fonts.monospace;
    };
  };

You also need to configure monitors (only for Hyprland):

monitors = [
    {
      name = "eDP-1";  # laptop
      width = 1920;
      height = 1080;
      x = 0;
      workspace = "1";
      primary = true;
    }
  ];

What you would change to use this config

Delete what you wouldn't use

Here are some random examples:

• Schizofox
• Nextcloud
• Helix/NixVim
• Some VSCode extensions
• LMStudio
• Git signing keys

What you need to do

NixOS

• Enable experimental features in your initial configuration if it's not already done
• Clone the repo
• Replace all occurences of louis by your username
• Replace all occurences of magnus by your hostname
• Either remove secrets management through sops or replace them with your own secrets. A hashed password could be considered as being enough so don't bother with secrets if you don't have any. (that's in ./hosts/common/users/USERNAME/default.nix)
• Replace hardware-config.nix with your own file produced by nixos-generate-config.

Home Manager

• you should already have changed magnus's config to be yours

• You should probably follow this algorithm:

• Comment out all features in ./home/USERNAME/HOSTNAME.nix

• For each feature, see what it enables, remove what you don't want, then enable it

• You should be good to rebuild : sudo nixos-rebuild --flake .#HOSTNAME boot then reboot now.
