Installation with GNU Stow

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/schlich/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles
   cd ~/dotfiles

2. Use stow to symlink configs (stow automatically converts dot-* to .):

   stow .

Home Manager Setup

WSL (no window manager)

cd ~/dotfiles/home-manager
nix run home-manager/master -- switch --flake .#nixos

Native Linux with Niri

cd ~/dotfiles/home-manager
nix run home-manager/master -- switch --flake .#nixos-niri

This will install niri and related wayland tools (waybar, fuzzel, mako, etc.).

Updating

Update flake inputs:

cd ~/dotfiles/home-manager
nix flake update
home-manager switch --flake .#nixos  # or .#nixos-niri

Sync dotfiles changes:

cd ~/dotfiles
git pull
stow --restow .

Notes

• The dot-* prefix is automatically converted to . by GNU stow
• home-manager/niri.nix contains niri-specific configuration
• WSL configuration (nixos) excludes window manager packages
• Native Linux configuration (nixos-niri) includes full desktop setup
