About

This repository contains my systems setup. I have three hosts set up by this repository:

• A Lenovo laptop running NixOS
• The same Lenovo laptop running GNU/Linux debian. This setup is kept as a reference - I don’t use it myself any longer.
• A Macbook running macOS

I use nix as package manager for all hosts. I use Home Manager to declare nix packages and configuration to use. For the macbook I additionally use nix-darwin to set up system packages and fonts. All hosts are configured from their respective /hosts directory, hosts/common.nix contain shared configuration and program-specific configuration live under /programs/
