Irrennix

This is Irrennix. It builds on a so-called 'Irrenflake' - which is an abhorrent amalgamation of German and English mashed together into one word, which is a crime in itself already. A system built on such sin can therefore only be most stable and reasonable.

Or in other words, I have no idea what I am doing and the more sophisticated mind will probably get an aneurism if they stare at this too long.

Theme

This config follows a general design theme - fittingly named Sezziato to combine two things that define me: my username and a caffeine addiction. The theme is defined here.

Troubleshooting

It is the number one law of software that things break and go wrong. This might prevent some future mild annoyance.

Buggy GUI for Chromium/Electron apps

For some reason, the GUI for Electron-based apps like VSCodium and Cider can become extremely buggy sometimes - this seems to be a Chromium issue, see here and here. In any case, the GUI can usually be fixed by deleting some GPU-cache-directories for the affected app:

rm -r ~/.config/<APPNAME>/GPUCache ~/.config/<APPNAME>/Crashpad

Problems with missing files after garbage collection

Try a nix-store repair, then try rebuilding the system again:

sudo nix-store --repair --verify --check-contents
