Hey I was doing the same thing, and I found this guide from Arch really useful.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/XDG_Base_Directory
And yes I want to remove .nix-*
as well, thats well I bumped into your issue again.
Heh, thanks, I've already fixed all things that were recorded on that wiki page, what's left are things that were either inaccurate, tied to nixos or not listed there :)
There was an unofficial roadmap for nix that included some stabilization of nix flakes, which would likely make ditching ~/.nix*
easier to achieve. Of course this is behind schedule already (as always with software), but there is at least a push to finally making flakes happen. Once they're a little further down the road I'll probably revisit that issue upstream.
There are also some projects floating around that create modules for nixos which enable all these environment variables; it's worth looking into them, though when I started this they weren't yet usable enough. It might be worth contributing to those projects instead nowadays.
Good:)

Can you name those? I don't want to do this by myself alone. It is tedious.
And I wonder if you have moved your ~/.Xresources
into XDG CONFIG HOME? I have done that yesterday, ok with xrdb
, but it is not picked up by many softwares I use (wezterm
and brave
). And I cannot find any environment variable for its path.
Don't know the projects off the top of my head, sorry. I've not moved my Xresources yet, but only xrdb should read it; if other applications do they're doing it wrong.
I have just created a flake here, feel free to add anything in!
I put it in my configuration.nix
to disable .esd_auth
:
hardware.pulseaudio.extraConfig = "unload-module module-esound-protocol-unix";
Something that's very annoying for me is the .serverauth.*
file, but I don't know how to disable it.
About .pki
you can just move it to ~/.local/share/pki
and it will work out-of-the-box with Firefox, but Chrome is hardcoded and keeps creating it in ~/.pki
Nice to know, thanks!
Likely feasible
~/.python_history
~/.esd_auth
module-esound-protcol-unix.so
pulseaudio module/etc/pulse/default.pa
, and I'm not sure how to override module loads~/.mailcap
~/.mbsyncrc
~/.stumpish_history
~/.Xresources
~/.xprofile
~/.xsession
~/.lyrics
ncmpcpp
? Should be easy to fix.~/.bash_history
~/.ipython
Less feasible
~/.zcompdump
~/.mozilla
~/.pki
~/.stumpwm.d
~/.java
_JAVA_OPTIONS
, not sure why this is created anyway. Seems it's a bug~/.profile
~/.nix*
