[Feature Request]: NixOS Distribution #1544

Closed ArikRahman closed 3 months ago

ArikRahman commented 3 months ago

Feature Request

Description

[Provide a clear and concise description of the feature you'd like to see added.] I was rocking hyprdots for a long time on archcraft until I managed to break the package manager. This made me ragehop onto a distro that kept backups and wouldn't allow for this sort of issue, landing me on NixOS.

Use Case

[Describe how this feature would be useful to you or to other users of the project.] I think having a similar setup on NixOS would make these dotfiles future-proof against dependency breakage.

Proposed Solution

[If you have a specific solution in mind, describe it here. If not, you can skip this section.] I am currently working on an implemenration and configuration.nix that allows for hyprland setup. Since this all happened recently, I've only managed to boot into bare hyprland from a gnome session.

Alternatives

[Are there any alternative solutions or workarounds that you've considered? If so, describe them here.] N/A

Additional Information

[Add any other information about the feature request here. For example, you might include links to similar features in other projects, or screenshots or diagrams to help explain your idea.]

This can be doable. But I guess its difficult to manage in this repo . Would be good to do on a separate repo similar to how hyperdots-debian is there.

Please see the attempts in the discussions panel and continue the discussions there. I will try to link it later. Will close this now as we need a larger discussion platform to talk about these things.

If someone could pull the initial setup for nixOS that is almost a mirror of HyDE, will gladly help to sort things out. I think I'm quite familiar with how HyDE works.
