My NixOS Setup & Dotfiles

This repository contains my personal NixOS configuration, dotfiles, and Linux environment setup. I’ve been using it on my Lenovo L13 Gen2 (Intel) laptop as a daily driver for over a month. It’s modular, reproducible, and fully managed with home-manager. Desktop configuration and homelabs are planned next.

Overview

• Primary Focus: Laptop first, desktop next, homelabs in the future

• Key Skills: Linux fundamentals, NixOS, automation, reproducible configurations, Docker

• Environments & Tools:

  • Window Managers: Hyprland, Niri, Noctalia, KDE, XFCE
  • Terminal & Shell: starship, ghostty, fuzzel, eza
  • Visuals: Custom icons, cursors, themes

• Approach: Fully managed with home-manager

Installation

1. Install NixOS on your machine (minimal/basic install).

2. Clone the dotfiles into your home directory:

git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/<repo-name>.git ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles

3. Apply your system configuration for the Lenovo L13 Gen2 laptop:

sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#episodecode

This will apply all NixOS modules, device-specific configs, and home-manager settings automatically.
