Dr460nixed NixOS ❄️

This repository contains a framework to get started with NixOS quickly, featuring opinionated and selected default settings. It also contains my personal NixOS configuration, which might serve as inspiration for other people's setups.

While starting out with NixOS, especially reading other peoples flakes proved to be very helpful, so I figured sharing my personal setup my help other people as well! Those who like the "dr460nized" look of Garuda will definitely like this one as well ☺️

So how does it work?

ISO builds are available as well as a simple installer, which employs nix flake init to deploy a basic and generic version of this flake's template based on user's choices. Partitioning is achieved via disko presets, and the installer may be used on regular NixOS live mediums as well. Users may then continue building their own version of NixOS using code snippets of this repository and further linked sources. Furthermore, the flakes' outputs are automatically built and cached via garnix.

There is a documentation available about various topics, which also contains the code snippets that might provide further useful customization options.

How does it look like?

What settings does the installer provide?

Right now, it basically just bootstraps a basic desktop environment with theming, Nix, and OS-related defaults to have common things working out of the box.

{
  dr460nixed = {
    chromium = true;
    desktops.enable = true;
    example-boot.enable = true;
    performance = true;
  };
}

Which translates to:

• Enjoying a fully pre-configured Garuda dr460nized KDE themed setup: Dr460nixed !
• Being able to use all of Garuda Nix Subsystems modules
• The custom Linux-cachyos BORE EEVDF kernel of the Linux CachyOS developers
• Having access to additional packages not existing in Nixpkgs (yet) via Chaotic Nyx
• Using Garnix CI cache for this flakes' outputs
• Keeping all of it well organized via flake-parts

It might receive more module options in the future, though I currently believe that showing people how to achieve things in Nix might be more useful than just providing a toggle for it.

What kind of configuration is available via code snippets?

• Multiple NixOS configurations, including desktop, server, nixos-wsl , raspberry pi & live-usb
• Root-on-ZFS and secure-boot enabled systems via Lanzaboote
• Opt-in persistence through impermanence + ZFS snapshots
• Mesh networked hosts with Tailscale
• Opt-in 2FA protection of ssh and password prompts with Duo Security
• Secrets managed via nix-sops
• Always up-to-date live images automatically built via Github actions
• Custom devshells with fully declarative pre-commit-hooks
• No password prompts when having a Yubikey connected to a device
• Easily remote-controllable machines via KDEConnect and a self-hosted Rustdesk server
• Custom bleeding-edge Mesa builds
