My desktop config files using NixOS.
- OS: NixOS
- Desktop Environment: KDE Plamsa 6
- Diplay Manager: LightDM
- Shell: Bash
- Terminal: Konsole
- Tiling: Krohnkite
- Theme:
- Global Theme: Breeze Dark
- Colors: Catppucin Mocha Lavender
- Window Decoration: Dracula

Replace default config file in /etc/nixos/configuration.nix using something like:
sudo cp ./nixos/configuration.nix /etc/nixos/configuration.nix.
Or create symlink with something like:
sudo ln -s ./nixos/configuration.nix /etc/nixos/configuration.nix
Then apply changes by running rebuild and switch:
sudo nixos-rebuild switch
Once changes have been applied manually setup panel, theming, shortcuts, widgets. Optionally add Krohnkite for tiling support.
- Organize config file better (can break down from one large file to smaller files)
- Consider making KDE settings (theming, shortcuts, etc) more automated (currently have to manually go into KDE settings to do so)
