My dotfiles for MacOS and Linux using Nix, home-manager, and nix-darwin.

Warning

Note that this configuration is actively evolving. While functional, some components are still being refined and optimized to ensure the best possible implementation.

Overview

This repository contains my system configurations managed through Nix. It supports both MacOS (via nix-darwin) and Linux (NixOS) systems, with a focus on maintaining a consistent development environment across different machines.

Key Components

• Flake-based: Uses Nix flakes for reproducible builds and dependencies
• Multi-user: Supports different user configurations on the same machine
• Cross-platform: Works on both MacOS (via nix-darwin) and Linux (NixOS)
• Modular: Configurations are split into reusable modules

Supported Systems

• MacOS (aarch64-darwin)

  • Primary configuration for goddard machine
  • Supports multiple users (romaingrx, lcmd)

• Linux (x86_64-linux)

  • NixOS configuration for carl machine

Known Issues and Limitations

MacOS (Darwin)

• Homebrew Multi-user Support: The current implementation doesn't handle Homebrew packages well in a multi-user setup. Package management and sharing between users needs improvement.
• Package Sharing: Limited capability for sharing packages between users in the Darwin setup, especially around sketchybar.
