It's like NixOS's configuration file, but only for the home directory. It's great if you want to tinker without adding a bunch of generations to your boot menu, or use different configurations for users on the same system.\n\nIt can work on other distros too—I tried it on openSUSE Tumbleweed, though not long-term.\n\n- [Home Manager][hm1]\n- [Home Manager manual][hm2]\n- [Home Manager configuration options manual][hm3]\n- [Search Home Manager options][hm4]\n\n[hm1]: https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager\n[hm2]: https://nix-community.github.io/home-manager\n[hm3]: https://nix-community.github.io/home-manager/options.xhtml\n[hm4]: https://home-manager-options.extranix.com\n\n### Extras\n\nI mainly use NixOS and Home Manager, but here are some other interesting tools.\n\n- [nh][em1], a pretty wrapper for rebuilding\n- [NixVim][em2], for configuring Neovim and its plugins declaratively\n  - [Documentation][em3]\n- [Stylix][em5], for quick universal colorschemes and fonts\n  - [Documentation][em6]\n- [nix-flatpak][em4], for managing Flatpaks declaratively\n\n[em1]: https://github.com/viperML/nh\n[em2]: https://github.com/nix-community/nixvim\n[em3]: https://nix-community.github.io/nixvim\n[em5]: https://github.com/danth/stylix\n[em6]: https://danth.github.io/stylix/options/nixos.html\n[em4]: https://github.com/gmodena/nix-flatpak\n\n# Pieces of Advice\n\n- Use `nix path-info nixpkgs#\u003cpackage-name\u003e`!\n  - Trust me, it is _not_ fun to manually search through `nix/store/` to find a specific package file\n  - The sooner you're know this, the better!\n- If you want a starter config, start small!\n  - You can understand a lot by doing things yourself\n  - And configs that are too complex may confuse you out of changing them\n  - If you really want a config without the manual effort, NixOS is probably not for you\n- NixOS documentation is truly sparse\n  - To dig deep, don't be afraid to look through the source code and manuals\n  - You can do a ton on NixOS, but it takes time, effort, and undoubtly frustration\n- You don't need to rely on the options NixOS and Home Manager give you to create config files\n  - NixOS has `environment.etc.\"path/file.type\"`, meaning `etc/path/file.type`\n  - Home Manager has many:\n    - `home.file.\"path/file.type\"` means `home/user/path/file.type`\n    - `xdg.configFile.\"path/file.type\"` means `~/.config/path/file.type`\n      - (Unless you changed your XDG config directory)\n  - You can use `\"path/file.type\".source = config.lib.file.mkOutOfStoreSymlink /absolute/path/to/file` to symlink an existing file to the location you want\n  - Or create your own modules\n- NixOS works very differently to other Linux distros, but that's why I enjoy it!\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmimvoid%2Fnix-config","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fmimvoid%2Fnix-config","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmimvoid%2Fnix-config/lists"}
