README
> I manage my dotfiles with [Nix](https://nixos.org/) and [Homemanager](https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager) on the atomic and immutable distribution [Fedora Kinoite](https://fedoraproject.org/atomic-desktops/kinoite/). I use nix packages to avoid flatpak and layering to the base image. Nixpkgs is one of the largest linux package bases, for what is not available I use podman containers. Home-manager control absolutely everything declaratively and even deployment with [rpm-ostree](https://coreos.github.io/rpm-ostree/).
