# My NixOS Configuration
[](https://nixos.org)
[](https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri)
This is my NixOS configuration for both my desktop and laptop.
> This config is a **nightmare**. I would not wish this upon my worst enemies.
> Please, for the love of god, do not use this as a template for your own NixOS
> configuration. This is directed to the 9 people who have this repo starred.
## Overview
| | donkeykong (Desktop) | toad (Laptop, Framework 13") |
| ------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **DE / WM** | Niri | Niri |
| **Bar and Notifications** | [Custom Quickshell](https://github.com/matthew-hre/quickshell-config) | [Custom Quickshell](https://github.com/matthew-hre/quickshell-config) |
| **Launcher** | Vicinae | Vicinae |
| **Shell** | fish + Tide | fish + Tide |
| **Editor** | Helix + Zed | Helix + Zed |
| **Terminal** | Ghostty | Ghostty |
| **Browser** | Helium | Helium |
### Quickshell
The Wayland bar on **toad** is powered by [Quickshell](https://git.outfoxxed.me/outfoxxed/quickshell), a Qt6/QML-based shell toolkit. My config lives in a separate repo: [matthew-hre/quickshell-config](https://github.com/matthew-hre/quickshell-config). It's launched at startup by Niri and handles my notifications.
### Editors
**Helix** is the primary terminal editor, configured with Dracula, inlay hints, and LSP messages enabled. **Zed** handles GUI editing — it's built from source via the flake input and wrapped in an FHS environment (for extension deps like `openssl`/`zlib`). Both share a common set of language servers managed in `home/editors/language-servers.nix`.
## Structure

```
Hosts are built with a `mkHost` helper in `lib/` that wires up Home Manager, injects flake inputs as `specialArgs`, and merges per-host modules. The formatter is `alejandra`, enforced via a `pre-commit` hook.
