[hyprland] My NixOS Configuration (lemmy.world)

Plenty of nix'd config, nix-colors theming for most applications. I've only been using linux for around 6 months, NixOS has really clicked with me.

My config might be sub-optimal in areas, but its gone through some heavy changes since its inception.

Thanks for the details. I've jumped around, but use Gnome as it just works and I don't have to tweak much. It sounds like hyprland would allow more control, that after I got past the initial setup, I could kind of set it and forget it, until I wanted to add to it as the landscape changes over the years. Maybe I will continue with both hyprland & Gnome until I get my footing.

Good to know that you can use GUI along with TUI. I would want a GUI wifi manager, because I don't want to mess around with configuring my wifi in the terminal.

Home-manger is great, but yeah, I get the original sentiment. Flakes and home-manager are complicated, until they are not. :)

Also good to hear it works great with gaming. I was just concerned that because most games are full screen and Gnome does it for you, that it would nuke your window setup in a tiling window manager like hyprland, but again I've never used a tiling window manager (other than failing with herbstluft many years ago).

Wayland is great. Just need to figure out remote access and I think I have all the features that X11 offered at this point.

I didn't say it earlier- but your setup looks great btw.
