A tidy $HOME is a tidy mind

  • Fanatical XDG compliance
  • Closet Vim-in-Emacs evangelist
  • Aesthetics are modularized into theme modules
  • Tailored to a C++ GameDev hobbyist
    • Love2D, godot, or phaser for rapid prototyping
    • LMMS + Sunvox as my DAW
    • GIMP & Aseprite for gfx
  • Former Adobe cultist, trying real hard to like the open source alternatives.
    • Photoshop -> GIMP & Krita
    • Illustrator -> Inkscape
    • InDesign or XD -> HTML + print stylesheets
    • Premiere/After Effects -> DaVinci Resolve (how dafuq is this free?)
    • Animate/Flash -> Aseprite
    • Audition -> Audacity
  • Works on my machine ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Me looking busy

  • Operating System: NixOS 19.09
  • Shell: zsh 5.7.1 + zgen
  • DM: lightdm + lightdm-mini-greeter
  • WM: bspwm + polybar
  • Editor: Doom Emacs (and occasionally vim)
  • Terminal: st
  • Launcher: rofi
  • Browser: firefox
  • GTK Theme: Ant Dracula
  • Icon Theme: Paper Mono Dark

Quick start

# Assumes your partitions are set up and root is mounted on /mnt
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hlissner/dotfiles/nixos/deploy | sh

Which is equivalent to:

USER=${USER:-hlissner}
HOST=${HOST:-kuro}
NIXOS_VERSION=19.09
DOTFILES=/home/$USER/.dotfiles

git clone https://github.com/hlissner/dotfiles /etc/dotfiles
ln -s /etc/dotfiles $DOTFILES
chown -R $USER:users $DOTFILES

# make channels
nix-channel --add "https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-${NIXOS_VERSION}" nixos
nix-channel --add "https://github.com/rycee/home-manager/archive/release-${NIXOS_VERSION}.tar.gz" home-manager
nix-channel --add "https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable" nixpkgs-unstable

# make /etc/nixos/configuration.nix
nixos-generate-config --root /mnt
echo "import /etc/dotfiles \"$$HOST\" \"$$USER\"" >/mnt/etc/nixos/configuration.nix

# make install
nixos-install --root /mnt -I "my=/etc/dotfiles"

Management

  • make = nixos-rebuild test
  • make switch = nixos-rebuild switch
  • make upgrade = nix-channel --update && nixos-rebuild switch
  • make install = nixos-generate-config --root $PREFIX && nixos-install --root $PREFIX
  • make gc = nix-collect-garbage -d (use sudo to clear system profile)
