Similar to fish, there's some relief in knowing that I can declare my
starship settings in Nix and have them accessible from any user on the
machine, even root.
I originally wasn't going to mix logic from my dotfiles with NixOS,
however I was unable to simply use my abbreviations after adding
~/.config/fish/config.fish, so I decided to give it a try.
Using Nix to manage fish abbreviations feels nicer than using a
config.fish because I am now easily able to manipulate these
abbreviations with the limitless possibilities of the Nix language, and
with the guarantee that the output is reproducible.
Highlights:
- Added a test container with network configuration and Wayland support
- Added GNOME/Hyprland support with SDDM
- Added Git/Starship/GPG support
- Properly added Neovim support with .enable
- Various package changes
- Made caps lock function as escape on tap, left ctrl on hold
- Print screen functions as right super on hold
These are my first steps towards using Nix and NixOS to declaratively
configure a reasonably good development environment. I am aware that
there are various paradigms that include using home manager and/or
flakes, however I am still exploring with a simple configuration.nix.
