Prevents an issue where previously it'd be possible for a nixos-rebuild
to stop during the middle of compilation during a build failure, which
is problematic for longer builds.
Note that deno was removed since it still fails to handle things like
Next.js with the 2.0 release candidate and I'd rather not have to deal
with all the other issues I faced while trying to use it with React.
Makes it easier to use stylix without depending on other parts of the
desktop. Mainly useful for using stylix with the phone module without
including desktop-related stuff.
Makes it possible to enable phone support for different devices in the
future.
Note that programs.man.generateCaches in home-manager is handled at the
system level to avoid having to later override it with mkForce.
Since the goal of this nix-config is to make a consistent environment
across any number of systems, having options goes against this.
If these configuration values need to be changed, they should affect all
systems using the config by default.
- GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM shouldn't be needed anymore and was
likely a skill issue in the past.
- NODE_OPTIONS should be set per-project instead of globally.
- GATSBY_TELEMETRY_DISABLED should also be set per-project, although the
framework seems to be in standby mode currently.
I added specializations over a year ago when I was still new to NixOS
and trying out some of the many different features unique to it. These
days I don't need much more than a terminal and a web browser, and I
haven't used GNOME or Plasma in over a year at this point.
Nowadays everything I need from a computer I can accomplish with the
terminal. Nixpkgs trained me to dig deep into source code to figure out
how to do things, and using a PinePhone significantly improved my
awareness of how Linux interacts with hardware and how to configure it.
One of the biggest motivators for dropping these environments is that I
can't keep up with the changes that are made to GNOME and Plasma.
Hyprland has served my needs well and feels more stable since there
isn't a user interface that's constantly changing.
Note that glib was supposedly added for mounting-related things, but
this should be possible to upstream into the derivation instead if it
hasn't been added already.
