A personal NixOS configuration repository (dotfiles) by hlissner, using Nix flakes to declaratively manage hosts, packages, and desktop tooling like Doom Emacs, Hyprland, and zsh. It includes an installer script and a management CLI ('hey') for maintaining the system.

Use cases

• manage my linux system configuration declaratively with nix flakes
• set up a nixos machine from dotfiles
• example nixos configuration with hyprland and doom emacs
• bootstrap a new nixos install from a git repo
• organize dotfiles across multiple hosts with nix

When to choose

• you want a real-world, actively maintained example of a flake-based NixOS setup
• you use or admire hlissner's tooling (Doom Emacs) and want a similar environment
• you need a reference for structuring multi-host NixOS configurations

When to avoid

• you want a community framework or NixOS distribution - the author explicitly warns against this
• you are a NixOS beginner looking for supported, documented tooling
• you expect polished, reusable modules rather than personal, over-engineered config
