## What it is
A personal Nix flake repository that declaratively builds Ryan4Yin's NixOS desktops, macOS (nix-darwin) desktops, and NixOS homelab servers. It includes home-manager configs, Wayland window managers (niri/i3/Hyprland), agenix secrets, and server services like Kubernetes, Prometheus, and Grafana.

## Use cases
- set up a reproducible NixOS desktop with Hyprland or i3
- manage macOS packages and dotfiles with nix-darwin and home-manager
- deploy homelab servers declaratively with Nix flakes
- learn how to structure a complex multi-host Nix flake configuration
- manage secrets in NixOS with agenix
- run Kubernetes and monitoring services on NixOS VMs
- rice a Linux desktop with a fully declarative config

## When to choose
- you want a real-world, actively maintained example of a multi-host Nix flake setup
- you need reproducible configs spanning NixOS, macOS, and homelab servers
- you want a riced Wayland desktop (niri/Hyprland/i3) configured via Nix
- you're an intermediate Nix user looking for patterns for secrets, home-manager, and server services

## When to avoid
- you're a complete NixOS beginner - the author recommends starting with older simpler releases like i3-kickstarter
- you need a turnkey product rather than a personal configuration to adapt
- you don't use Nix or NixOS at all
