Nic-OS - My nix configs w/ flake

This repository replaces my configuration / dotfiles repository.

This allows centralized and reproductable management of:

My linux computer management with NixOS
Dotfiles and custom configurations for programs
TODO: management of MacOS settings too (With nix-darwin)

All that, via a declarative and functional approach ("os-management-as-code") thanks to;

Nix package manager & NixOS
home-manager (Centralized management of programs for both Linux & MacOS)

Why nic-os ?

Profesionally, I'm known as "NicoS", and this manages my NixOS ! 😛
