Desktop configuration as code.
Using Nix as a configuration layer to stitch together a deterministic,
immutable desktop environment from a variety of tools. It mostly consists of
makeWrapper, symlinkJoin, templated scripts and configuration, and a bunch
of my own Nix packages. It does not and will not require NixOS, just Nix on Linux.
The top-level default.nix is a good place to start.
This is not immediately usable by others due to the private submodule containing various fonts and programs that I do not have the right to distribute. You could hack around this pretty easily if you really wanted to. Once you have done so, deploying is as simple as:
nix-env -f default.nix -i nix-config
echo "xinitrc" >> $HOME/.xinitrc... and logging in with startx, SLiM, or what ever have you.
I am doing this to learn Nix while addressing a personal frustration, namely the effort involved in customising a Linux desktop and keeping changes + adhoc software synchronised between multiple machines. The Nix code is likely not idiomatic. File pull requests if you care. Don't file issues.
