# Nimmo's NixOS Configurations

## The Philosophy
The goal of this repository is to maintain a unified, reproducible computing environment across multiple high-performance machines. By leveraging **NixOS Flakes**, I ensure that my workflow—from development tools to desktop aesthetics—remains consistent whether I'm on my primary workstation or a mobile 2-in-1.

### Core Intentions
1.  **Reproducibility**: Use Flakes and specific Git pins to ensure that "it works on my machine" means it works on *every* machine.
2.  **Shared Experience**: The `common/` directory defines a single source of truth for my user account, Plasma 6 desktop environment, and application suite.
3.  **Hardware Optimization**: While the experience is unified, the configuration is not generic. Each host contains specific tuning for its hardware (e.g., Framework 16 specialisations vs. Lenovo 2-in-1 sensor support).
4.  **Security & Accessibility**: Integrating hardware-level security (Fingerprint) with daily convenience (SDDM Numlock, Plasma 6 Wayland) for a "premium" Linux experience.
