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
- Reproducibility: Use Flakes and specific Git pins to ensure that "it works on my machine" means it works on every machine.
- Shared Experience: The
common/directory defines a single source of truth for my user account, Plasma 6 desktop environment, and application suite. - 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).
- Security & Accessibility: Integrating hardware-level security (Fingerprint) with daily convenience (SDDM Numlock, Plasma 6 Wayland) for a "premium" Linux experience.
The Fleet
| Host | Status | Intent |
|---|---|---|
| Electra | Active | Powerhouse. Used for gaming, LLM development, and high-performance tasks. Features deep NVIDIA integration and Strix Point optimizations. |
| Lena | Deploying | Versatility. A convertible 2-in-1 for travel and tablet use. Optimized for battery life and touch interaction. |
