Add Nix support to the dotfiles.
Develop dedicated flake.nix

May I work on Nix Support? I've been tinkering around with using hyprland with Nix.

May I work on Nix Support? I've been tinkering around with using hyprland with Nix.

Every help is welcome.
This is my current flake to install dependencies. Dotfiles will be installed with the Dotfiles Installer.
https://github.com/mylinuxforwork/dotfiles/blob/1164-nix/setup/nix/flake.nix
Can be installed with:
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --impure --flake .

Works great so far.... except... waypaper. I got error messages when I run it. And Waypaper ist needed for setting the wallpaper and starts waybar and nwg-dock-hyprland. So it's essential.

Is this going to be for 25.05?

Yes. That’s the plan.

I just copied all packages from the flake.nix into my nixos/configuration.nix and installed the dofiles with the flatpak app. Seems to be working so far, waypaper also worked.

I found that its also necessary to add

services.gvfs.enable = true;

and the package

polkit
hyprpolkitagent

and add

exec-once = systemctl --user start hyprpolkitagent
like here https://wiki.hypr.land/Hypr-Ecosystem/hyprpolkitagent/

I think another agent would do too, but without I could not use nautilus properly.

I also noticed that the colors scheme is not calculated when changing the wallpaper, I just copied the kitty files from my laptop.

Idk if this helps, this is the first time trying nixos after always using manjaro, hopefully I could help :D

It also seems like the notifications toggle icon might not be part of the fonts that were in the flake.nix

Is this still being worked on?
