nixcfg
My nix configuration(s), using flakes. It's my laptop, it's my servers, it's my everything, in code. (by MatthewCroughan)

cant compile sxiv
The "right" way to maintain local patch queues is to create an overlay an install via Nix. You an see an example of a dwm binary i build with quite a few patches here: https://github.com/bbenne10/nix

Questions: Does nix install packages to the home folder? How are application settings stored?
If i get around to it soon, ill update my git repo for my home-manager repo. Right now it is outdated and doesnt show off the home.files functionality. You can find it in its current state right here.

Take the Nix Pill
Go to https://nixos.org/ and come to your own conclusion. I've argued with hundreds of people about this, and I don't want to start again. Just have fun! For one thing, every machine I have is defined as infrastructure as code here, and it's reproducible https://github.com/matthewcroughan/nixcfg. That's impressive. If you don't think so, then you probably don't need Nix, and may not appreciate what it does. You can read the Nix Thesis https://edolstra.github.io/pubs/phd-thesis.pdf if you want more of a technical understanding. I also recommend reading http://www.infrastructures.org/papers/turing/turing.html for a background on why reproducibility matters and congruency matters.

Do you all just git init inside your /etc/nixos directory?
In this example, nixcfg is my Nix code (therefore my whole configuration) from https://github.com/matthewcroughan/nixcfg
