    I’ve found it most helpful to review other people’s configurations to learn Nix.

    Some specific ones I really like:

    https://github.com/malob/nixpkgs

    https://github.com/fufexan/dotfiles

    I keep a not comprehensive GitHub Stars list of Nix stuff I find here if you want more:

    https://github.com/stars/heywoodlh/lists/nix

    If you aren’t familiar, Nix-Darwin allows you to codify your MacOS deployments in a fashion comparable to NixOS. As a huge Nix-Darwin user myself, I have found malob’s repo extremely helpful for ideas with MacOS configuration. Nix-Darwin has made me so happy as a MacOS user. :)

    Some other unsolicited tips:

    1. Start with Nix flakes for configuration

    2. Invest in Home-Manager before NixOS or Nix-Darwin

    3. Ask people for help in Matrix or Discourse — my experience is that Nix-related folk are very welcoming and understanding

    Good luck!

  • Hyprland Crash Course

    My work on AGS, so far, has been mostly focused on adding support for additional features that weren't available before. I implemented the possibility to write your own PolKit agent in AGS and have just recently gotten secure session locking via the ext-session-lock-v1 Wayland protocol working. I still need to clean up the code and send PRs upstream, though.

    That said, my config is available on GitHub [0]. If you want to see much more complete setups, you should check out the configurations by Aylur (creator of AGS) [1], kotontrion [2], or end_4 [3]. I'm sure there are lots more that are notable, but these immediately came to mind.

    I am new to hyprland and want to learn to customize. Before making my own, I wanted to look and install other's configs to learn how they. So I found this dots git.

    > What made you choose hyprland over sway?

    The number of people talking about how great it was, while it's much more recent that sway.

    Eyecandy is important to, so is flexibility: check https://github.com/end-4/dots-hyprland and you'll see very different styles made from the same hyprland that I use in "each window is fullscreen" mode.

    But to stay with a desktop, you've got to integrate it to your workflow.

    I'm afraid you will need osu!supporter for that >! It's in the original post's image (blog post link in my reply) if you didn't notice, may check each branch for correct version, since it seems to include multiple rices !<
