That’s a good shout!

Although there was already a submission for this particular repo to nixpkgs, but I presume it has still not reached stable.

Awesome advice, thanks again :)

Random question - my current setup is all done through configuration.nix. Do you think it would be wise at this stage to pivot to learning about flakes and using them instead (as the other comments have suggested, flakes appear to be the way to go), prior to introducing more complexity on my system (installing chameleon, etc)?

Thank you deeply for such a thorough answer! If I make any discoveries that aren’t documented I will definitely try to contribute to the wiki.

That’s very helpful, I’ll take a look. Thank you!

I’m enjoying the aspect of nixos insofar as it “forcing” me to understand what’s actually going on a bit more than other distros. I decided to basically take off the training wheels and just installed a bare nixos install - no DM just a shell (which was a first for me too). I’m getting situated with hyprland (which, I’m led to understand is also a steep learning curve). Its a lot of fun but I’m doing a lot of head scratching.

Thanks, with this comment and the other comment about nix derivations I’m sure I can find some footing.

Federation is the process by which content and interactions are aggregated and shared between all instances

They’re definitely not interchangeable words.

Incidentally I can’t load the link you shared, it takes me to a blank homepage for some instance
