# NixOS & Home-Manager Configuration
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
My [NixOS](https://nixos.org/) and [Home-Manager](https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager) config files.
|
||
|
|
Based upon [Misterio77's starter configs](https://github.com/Misterio77/nix-starter-configs).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
My other configs:
|
||
|
|
* [neovim](https://github.com/sajenim/neovim-jsm)
|
||
|
|
* [xmonad](https://github.com/sajenim/xmonad-jsm)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Alternatively [jade](https://github.com/sajenim/jade) provides the plumbing for a desktop environment like experience.
|
||
|
|
To be used as a simple home-manager import.

## FAQ
|
||
|
|
* **What is nix?**
|
||
|
|
Nix is a tool that takes a unique approach to package management and system configuration.
|
||
|
|
* **Nix benefits**
|
||
|
|
Nix is reproducible, declarative and reliable.
|
||
|
|
* **Why flakes?**
|
||
|
|
Flakes allow you to specify your code's dependencies (e.g. remote Git repositories) in a declarative way,
|
||
|
|
simply by listing them inside a flake.nix file.
