The nix branding is really good. The logo but the name also.
For whatever reason, when I see unixporn like this, it makes me want to redo my system but also try unify my rice across my main desktop and laptop. I seriously need to look into getting my dot files sorted.
Edit: Updated the comment to be clearer.
I was like that five years ago. If you have the energy, I would say go for it. Explore all the different ways you can work, with tiling window managers, shortcuts and different apps to get notifications and other things. It's a lot of fun.
Go into the nvim universe for a while too. I was there and wrote my own config and my own plugins, was fun.
I mean, why not.. :) What else is fun at a computer...
I installed waybar the other day and the default look si outdated. If I wouldn't know that there's something loke your setup I'd think it's bad
I agree that its default look is ugly, but almost everyone configures it anyway.
But, on the other hand, if the defaults were prettier, situation could be different...
If yours were default many if not most wouldn't change it much
Is the config for the waybar in your screenshot posted anywhere?
Here: https://pastebin.com/yfKukuBk
It's a home manager .nix file, but it shouldn't be a problem to transform it to standard waybar config file
Do you use a smaller kernel build? How do you get 880mb of ram usage? The lowest i can get is 990~1010mb with the graphics. In tty its 850~950mb. Not that it matters because i have 16gbs of ram but lower number better i guess?
Do you use a smaller kernel build?
No, I use whatever NixOS uses by default
Could you share your nix config?? I want to have this setup with none of the work because I'm a noob. Thank you for your time
Hmm interesting
I was getting the same resourve usage on NixOS as well. I think I was get to more on Arch and I'm getting more on Fedora too. I think it has something to do with NixOS' packaging being quite well-optimised because you can just have better optimisiations by not having any useless services running (controlled via configuration.nix)
Thata why im asking. I also use nixos and i only have basic things in background like the portal, sound, etc
