mynixos

A NixOS-based distribution. Defaults that work, mkDefault so you always win.

Status

This is my personal NixOS configuration that I use daily on:

• AMD Ryzen desktop (Gigabyte X870E)
• Intel/NVIDIA laptop (Lenovo Legion 16IRX8H)

It works well for me, but it's only tested on my hardware.

Why

Instead of copying similar configuration across machines, mynixos provides a my.* module API:

# Enable what you need
my.users.alice = {
  graphical.enable = true;   # Desktop environment
  dev.enable = true;         # Development tools
  terminal.enable = true;    # CLI tools
  ai.enable = true;          # Ollama, etc.
};

# Override any default
my.users.alice.environment.BROWSER = pkgs.firefox;

Quick Start

1. Create Your Flake

# /etc/nixos/flake.nix
{
  inputs.mynixos.url = "github:i-am-logger/mynixos";

  outputs = { mynixos, ... }: {
    nixosConfigurations.myhost = mynixos.lib.mkSystem {
      my = {
        system = {
          enable = true;
          hostname = "myhost";
        };

        users.alice = {
          fullName = "Alice";
          email = "alice@example.com";
          graphical.enable = true;
          dev.enable = true;
          terminal.enable = true;
        };
      };
    };
  };
}

2. Build

nixos-rebuild switch --flake /etc/nixos#myhost

3. Override Defaults

users.alice = {
  environment.BROWSER = pkgs.firefox;
  environment.TERMINAL = pkgs.kitty;
  terminal.multiplexer = "tmux";
  graphical.webapps.slack.enable = false;
};
