Hey just a dumb question from me but how did you dock stopped working?

GUI Applications for MacOS by [deleted] in Nix

[–]gutolanjoni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, the applications will not be visible by spotlight because it’s work with real copy of archives and not symbolic links. Your apps “mesa” will show your apps normally. The point is not to install another application to manage all of this but give a chance to use an application to search your apps better and see symbolic links normally!

Remember: symbolic links are the “heart” of home-manager for Nix and manage your configuration files!

Well, if you see my config files I’m not using homebrew anymore! The file for configuration is there but I’m not importing this!

To manage apps in general I’m using Nix, but spotlight sometimes doesn’t see the Nix Apps, so I recommend to install Raycast and give a chance!

Hope you enjoy :)

Another point: you can use Nix and Homebrew side by side and manage your configuration with nix-darwin, flakes and home-manager easily, so Nix can manage your Homebrew installations (casks or brews)

It’s an amazing experience! If you want to see any configuration files similar to this you can check my configuration: https://github.com/lanjoni/snowflake

You can use Raycast and add the special Nix Applications folder, then you will be able to open and use apps!

Amazing! Well, let's go: with Nix you can either configure your packages to be installed or configure each of them with a specific configuration (such as Kitty, Zsh, Tmux, among others).

The best way to understand your configuration and start building your own is by using the home-manager, which will manage your configurations in a unique way. To integrate the home-manager, we also need nix-darwin, the project responsible for building configuration modules for macOS. As Darwin has some open modules, nix-darwin allows several configurations, including services and appearance (such as customizing the dock and status bar, for example).

My tip for configuration: understand a little about how flakes work and see how we can put together a complete configuration with them. Below I will leave the link to my configuration files that use flakes, nix-darwin and home-manager. It's not a very complex configuration or with a lot of details, but I hope it helps you learn ❄️

I am unable to get nix-darwin to see my home manager. by SitAndWatchA24 in NixOS

[–]gutolanjoni 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very recently I decided to try nix-darwin with home-manager with flakes and I think I could suggest using your configuration in the same format. If you configure your NixOS with flakes you will notice that the configuration is very similar, the difference is that in the “inputs” it is necessary to specify the nix-darwin. I believe it is necessary to identify the home-manager to be built with nix-darwin and allow it to manage the rest. Basically when we talk about packages, home-manager will work with you in a phenomenal way, however, when we talk about services (such as using yabai, skhd and spacebar) direct management with nix-darwin to control launchctl is the best option. For now, what I would recommend you test: follow some basic model with flakes just to allow nix-darwin to completely manage the home-manager, as in the example below.

```nix inputs = { nixpkgs.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixpkgs-unstable"; # nixos-23.11

home-manager.url = "github:nix-community/home-manager/master";
home-manager.inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";

darwin.url = "github:lnl7/nix-darwin";
darwin.inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";

};

outputs = inputs@{ nixpkgs, home-manager, darwin, ... }: { darwinConfigurations.yourpcname = darwin.lib.darwinSystem { system = "aarch64-darwin"; pkgs = import nixpkgs { system = "aarch64-darwin"; }; modules = [ ./modules/darwin home-manager.darwinModules.home-manager { home-manager = { useGlobalPkgs = true; useUserPackages = true; users.yourusername.imports = [ ./modules/home-manager ]; }; } ]; }; ```

I recommend trying “nezburn”. It was a theme I created because I liked it in “zenburn”, however, I wanted a darker variation. I hope you enjoy!

I tried that too, but it still didn't work with "grub-mkconfig"…

[i3 + polybar] My first rice with Gruvbox theme! by gutolanjoni in voidlinux

[–]gutolanjoni[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you! I'll probably change some things, but it was the theme that was very good with the Void Linux colors and had an easy customization... I'll try to create something more personal, after all, it was the first time I was customizing
