### Philosophy
|
|
|
|
|
I try to use Home Manager as little as possible. When I first started with NixOS I found
|
|
|
|
|
it distracting and confusing. NixOS already handles system wide and user packages, so having
|
|
|
|
|
another user level package management method was baffling. Obviously I understand now how
|
|
|
|
|
it can be useful (so I do use it). But where possible I will instead use the functionality
|
|
|
|
|
of Nix rather than Home Manager.

###### Structuring Modules
|
|
|
|
|
Modules are organised into groups (ie "Core"), from here a module is structured as either:
|
|
|
|
|
1. a single `.nix` file (ie bluetooth.nix). I do this when I won't implement an alternative
|
|
|
|
|
2. a directory (ie `sound`) containing a set of alternative implementations and a `default.nix`
|
|
|
|
|
that simply imports one of the implementations. For the `sound` example I currently have it structured
|
|
|
|
|
to default to `pipewire.nix`. I haven't made alternatives yet but the idea is that it is HIGHLY likely
|
|
|
|
|
I do in future.

### TODO
|
|
|
|
|
There are a lot of `TODO` items in this repository. To improve these dotfiles
|
|
|
|
|
I should run a command to find files containing "TODO" and then implement the
|
|
|
|
|
recommendation I left behind :)

##### Small Explanation of Fonts
|
|
|
|
|
There are four types of fonts (to my knowledge at least):
|
|
|
|
|
1. serif (funny squigles / small elegant strokes included)
|
|
|
|
|
2. sans-serif (meaning "without serifs")
|
|
|
|
|
3. monospace (all glyphs are of a uniform size)
|
|
|
|
|
4. emoji (cute lil faces)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fun fact: on Android, the emojis you are seeing are part of the noto-emoji font :)
|

|
The simplicity of their layout is amazing, was really good to pick out small modules and learn how something works / is configured.
