This is not purely written in Nix-Language. You should check ZaneyOS. Link below

Note

The Hyprland that is installed will be from the development branch, otherwise known as -git version

🪧🪧🪧 ANNOUNCEMENT 🪧🪧🪧

• This Repo does not contain Hyprland Dots or configs! Configs are NOT written in Nix. Hyprland Dotfiles will be downloaded from KooL's Hyprland-Dots.

• The Hyprland-Dots used are constantly evolving / improving. you can check CHANGELOGS here Hyprland-Dots-Changelogs

• GTK Themes and Icons will be pulled from LINK, including Bibata Cursor Modern Ice

• The wallpapers offered to be downloaded towards the end are from this REPO

Important

Take note of the requirements

👋 👋 👋 Requirements

• You must be running on NixOS.
• Minimum space required is 40gb. 60gb is recommended as NixOS is a space-hungry distro
• Must have installed NIXOS using GPT & UEFI. Systemd-boot is configured as the default bootloader, for GRUB users, you need to edit hosts/default/config.nix before installing
• Manually edit your host specific files. The host is the specific computer you're installing onto.

🖥️ Multi Host & User Configuration

• You can now define separate settings for different host machines and users!
• Easily specify extra packages for your users in the users.nix file.
• Easy to understand file structure and simple, but encompassing, configuration.

📦 How To Install Packages?

• You can search the Nix Packages & Options pages for what a package may be named or if it has options available that take care of configuration hurdles you may face.
• Then edit hosts/<your-hostname>/config.nix and/or hosts/<your-hostname>/user.nix . Config.nix is for system-wide changes / system packages, while changes made to user.nix are only available to the user(s).
• Once you are finished editing, run sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#<your-hostname> NOTE. omit < > and ensure you are in the directory where your flake.nix is. (For example: If you make the hostname nixos then your command should be sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#nixos)

🙋 Having Issues / Questions?

• Please feel free to raise an issue on the repo, please label a feature request with the title beginning with [feature request], thank you!
• If you have a question about KooL's Hyprland dots, see KooL's Dots WIKI. Contained within the wiki is an FAQ, along with other pages for tips, keybinds, and more!

⬇️ Installations

📽 Youtube video for using this script

• KooL's Hyprland Dots on NixOS

📜 1. Using auto install Script:

• This is the easiest and recommended way of starting out.
• This script is NOT meant to allow you to change every option that you can in the flake or help you install extra packages. It is simply here so you can get my configuration installed with as little chance of breakages and then it is up to you to fiddle with to your heart's content!
• Simply copy this and run it:

nix-shell -p git vim curl pciutils
sh <(curl -L https://github.com/JaKooLit/NixOS-Hyprland/raw/main/auto-install.sh)

Note

pciutils is necessary to detect if you have an Nvidia card.

🦽 2. Manual:

Click here 👉🏻 Manual Installation

• Run this command to ensure git, curl, vim & pciutils are installed: Note: or nano if you prefer nano for editing

nix-shell -p git vim curl pciutils

• Clone this repo & CD into it:

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/JaKooLit/NixOS-Hyprland.git ~/NixOS-Hyprland
cd ~/NixOS-Hyprland

• You should stay in this folder for the rest of the install
• Create the host folder for your machine(s)

cp -r hosts/default hosts/<your-desired-hostname>

• Edit as required the config.nix in hosts/<your-desired-hostname>/
• Generate your hardware.nix like so:

sudo nixos-generate-config --show-hardware-config > hosts/<your-desired-hostname>/hardware.nix

• Run this to enable flakes and install the flake replacing hostname with whatever you put as the hostname:

NIX_CONFIG="experimental-features = nix-command flakes" 
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#hostname

Once done, you can install the GTK Themes and Hyprland-Dots. Links are above

👉🏻 3. Alternative

• auto install by running ./install.sh after cloning and CD into NixOS-Hyprland

Note

install.sh is a stripped version of auto-install.sh as it will not re-download repo

• Run this command to ensure git, curl, vim & pciutils are installed: Note: or nano if you prefer nano for editing

nix-shell -p git curl pciutils

• Clone this repo into your home directory & CD into it:

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/JaKooLit/NixOS-Hyprland.git ~/NixOS-Hyprland
cd ~/NixOS-Hyprland

Important

need to download in your home folder as some part of the installer are going back again to ~/NixOS-Hyprland

• You should stay in this folder for the rest of the install
• edit hosts/default/config.nix to your liking. Once you are satisfied, ran ./install.sh

Now when you want to rebuild the configuration, you have access to an alias called flake-rebuild that will rebuild the flake!

Hope you enjoy! 🎉

💔 known issues 💔

• GTK themes, icons, and the cursor, are not applied automatically. gsettings does not seem to work.
• You can set GTK themes, icons, and the cursor, using nwg-look

🔙 Reverting back to your default configs

• If you use flakes, you can just simply locate your default or previous configs. CD into it and execute sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#<your-previous-flake-hostname>
• If you didn't have flakes enabled previously, simply running sudo nixos-rebuild switch will revert you to your default configs contained in /etc/nixos/
• ⚠️ just remember to clean up your nix/store to remove unnessary garbage from your system sudo nix-collect-garbage -d
• OR, simply just revert into a previous generation of your system by choosing which generation to boot via your bootloader.
