Installation

Operating System

I’m using NixOS to manage most of my stuff. There are other configurations stored within here as well.

Setup

# Clone folder into .config directory
git clone https://github.com/aliyss/dotfiles temp
mkdir -p ~/.config
mv -v temp/* ~/.config

# Only use the following if you're aliyss
mv -v temp/.git ~/.config/.git
mv -v temp/.gitignore ~/.config/.gitignore

# Cleanup
rm -rf temp

Install

# Update System
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake ~/.config/flake#aliyss-bequitta

# Update Home
home-manager switch --flake ~/.config/flake#aliyss

Configuration

Flake

Configuration (System): configuration.nix Configuration (Home): home.nix

Updating System

update-system

Updating Home

update-home

Hyprland

Configuration: hyprland.conf

Using Hyprland because it just does most of what I like and the Animations are just perfect.

Important Keybindings

• SUPER-RET Terminal (foot)
• SUPER-C Browser (firefox)
• SUPER-E Editor (emacs)

Foot

Configuration: foot.ini

Foot has some good transparency. I tried other Terminals like Alacritty and Kitty, but they are not quite my cup of tea.

Styling

Styling is mostly ok, since most of it is managed via ZSH. Just added the bit of transparency.

ZSH

Configuration: zsh.nix

Styling

Need to add additional styling for what information to hide and what to show. Since some information can be offloaded to tmux.

Tmux

Configuration: tmux.nix

Styling

Need to add additional styling for bars, so I can differentiate between the current and the ssh terminal.

Ressurect & Continuum

Need to configure Ressurect & Continuum, so I can restart from where I left off.

Emacs

Configuration: config.org

I switched from NeoVim to Emacs. No regrets. Stuck in the same configuration hell.

Installation

Configure Org-Gcal

1. Make sure you are using GnuPG 2.4.0 since 2.4.1 has issues.
2. Create Configuration Files:
   • ~/.config/emacs/.local/org-gcal/org-gcal-client-id
   • ~/.config/emacs/.local/org-gcal/org-gcal-client-secret
3. Fill data after following the Org-Gcal Installation.

Install LSP Modes

Install the lsp-servers you need with M-x lsp-server-install.

Spotify

Configuration: spicetify.nix

Styling

Activated Style: text

Need to style it so it has the same background like all the other applications.

Tridactyl

Configuration (CSS): aliyss.css

Installation

Run following command in Tridactyl:

:colourscheme --url https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aliyss/dotfiles/master/tridactyl/aliyss.css aliyss

Styling

Need to add additional styling for Tridactyl and somehow export the configuration so I can load off that again.

Other

Keyboard Layout

Configuration (ga): ga

Keyboard Layout is a custom layout I designed. It’s based on Colemak DHM, but follows the CH (Swiss) Keyboard Layout closely. Special Characters stay the same.
