My NixOS Flake

Tip

My flake is written using my Cerulean project. Hopefully it can serve as a decent example of my vision with the Cerulean + Snowflake projects.

Philosophy

[!TODO] My philosophy has kinda changed since the beginning

Explaining my Vision with r/unixporn posts

I want the side panel from https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/comments/12wpvyf/hyprland_eww_is_all_i_need/ but not the colour scheme and I'm 50/50 on the bar being on th eleft side lol. Also I love the volume bar on the right!

https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/comments/12uy6q6/hyprland_first_time_trying_a_wm_ended_up/ I love love love their rofi theme, everything else is eh (except the background switching is cool)

https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/comments/1avnfjn/hyprland_animations_theme_generation_settings/ I love their settings apps

https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/comments/u7vgej/desktop_endeavouros_gnome_42/ I like to imagine they have the ability to have nothing but apps on their screen (like a do not disturb / focus mode)

https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/comments/xkvmhy/hyprland_dreamy/ Their window decorations and bar are great, also being able to hide everything upwards is so cool

https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/comments/vkcasz/i3gaps_i_prefer_light_mode/ If their colour scheme was a little less white I'd love it but overall one of my favourites every
