NixOS: A developer workstation setup

Work in progress

This post is a placeholder — full content coming soon.

The plan is to walk through setting up NixOS as a daily-driver developer workstation: from installation to a fully declarative, reproducible system configuration.

Topics to cover:

• Why NixOS (and why it’s worth the learning curve)
• Partitioning and installation
• The basics of configuration.nix
• Home Manager for dotfiles and user-level packages
• Flakes: pinning inputs and building reproducible environments
• Sway / Wayland compositor setup
• Lessons learned and rough edges
