Nomarchy

An opinionated NixOS configuration featuring Hyprland, designed for developers who want a beautiful, functional, and reproducible desktop environment.

Quick Start

For Existing NixOS Systems

nix run github:blu/nomarchy

This launches an interactive installer that:

1. Prompts for your username, timezone, keyboard layout, etc.
2. Generates a configuration in ~/.config/nomarchy/
3. Applies the configuration to your system

From ISO (Coming Soon)

Download the ISO from the releases page and boot from it for a fresh installation with LUKS encryption.

Features

• Hyprland - Modern Wayland compositor with smooth animations
• Waybar - Customizable status bar
• Rofi - Application launcher and quick actions
• SwayNC - Notification center
• Neovim - Fully configured with LSP support
• Classical Theme - Earthy, vintage aesthetic inspired by historical paintings
• Bootloader Choice - systemd-boot (default) or Limine (prettier, more features)
• Plymouth - Optional boot splash screen
• Secrets Management - Encrypted secrets with agenix (WiFi passwords, API keys, etc.)

Customization

Changing Theme

Edit ~/.config/nomarchy/config.nix:

{
  theme = "classical";  # Currently the only theme, more coming soon
}

Adding Packages

Create a custom module:

# ~/.config/nomarchy/my-packages.nix
{ pkgs, ... }: {
  environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
    my-package
  ];
}

Add it to your flake:

extraModules = [
  ./my-packages.nix
];

Wallpapers

Copy your wallpapers to ~/.config/nomarchy/wallpapers/ and they'll be used for the random rotation.

Secrets Management

Nomarchy uses agenix for encrypted secrets:

# Create a secret
cd ~/.config/nomarchy
agenix -e secrets/wifi-password.age

# Use in your config
age.secrets.wifi-password.file = ./secrets/wifi-password.age;

See docs/SECRETS.md for full documentation.

Security Note

The enableMitigationsOff option disables CPU vulnerability mitigations (Spectre, Meltdown, etc.) for improved performance. This is disabled by default and should only be enabled if you understand the security implications.
