 this is rae's nixOS config meow - **display manager**: SDDM - **window manager**: openbox - **status bar**: polybar # installation theoretically: ```sh nix-shell -p git just git clone https://git.sr.ht/~roxwize/.dotfiles cd .dotfiles/ nixos-install --flake './nixos#[hostname]' ``` from my experience the process is more involved, but it ultimately boils down to those three commands above (the first command is only for bootstrapping). youll need to make a configuration for your host which involves creating default configurations with `nixos-generate-config`, copying it to your host's folder in `nixos/hosts/[host]/`, editing it, and then adding it to `flake.nix`. after that you should clone the repo inside of `/home/rae/` on your filesystem # usage the system should boot into openbox and from there you'll have your statusbar and a lot of keybinds to learn x3 ## openbox hotkeys ``` Menus A-d Main menu A-question Application menu A-period ssh menu A-c Client (window) menu Window actions A-Return Iconify A-Up Raise A-Down Lower A-[hjkl] Move CA-x Close CA-f Fullscreen CA-m Maximize SA-Left Switch focus to previous window SA-Right Switch focus to previous window A-Tab Cycle focus to windows in all workspaces Workspace management A-Left Switch to previous workspace A-Right Switch to next workspace A-[123456] Switch to specific workspace Miscellaneous A-F12 Take screenshot CA-Return Open terminal (kitty) CAS-r Restart ``` or: **Alt+Left click** and drag over a window to move it<br> **Alt+Right click** and drag over a window to resize it<br> **Ctrl+Right click** on titlebar to open its window's menu<br> **Alt+C** over a window to do the same thing **Double click titlebar** to maximize its window completely<br> **Left click maximize button** to maximize completely<br> **Middle click maximize button** to maximize vertically<br> **Right click maximize button** to maximize horizontally **Right click** on desktop to open menu<br> **Alt+Right click** over a window to do the same thing<br> **Alt+D** to open the application launcher **Alt+Left arrow** to go to the previous desktop<br> **Alt+Right arrow** to go to the next desktop<br> **Alt+[1-6]** to go to a specific desktop<br> **Alt+Shift+Left arrow** to go to the previous desktop window<br> **Alt+Shift+Right arrow** to go to the next desktop window<br> **Alt+Tab** to cycle windows in all desktops # (history) here is the very first finalized version of this config that was originally tested on a qemu vm. it took 14 hours to set up. after running it on the machine itself and switching over to the configuration in its entirety i realized that it was complete and utter HORSESHIT. making things look nice again took another like four hours.
