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

# (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.
