As we all know Nix and Home-manager has two major functionalities:
|
||||
- Handling dependencies (i.e. package installation)
|
||||
- Handling dotfiles
|
||||
|
||||
They are discussed in following sections.

# Handling dependencies
|

## Status
|
||||
Partially works. See [Discussion #2382](https://github.com/end-4/dots-hyprland/discussions/2382).

- [ ] Since Nix uses a large number of inodes, need to warn user if inode-limited filesystem (typically ext4) is used.

|
||||
- One problem is that Debian(-based) distros use modified version of PAM which supports `@include` directive in `/etc/pam.d` config files but the PAM from Nix does not support it, see [this comment](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/128523#issuecomment-1086106614).
|
||||
- Another problem is the location of a suid helper binary that is necessary, see [this comment](https://github.com/end-4/dots-hyprland/issues/1061#issuecomment-3403195230).
|

The problem could be solved by using the system-provided libpam instead.

As [commented](https://github.com/end-4/dots-hyprland/issues/1061#issuecomment-3403195230) by @Cu3PO42 , both the problem could be solved by using the system-provided libpam instead.

### NixGL
|
||||
On non-NixOS distros, packages installed via home-manager have problem accessing GPU, especially Hyprland because it requires GPU acceleration to launch. `nixGL` should be used to address the problem.

# Handling dot files
|
||||
## Status
|
||||
Paused, until some suitable method has been confirmed to meet the requirements below.
|
||||
## Requirements
|
||||
About handling the dotfiles, i.e. `dots/`, if we are doing this using Nix then the following requirements must be fulfilled.
|
||||
|
||||
**1. Allow modifications over the existing dotfiles.**
|
||||
|
||||
Current state of `./setup install`:
|
||||
- After finishing running `./setup install`, users can modify any dotfiles in a traditional way, and if they run `./setup install` again to update then they need to skip the steps which overwrite the targets that they have modified and later sync the upgrade manually for such targets by themselves.
|
||||
- For Hyprland, specially we have a `custom` folder along with `~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf` which will only get overwritten the first time but not the later times running `./setup install`.
|
||||
- This works but is not elegant. An experimental solution is using yaml config to store the selected behavior for each target, see [#2137](https://github.com/end-4/dots-hyprland/issues/2137).
|
||||
|
||||
If we use Nix to handle dotfiles, then it must be at least better than the current state described above, mainly in terms of convenience and automation.
|
||||
|
||||
**2. Allow choosing targets.**
|
||||
|
||||
This is similar to the above. For example user may want to use their own `~/.config/foot` instead of the files under `dots/.config/foot` entirely.
|
||||
|
||||
**3. Easy developing dotfiles or at least not worse than current state.**
|
||||
|
||||
About the current state:
|
||||
- @clsty: "If I were the one who develops the dotfiles, I will make changes to the local Git repo `dots-hyprland` and rerun `./setup install-files -f` to apply the changes to observe the outcome."
|
||||
- @end-4 (who develops the dots; see [comment](https://github.com/end-4/dots-hyprland/pull/2278#issuecomment-3454929577)): "I modify my local copy of stuff, copy the relevant parts over, optionally selectively pick changes then commit. It's.... the most obvious way but I guess not necessarily the cleanest"
|
||||
|
||||
If we use Nix to handle dotfiles, then it must be at least better than the current state described above, mainly in terms of convenience and automation.
|
||||
|
||||
**4. Others**

|
||||
> About home-manager, from my limited understanding of and experience with it, any change to the config files require a rebuild right? If this is indeed the case, switching entirely to this is not okay. Having to wait 20 seconds for each change is absurd.
|
||||
|
||||
Some information may help, e.g. @darsh032 [commented](https://github.com/end-4/dots-hyprland/issues/1061#issuecomment-3336839862):

||||
|
||||
