System contains all needed settings for a functional system.

User-specific hardware options are automatically configured.

User-specific configurable options:

 <user> = mkSystem <bool>          toggle TLP
                   <bool>          toggle printing capabilities
                   <bool>          toggle latest kernel

Special Thanks

• JRMurr's NixOS Configuration

• Matthias' NixOS Configuration

  • These two NixOS configurations helped lay the groundwork for my own, this likely wouldn't have been possible without them!

• Purga

  • Allows for CLI arguments to be passed to the flake. This allows for necessary user-specific CPU/GPU configuration options, as well as the loading of necessary kernel modules. It is used every time the update and check commands are invoked. The implementation can be found in System/Configuration/General.

• FireFox Theme
