This configuration fits my needs and I intend to update it as I need it. My objective with this config is to store in this repo all my hosts configurations plus some packages that are not in nixpkgs and templates for all my programming use cases

hosts

hosts are named thematically after the stormlight archive radiant orders according to their use

Host	Description	Arch
stoneward	Intel + NVIDIA desktop, for programming and gaming	x86_64-linux
windrunner	AMD uni laptop	x86_64-linux

I'm currently using the hyprland wayland compositor using my own bar made with quickshell that I want to upgrade until it satisfies all my desktop shell necesities. I use matugen to generate from the current selected wallpaper the colors schemes used in most of the software I use (not the terminal nor vscode)

special thanks to

Thanks to these people from whom I learned and sometimes stole nix and quickshell, and I got inspiration for desktop shell designs
