NixPresso

My personal NixOS configuration, managed entirely in Nix. It covers the full system: packages, services, shell, editor setup, and per-host tweaks, all declared, version-controlled, and reproducible.

The repo is the single source of truth for every machine I run. One rebuild applies everything. Nothing lives outside the config.

Managing packages and flakes in NixOS by hand gets verbose fast. Every new tool means hunting for the right attribute path, writing the derivation manually, and hoping the flake input resolves cleanly across machines.

I wanted my config to be the kind of thing I could hand to a fresh install and trust -- so I built NixStore, my own package manager layer on top of Nix, to make adding and managing packages and flakes straightforward.

I got tired of the gap between what NixOS promises (reproducible, declarative systems) and how painful it is to actually wrangle packages and flake inputs by hand.

NixStore is my answer to that -- a thin layer that makes the common operations simple without hiding what Nix is doing underneath. NixPresso is the configuration that runs on top of it.
