# KaitoianOS
> Fully customizable container-based operating system based on ```NixOS``` running SwayDE.
## What even is this Config?
2024-12-21 01:17:24 -08:00
So I believe I have no life, so I migrated from a super unstable and limited OS (DOS) to FreeBSD, however FreeBSD had limited packages being maintained on **Fresh Ports** so I figured might as well become a Linux user. After distro hopping for 3 months I was introduced to NixOS by [Youwen](https://youwen.dev) claiming that it would solve my problems of having to configure everything on seperate directories, common on most distros such as Arch or Debian.

## Why Sway and Wayland
Wayland provides a more stable graphical enviornment due to the simplicity of the code and it's security; moreover, it peforms significantly better on intergrated and discrete graphics cards for most of my systems. Why Sway and not Hyprland? Sway is a simple port of the popular x11 DE known as i3. Hyprland has too much eyecandy for a DE, too much bells and whistles such as dynamic colors and rounded edges. Also removing eyecandy on my config makes my input smoother and crispier.
