# KaitoianOS > Fully customizable container-based operating system based on ```NixOS``` running SwayDE. ## What even is this Config? 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://youwen5.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. ## What Basic Utilites do you have on here? - Firefox Developer Edition - Spotify (Spicetify) - Stylix - Media Keys Support and extra bindings - Sophisticated Connectivity (Blueman, NMTUI, Tetris) ## Hosts ### Shiroko - *Named after a Character from [*Blue Archive*](https://schaledb.com/student/shiroko) MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo > Intel i5 1155G7 @ 4.5GhZ > 16 GB LPDDR5 > 256 GB Samsung Evo 970 SSD ROG (ASUS) Flow X13 2022 > AMD R9 5900HS @ 5.1GhZ > Nvidia RTX3050Ti Mobile + 4GB GDDR6 > 16 GB LPDDR4 > 1TB Crucial (Allocated 128 for NixOS)
