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 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)
