NixOS provides good support for the Xfce desktop environment out-of-the-box, but the defaults are minimal. The files in this Gist provide a more complete experience, including a suite of basic software and plugins as well as an optional home-manager
configuration for theming.
The key additions to the default Xfce provided by NixOS are:
- Complete bluetooth / audio support with panel indicators and apps
- LightDM with theme
- Extra Xfce apps for calendaring, disk partitioning, etc.
- Various quality-of-life improving non-essentials
You are welcome. Thanks for adding the non-Home Manager setup.
Quick note on the video: you can just do the normal GNOME or KDE GUI easy install and then edit your configuration from there. You install Nix, change config,
nixos rebuild-switch
see if you like it, and repeat iteratively. The old stuff will get removed. The hardware file is generated automatically for your machine, you should leave it alone. Have fun with NixOS!
