My latest setup, where I attempt to use Nix without home-manager and with rc-shell.

Cool fact about this setup is that I have a custom setup for Kakoune for note-taking, where I can take notes in any file format by adding a [cf:tag] or [:tag]. If [cf:tag] is added to a file, if I mention that tag anywhere it will be highlighted and I can click on it (by help of alacritty hints) to got that specific file.

General info:

  • OS: Nix
  • Shell: rc
  • WM: sway
  • Applications: cat info.txt, tig, kakoune, custom bemenu, swaybar
  • Fonts: Iosevka SS13 Extended, Iosevka Aile

This is like a throwback to Motif, but actually looking nice. Kudos!

I’m currently fighting waybar to make it look similar to what you got. Do you happen to have config files to share?

Sure:

bar {
    position top
    mode dock
    strip_workspace_numbers yes
    gaps 5
    status_edge_padding 0
    # When the status_command prints a new line to stdout, swaybar updates.
    status_command while printf \"%s :: %s" \"$(date +'%H:%M')\" \"$(cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/capacity)%\"; do sleep 60; done 
    colors {
        statusline #f6f6f6
        background #272727
        inactive_workspace #272727 #272727 #f6f6f6
        focused_workspace  #f6f6f6 #f6f6f6 #272727
    }
}

Ngl the theme reminds me of some old x11 tiling window manager for some reason.
But still it's nice and simple

I'm a big fan of the TWM/plan9 look, so it makes sense. Thanks! :)
