This is absolutely gorgeous! How would one go about cloning this onto their system? I have been using NixOS for a bit now but have not messed with home-manager or flakes yet. Is it possible to just clone all your files and redeploy? Any articles or videos explaining the process to clone your setup? Thanks in advance!

In order to figure out, what's Nix, how to use flakes and home manager, I'd recommend watching LibrePhoenix. It's absolutely fantastic guides. His repo with Nix config is also great, it's the one, which I'm gonna take as a reference

Thank you very much for the recommendation! I will start learning and await your updates on this project!

Please, give me some time, the repo is messy as hell now. If I were you, I would not do that now. I'm going to refactor the code, make it more modular in order to allow several WMs and themes. I'm also gonna introduce instructions for installing all of this)

However, the best way to enjoy system you use is configuring everything yourself, though it requires some time. In the past, when I copied configurations from unixporn posts, I always ended with dropping them and reconfiguring everything, as I like it)

Holy crap I can't believe you modified the README so fast. Thank you so much for the extra detail and clarity, your contributions to the community are invaluable.

The code have not been refactored yet! README is not correct now. I'll let you know, when everything is ready)
