nixos-dotfiles

Nix allows for easy-to-manage, collaborative, reproducible deployments. This means that once something is setup and configured once, it works (almost) forever. If someone else shares their configuration, anyone else can just use it (if you really understand what you're copying/refering now).

As for Flakes, refer to Introduction to Flakes - NixOS & Nix Flakes Book

This configuration uses flake-parts for better flake organization and modularity, enabling declarative host definitions and cleaner separation of concerns.
