Peter's Wayland Configuration

Reproducible Configuration

Thanks to Nix, nixpkgs, and home-manager this repository can reproduce a working Wayland desktop environment exactly as configured without having to tweak files by hand or in GUI settings tools.

The screenshot above was taken automatically by a non-interactive test running in an ephemeral virtual machine (nix flake check).

Details

• Compositor: SwayFX

• Status Bar: waybar

• Notifications: Sway Notification Center

• Screen Lock: swayidle and swaylock

• Wallpaper Daemon: wpaperd

• Monospace Font: Hermit

• Variable-spaced Font: Atkinson Hyperlegible

Try It Out

If you have Nix installed and configured with flake support you can run my configuration in a virtual machine:

nix run github:pjones/superkey

Use the key binding Super+Space to start rofi. Other key bindings can be found in home/sway/keys.nix.

This virtual machine is pretty bare-bones. If you want to start a virtual machine with this configuration plus my entire workstation configuration then take a look at my tilde project.
