I have a folder with some cool nixos configurations that i ripgrep through when im looking for inspiration on how to do things.
Anyone got recommendations for configs where people do cool stuff? Feel free to drop your configs as well, its just fun to look at other people's systems!

PS: I know this is generic, but i think im looking for answers of all kinds so that works
Also here is my config since im asking

This is the flake config I started from, but am now refactoring for multi-host support:

Simple and documented config templates to help you get started with NixOS + home-manager + flakes. All the boilerplate you need!

I first learned of NixOS through this project, but decided on writing my own config for starters.
Still, it has been a neat reference as an advance example:

My main NixOS configuration. Features include a polished Hyprland environment. A fully configured NeoVIM environment, QMK support. A Keyboard shortcut menu pop-down available in the top bar and so much more!

BTW, could you breakdown your hardware.nix configs?
They look a lot different from my auto generated one from the ISO install, particularly for fileSystems:

Love Misterio77's configs. Both this and his main config! I'll take a look at yours!

My hardware.nix uses disko, which is probably why its different. The pateC config isnt used anymore and im currently adding my other new machine, but im needing to rewrite some code, so the laptape hardware.nix is probably the better example.
Basically my actual formatting is in /disks/*
