Hear me out, an #orgmode literate configuration for #NixOS.

@dekkzz76 I use the nix-mode and it looks like it provides it? I am not sure but it works.

@adham I've been doing this with flakes. For a while I was doing import-from-derivation from a minimal starting point, and now I check in my tangled files. Still... yes, org and nix are a good fit!

@adham I try to start first steps with NixOS on a machine I don't need on a daily basis. It's a hell of a transition phase including re-writing many shell-scripts that contain hard paths to tools and so forth. If this turns out to be a viable option, I may be all-in for literate NixOS config with orgmode.

@publicvoit It was one hell of a transition, I don't have many shell-scripts so I don't know about this. I'll do a write-up about this after I finish college next week, until then it's all WIP, I'll let you know when I post anything about it!The relief of knowing that I don't need to install every single program on every new machine or the ability to switch DEs and WMs so easily are amazing with NixOS.

@adham As I once wrote: I do seem to be there but I don't enjoy going there. #NixOS

@adham I did this for a while. Decided to change because I'm not good at the literate part of literate programming I think. But it worked well.

@adham@publicvoit A little late but still:You can use speciallisations for different DE/WMs so they dont get in each others way. So you can just chose which DE/WM you want to use while booting and dont have to rebuild every time.

@landel @publicvoit I don't know about this, any guides/examples that you can provide? sounds interesting!

@adham there's a org-babel-post-tangle-hook, so you could actually try to have something along the lines of nixos-rebuild on tangle for files that match configuration.nix as a pattern or something like that^^
