Credits

Special thanks to the amazing people who made this configuration possible:

  • gvolpe - For helping me dive into the Nix ecosystem. His configuration was the first I used and modified to create my own, serving as my gateway into the world of declarative system management.

  • anotherhadi - For the beautiful foundation that became this configuration. His config provided the elegant base that I've built upon and customized.

This project stands on the shoulders of these contributors and the broader NixOS community. 🙏
