NixOS Configuration Repository

This repository contains my personal NixOS configurations for multiple systems, managed using Snowfall Lib and the Nix Flakes system.

Overview

This repository provides a centralized, declarative configuration for all my systems, including:

• Desktop PC (AMD)
• NAS server
• Steam Deck
• Intel NUC
• Raspberry Pi 4
• Raspberry Pi 5
• MacBook Pro (NixOS on Apple Silicon)
• MacBook Pro (Darwin/macOS)
