Hi, 
Just like we have editor (neovim/spacemacs) pre-configured distributions where newbies only have to download and uncomment a line to enable awesome community-maintained configurations, I started a project in that very same spirit for NixOS, the idea is to help NixOS adoption by lowering the how-do-i-configure-my-nixos barrier of entry for new NixOS users by doing exactly what the editor-configuration-distributions have been doing well: provide “layers” of blessed configurations.
Dennix - A distribution of dendritic nix configurations
By following the dendritic pattern, enabling a “dennix layer” (a collection of flake-parts modules), the system will configure all pertaining nix-module classes nixos/nix-darwin/home-manager where the feature must be configured to work seamlessly.
My goal is for dennix to provide “layers” - using the spacemacs speak- of specialized NixOS/nix-darwin configurations that people could mix and choose from: NixOS for Gaming, NixOS for Local AI Development, NixOS for SecOps/DevOps, but also things like Desktop Rices, ready to use devshells, etc.
Currently the repo is just bare bones and mostly a readme and few structure files, but I’ll be moving basic generic configs from my vix repo. I hope other people already using the dendritic pattern (cc @drupol @mightyiam @quasigod) will find a motivation for we to have common, shareable configurations in dennix so that we can help nixos-adoption and we ourselves can mixin those configs into our particular infra.
Cheers
