Downstream users now own only system.nix and home.nix; their flake.nix is generated once from the template and never hand-edited. mkFlake (lib.nix) wires both layers and maps hardwareProfile = "<name>" to nixos-hardware modules (new input, pinned here, nixpkgs follows ours; unknown names fail with did-you-mean suggestions). Flake checks evaluate the template through mkFlake — including a real profile — so drift fails `nix flake check`. Also from the live-VM testing session: install the home-manager CLI in the live ISO and pin flake inputs transitively (offline theme switching needs stylix's own inputs too), plus swww→awww doc updates.

My Nomarchy machine
- Overwrite the placeholder hardware config with the real one:
nixos-generate-config --show-hardware-config > hardware-configuration.nix - Set
flake.nixup once (Nomarchy repo URL, your username, optionally ahardwareProfilefrom https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware — an unknown name fails the rebuild with suggestions). After that the flake is never touched again: your machine lives insystem.nix(hostname, services — the login user is created fromusernameautomatically) andhome.nix(your packages). git init && git add -A— flakes only see tracked files, includingtheme-state.json.- System:
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#default - Desktop:
nix run home-manager -- switch --flake .#me(afterwards justhome-manager switch --flake .#me— it's installed) - Clone/symlink this directory to
~/.nomarchy(or exportNOMARCHY_PATH) sonomarchy-theme-syncknows where the state lives.
Day-to-day:
nomarchy-theme-sync list # 21 shipped presets
nomarchy-theme-sync apply gruvbox # writes state + home-manager switch
nomarchy-theme-sync bg next # cycle wallpapers (instant, no rebuild)
The system layer only needs nixos-rebuild when you change system.nix.
