Nomarchy

Nomarchy is a professional-grade NixOS-based distribution monorepo that replicates and enhances the Wayland workflow. It is built on a strictly declarative Nix Flake setup, providing a unified aesthetic and robust functionality while allowing users complete freedom to customize their environment.

🚀 Key Features

Purely Declarative: Everything from system themes and fonts to wallpapers is managed via Nix.
Intelligent Hardware Detection: The installer automatically identifies your hardware (CPU vendor, specific laptop models like XPS, Framework, T2 Mac) and applies optimized nixos-hardware profiles.
Modular Downstream Architecture: Your personal customizations live in separate files (system.nix, home.nix), keeping the core "Nomarchy engine" clean and easily updatable.
Robust Scripting: 150+ utility scripts are bundled with explicitly wrapped dependencies, ensuring they work regardless of your global system state.
Dynamic Theming: Seamlessly switch between 20+ Base16 themes using nomarchy-theme-selector with automatic wallpaper and font synchronization.
CI/CD Ready: Automated ISO building via GitHub Actions ensures a verified installer is always available.

📦 Installation

1. Build the Installer ISO

You can build the ISO locally using the provided script:

./bin/nomarchy-build-iso

Alternatively, download the latest ISO from the "Actions" tab in this repository.

2. Run the Installer

Once booted into the Live ISO, run the interactive installer:

/etc/install-nomarchy.sh

The installer will guide you through hardware detection, disk partitioning (Ext4 or Encrypted BTRFS), and user setup.

🛠️ Customization (Downstream)

After installation, your configuration is located in /etc/nixos/. To customize your system without interfering with Nomarchy core:

System-level: Add NixOS modules or extra packages to /etc/nixos/system.nix.
User-level: Add Home Manager modules or dotfiles to /etc/nixos/home.nix.

To apply changes:

nomarchy-update

🔄 Updating

To pull the latest Nomarchy improvements and update your system:

This script will update flake inputs, rebuild your NixOS system, and switch your Home Manager environment.
