Make the whole workstation menu available, all off/commented by default.
home.nix: the bare GUI apps become a categorized commented menu (~50
suggestions across browsers, comms, office, notes, code, graphics, A/V,
media, gaming, files/sync, security, system, local AI) — uncomment to add.
services.nix: the members that need system config (not just a package)
become opt-in nomarchy.services.* toggles, each with a commented example
in the downstream system.nix:
- docker → rootful Docker + user in docker group; asserts against the
podman docker-compat (both provide the `docker` command)
- kdeconnect → programs.kdeconnect (opens phone-pairing ports)
- gamemode → Feral GameMode daemon
- adb → android-tools (programs.adb was removed; systemd ≥258 does
the device uaccess udev rules, so no group needed)
- wireshark → Qt GUI + user in wireshark group (capture without root)
- ollama → local LLM runtime on 127.0.0.1:11434
- printing → CUPS + Avahi/mDNS network printer discovery
README option table and ROADMAP (services item now "Fifteen shipped";
local-AI / containers / gaming / devices areas marked) updated. All seven
branches eval-verified with the toggles forced on; the docker/podman
assertion confirmed firing.

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.
