Bernardo Magri f211ef0d09 feat: Nomarchy ground-up rewrite on NixOS 26.05
Full replacement of the previous iteration, rebuilt around three ideas:

- Pure evaluation: theme-state.json lives inside the flake and is read
  via the nomarchy.stateFile option — no --impure, ever.
- All-Home-Manager theming: `nomarchy-theme-sync apply` writes the JSON
  and runs `home-manager switch`; every theme change is one atomic,
  rollbackable generation. Wallpaper (swww) is the sole runtime piece.
- Flat, downstream-first layout: modules/{nixos,home} with one
  options.nix each, exported as nixosModules/homeModules + overlay +
  flake template; system (nixos-rebuild) and desktop (home-manager
  switch) rebuild paths are fully split.

Ships 21 themes imported from the previous iteration (palettes,
wallpapers, btop themes, six whole-swap Waybar identities), Stylix for
the GTK/Qt/cursor long tail, a live ISO target with offline theme
switching, and docs/TESTING.md with the QEMU verification workflow.

My Nomarchy machine

  1. nixos-generate-config --show-hardware-config > hardware-configuration.nix
  2. Edit flake.nix (Nomarchy repo URL, username), system.nix (hostname, user), home.nix (your packages).
  3. git init && git add -A — flakes only see tracked files, including theme-state.json.
  4. System: sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#default
  5. Desktop: nix run home-manager -- switch --flake .#me (afterwards just home-manager switch --flake .#me — it's installed)
  6. Clone/symlink this directory to ~/.nomarchy (or export NOMARCHY_PATH) so nomarchy-theme-sync knows 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.
