A curated collection of high‑quality, ready‑to‑use components for building your own NixOS configuration.
This setup includes a cohesive custom theme applied across KDE Plasma, SDDM, and Plymouth. You can easily personalize it by swapping in your own wallpapers.
It also provides a comprehensive development environment covering many programming languages, a wide range of preconfigured software, and several virtualization options.

I’ve tried to stick to KDE‑native (or at least Qt6‑native FOSS) applications unless there was a strong reason not to.
- GRUB bootloader
- Plymouth
- SDDM
- KDE Plasma (Qt6) desktop environment on Wayland
- Catppuccin colour palletes
- Wave terminal emulator
- Fish shell
- Helix CLI editor
- Zed GUI editor
- Virtualization: Podman for containers, WinBoat for Windows, Waydroid for Android, and Virt-manager & systemd-nspawn for everything else. These take almost no space until initialized (i.e., until you download the guest OSes).
- Local AI: Ollama, Jan AI, local Gemma and Qwen models, with integrations for Zed IDE and Wave Terminal.
- Development environment: Rust, Go, C, C++, JS, Python, R, OCaml, and even Prolog, plus a JuPyteR env with Python and R kernels and many data-science libs preinstalled. JetBrains IDEs include plugins out of the box.
- Pre-installed software for music, image, and video playing and editing, office work, and academic use. (see the full list here).
- systemd, networkd, resolved, pipewire, btrfs filesystem, glibc, core packages, default packages, LTS kernel, etc.
A clean installation uses roughly 100GiB of disk space (+10GiB for local LLMs).
- Flood is at localhost:3000
- Stirling PDF is at localhost:8080
- Jupyter Notebook is at localhost:8888
- v2rayA at localhost:2017
- noVNC (for QEMU Windows) is at localhost:8006 noVNC is mainly used for debugging and diagnostics. Windows apps are normally accessed through the WinBoat app.

Some light editing was done using KDE Krita and Google Gemini's Nano Banana.
