Add system/modules/desktop.nix (counterpart to laptop.nix): imports the workstation base and uses wired NetworkManager instead of iwd. Thread a `portable` flag (default true) through mkHost into specialArgs and home-manager.extraSpecialArgs, mirroring username/fullName. lyrathorpe/home/ sway.nix consumes it to drop mobile components on desktop hosts: - status bar swaps the battery block for CPU temperature + network throughput - screen-brightness keybindings are omitted (no internal backlight) No host uses desktop.nix yet; a future desktop host imports it and sets `portable = false`. Verified by evaluating sway.nix both ways: laptop -> [.. sound battery time] + brightness keys; desktop -> [.. temperature net sound time], no brightness keys.

nixfiles
NixOS / nix-darwin / home-manager configuration for all hosts, built from a single flake.
Hosts
Defined in the host table in flake.nix:
| Configuration | System | Machine |
|---|---|---|
lyrathorpe-mbp |
aarch64-linux |
MacBook Pro (Apple Silicon, Asahi) |
lyrathorpe-x1c |
x86_64-linux |
ThinkPad X1 |
emmathorpe-edaas |
x86_64-linux |
Work WSL box (NixOS-WSL) |
lyrathorpe-mac |
aarch64-darwin |
macOS (nix-darwin) |
Shared layers: lyrathorpe/home (home-manager: shell, git, editor),
system/modules/common-nixos.nix (all NixOS hosts), and
system/modules/laptop.nix (the physical laptops).
Applying
# NixOS
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#<configuration>
# Darwin
darwin-rebuild switch --flake .#lyrathorpe-mac
MacBook (Asahi) firmware
The MBP host references system/modules/firmware/ for Apple peripheral
firmware (Wi-Fi/Bluetooth). Those blobs are not redistributable, so the
directory is gitignored and a clean checkout will not build lyrathorpe-mbp
until it is populated out-of-band.
Copy the firmware extracted during the Asahi install (from
/etc/nixos/firmware on the freshly-installed machine, or re-extract per the
Asahi NixOS docs) into
system/modules/firmware/ before rebuilding that host.
CI
.gitea/workflows/ci.yaml gates nixfmt
formatting and evaluates every NixOS and Darwin host configuration on push/PR.
