Chaotic's Nyx

Nix flake for "too much bleeding-edge" and unreleased packages (e.g., mesa_git, linux_cachyos, firefox_nightly, sway_git, gamescope_git). And experimental modules (e.g., HDR, duckdns).

From the Chaotic Linux User Group (LUG), the same one that maintains Chaotic-AUR! 🧑🏻‍💻

This is a fork of Chaotic-Nyx. I use Garnix CI to provide binary cache for selected packages. See the documentation page for the list of cached packages and usage instructions.

I bump packages daily. However, I don't use many of the applications myself. If you encounter any issues, please open an issue and I'll try to fix them.

The official source-code repository is available as "chaotic-cx/nyx" at GitHub.

For issues related to this fork, please open an issue on this repository's issues page.

How to use it

On NixOS unstable

This tutorial does not apply for users using NixOS 24.11 and other stable channels. This tutorial is for unstable users.

We recommend integrating this repo using Flakes:


# flake.nix
{
  description = "My configuration";

  inputs = {
    nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
    nyx-loner.url = "github:lonerOrz/nyx-loner"; # IMPORTANT
  };

  outputs = { nixpkgs, nyx-loner, ... }: {
    nixosConfigurations = {
      hostname = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem { # Replace "hostname" with your system's hostname
        system = "x86_64-linux";
        modules = [
          ./configuration.nix
          nyx-loner.nixosModules.default # IMPORTANT
        ];
      };
    };
  };
}

In your configuration.nix enable the kernel you want:


# configuration.nix
{ pkgs, ... }:
{
  boot.kernelPackages = pkgs.linuxPackages_cachyos-lto;
  # or: pkgs.linuxPackages_cachyos-gcc
}

On NixOS stable

This tutorial is for NixOS stable versions (24.11, 25.05, etc.).

We recommend integrating this repo using Flakes:


# flake.nix
{
  description = "My configuration";

  inputs = {
    nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-24.11";
    nyx-loner.url = "github:lonerOrz/nyx-loner"; # IMPORTANT
  };

  outputs = { nixpkgs, nyx-loner, ... }: {
    nixosConfigurations = {
      hostname = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem { # Replace "hostname" with your system's hostname
        system = "x86_64-linux";
        modules = [
          ./configuration.nix
          nyx-loner.nixosModules.default # IMPORTANT
        ];
      };
    };
  };
}

In your configuration.nix enable the packages that you want:


# configuration.nix
{ pkgs, ... }:
{
  boot.kernelPackages = pkgs.linuxPackages_cachyos-lto;
}

On Home-Manager

This method is for home-manager setups without NixOS.

We recommend integrating this repo using Flakes:


# flake.nix
{
  description = "My configuration";

  inputs = {
    nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
    nyx-loner.url = "github:lonerOrz/nyx-loner"; # IMPORTANT
    home-manager = {
      url = "github:nix-community/home-manager";
      inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
    };
  };

  outputs = { nixpkgs, nyx-loner, ... }: {
    homeConfigurations = {
      configName = home-manager.lib.homeManagerConfiguration {
        pkgs = nixpkgs.legacyPackages.x86_64-linux;
        modules = [
          ./home-manager/default.nix
          nyx-loner.homeManagerModules.default # IMPORTANT
        ];
      };
    };
  };
}

In your home-manager/default.nix add a nix.package, and enable the desired packages:


{ pkgs, ... }:
{
  nix.package = pkgs.nix;
  home.packages = [ pkgs.linux_cachyos-lto ];
}

Running packages (without installing)

Besides using our module/overlay, you can run packages (without installing them) using:


nix run github:lonerOrz/nyx-loner#linux_cachyos-lto

Binary Cache notes

This fork uses Garnix CI to provide binary cache for selected packages. The cache is automatically built and deployed for the following architectures:

x86_64-linux

To use the cache, add the following to your configuration.nix:


     nix = {
      substituters = [
        "https://cache.garnix.io" # add garnix cache
      ];
      trusted-public-keys = [
        "cache.garnix.io:CTFPyKSLcx5RMJKfLo5EEPUObbA78b0YQ2DTCJXqr9g="
      ];
    };
